Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023 Understanding the distribution and abundance of species is a fundamental aspect of conservation biology. Species distribution models aim to predict distributions based on species observations and ecologically relevant information.

Does "task difficulty" explain "task-induced deactivation"?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 The "default mode network" is commonly described as a set of brain regions in which activity is suppressed during relatively demanding, or difficult, tasks. But what sort of tasks are these?

Extracting eBird Data from a Polygon
, 2020 One of the first things I took on when I started at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology was creating the auk R package for accessing eBird data. The entire eBird dataset can be downloaded as a massive text file, called the eBird Basic Dataset (EBD), and auk pulls out manageable chunks of the dataset based on various spatial, temporal, or taxonomic filters.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Advances in digital imaging and software tools have provided increasingly accessible datasets and methods for analysing colour evolution. Despite the variety of computational packages available, most rely on colour classification before running analyses.

Assessment of the American Flamingo distribution, trends, and important breeding areas.
PLoS ONE, 2020 The American Flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber, is a charismatic bird distributed throughout the Caribbean, North and South America. Its wide distribution, the complexity of international monitoring due to its capacity for long-distance flying, and a focus ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

Using Citizen Science to Help Monitor Urban Landscape Changes and Drive Improvements [PDF]
, 2018 Citizen Science has become a vital source for data collection when the spatial and temporal extent of a project makes it too expensive to send experts into the field.

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...
