Journal ArticleDOI
Image texture predicts avian density and species richness.
TL;DR: Surprisingly and interestingly, remotely sensed vegetation structure measures were often better predictors of avian density and species richness than field-measured vegetation structure, and thus show promise as a valuable tool for mapping habitat quality and characterizing biodiversity across broad areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of Dynamic Habitat Indices derived from different MODIS products as predictors of avian species richness
Martina L. Hobi,Maxim Dubinin,Catherine H. Graham,Nicholas C. Coops,Murray K. Clayton,Anna M. Pidgeon,Volker C. Radeloff +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate different proxies for annual plant productivity from Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) as input for the Dynamic Habitat Indices (DHI), and determine how well they predict the richness of breeding bird species in six functional guilds across the conterminous United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaffirming Social Landscape Analysis in Landscape Ecology: A Conceptual Framework
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the theoretical parallels between concepts, principles, and theories in landscape ecology and those in demography, and propose a more coherent characterization of people, social organizational structure and social relations on the land.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bird diversity : a predictable function of satellite-derived estimates of seasonal variation in canopy light absorbance across the United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between bird species richness derived from the North American Breeding Bird Survey and estimates of the average, minimum, and the seasonal variation in canopy light absorbance (the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation, fPAR) derived from NASA's species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pace of past climate change vs. potential bird distributions and land use in the United States.
Brooke L. Bateman,Anna M. Pidgeon,Volker C. Radeloff,Jeremy VanDerWal,Wayne E. Thogmartin,Stephen J. Vavrus,Patricia J. Heglund +6 more
TL;DR: This study found that potential breeding distributions for landbirds have shifted substantially, about double the pace of prior distribution shift estimates across terrestrial systems globally, and illustrates that climate change is not only a future threat, but something birds are already experiencing.
