Delineating Grassland Bird Conservation Areas in the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region
Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, 2010 Abstract Conservation of birds is increasingly focused on the importance of landscape characteristics to sustain populations. Implementing conservation on a landscape scale requires reliable spatial models that provide biological context for conservation actions. Before species-specific models relating grassland birds to their habitat at
