Global changes in climate and land use are threatening natural ecosystems, biodiversity,
and the ecosystem services people rely on. This is why it is necessary to track and monitor …

Animals select habitat at multiple spatial scales, suggesting that biodiversity modeling, for
example of species richness, should be based on environmental data gathered at multiple …

Anthropogenic habitat modification is a leading contributor to biodiversity change, but it is
unclear what factors, including scale, influence the magnitude of change. Changes in …

Species distribution models are vital to management decisions that require understanding
habitat use patterns, particularly for species of conservation concern. However, the …

Birds are useful indicators of overall biodiversity, which continues to decline globally,
despite targets to reduce its loss. The aim of this paper is to understand the importance of …

Avian diversity, a key indicator of ecosystem health, is closely related to canopy structure.
Most avian diversity models are based on either optical remote sensing or airborne lidar …

Many sampling and analytical methods can estimate the abundance, distributions, and
diversity of birds and other wildlife. However, challenges with sample size and analytical …

Heterogeneous vegetation supports higher species richness than homogenous vegetation,
which is why efficiently identifying heterogenous vegetation can be useful for biodiversity …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely employed to evaluate species–
environment relationships. However, when extrapolated over broad spatial scales or …

As global change accelerates, accurate predictions of species distributions and biodiversity
patterns are critical to prevent population declines and biodiversity loss. However, at …
