Description
Summary:By making use of the most amount of open and available data as possible, researchers, government agencies, and conservation practitioners can better understand the trends and distributions of species of interest, which can lead us to better understand and evaluate the state of the current ecological system. [...]by using those probabilities to integrate multiple monitoring datasets and evaluate various full annual cycle hypotheses for causes of common nighthawk population declines. [...]data integration for understanding full annual cycle causes of population declines resulted in more significant population trends detected and stronger results more aligned with common nighthawk ecology.
