Considerations for fitting occupancy models to data from eBird and similar volunteer-collected data
Ornithology, 2023 Abstract An occupancy model makes use of data that are structured as sets of repeated visits to each of many sites, in order to estimate the actual probability of occupancy (i.e. proportion of occupied sites) after correcting for imperfect detection using the information contained in the sets of repeated observations.

Phenology of migrating game birds in Italy based on citizen science data
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Studying the timing of the seasonal movements of migratory birds, known as migration phenology, is crucial for managing and conserving migratory bird populations. This is particularly important for migratory game bird populations in Europe because, according to the EU, migratory birds should not be hunted during their breeding season or during return ...

Population trends of dabbling ducks wintering in the alluvial valleys of Arkansas and Mississippi
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Population abundances, distributions, and compositions across a diversity of taxa are changing, partly as a consequence of human‐induced global modifications. Although linking population fluctuations to anthropogenic‐induced alterations can be challenging, it is increasingly clear that long‐term monitoring is critical to understanding changing ...
