A pragmatic approach for comparing species distribution models to increasing confidence in managing piping plover habitat

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2020
Conservation management often requires decision‐making without perfect knowledge of the at‐risk species or ecosystem. Species distribution models (SDMs) are useful but largely under‐utilized due to model uncertainty. We used an ensemble modeling approach

Integrating Bayesian Networks to Forecast Sea‐Level Rise Impacts on Barrier Island Characteristics and Habitat Availability

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2022
Evaluation of sea‐level rise (SLR) impacts on coastal landforms and habitats is a persistent need for informing coastal planning and management, including policy decisions, particularly those that balance human interests and habitat protection throughout

Anthropogenic Renourishment Feedback on Shorebirds: a Multispecies Bayesian Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper the realized niche of the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), a primarily resident Florida shorebird, is described as a function of the scenopoetic and bionomic variables at the nest-, landscape-, and regional-scale.

The effect of top predator removal on the distribution of a mesocarnivore and nest survival of an endangered shorebird

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
For trophic systems regulated by top-down processes, top carnivores may determine species composition of lower trophic levels. Removal of top predators could therefore cause a shift in community composition.
