Abstract The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) was established in 1966 in
response to a lack of quantitative data on changes in the populations of many bird species at …

To address the ongoing global biodiversity crisis, conservation approaches must be
underpinned by robust information. Canada is uniquely positioned to contribute to meeting …

Point counts are one of the most commonly used methods for assessing bird abundance.
Autonomous recording units (ARUs) are increasingly being used as a replacement for …

The analysis of large heterogeneous data sets of avian point‐count surveys compiled across
studies is hindered by a lack of analytical approaches that can deal with detectability and …

For climate change projections to be useful, the magnitude of change must be understood
relative to the magnitude of uncertainty in model predictions. We quantified the signal‐to …

Point counts are one of the most common ways of collecting data to determine the relative
abundance of birds. Many studies and monitoring programs, including the North American …

Aim It is challenging to disentangle how local habitat structure, climate, and human
disturbance interplay to determine broad‐scale variation of species richness. Here, we …

We revisit the common standards recommended by,) for conducting point-count surveys to
assess the relative abundance of landbirds breeding in North America. The standards …

Acoustic recordings are increasingly used to quantify occupancy and abundance in avian
monitoring and research. The recent development of relatively inexpensive programmable …

Aim Species and ecosystems may be unable to keep pace with rapid climate change
projected for the 21st century. We evaluated an underexplored dimension of the mismatch …
