Summary

This dataset represents a modeling effort intended to explore the impacts of oiling on migratory birds. The purpose of this model is to provide a first principles approach to predict potential biological impacts of altered energetics dynamics in north American migratory birds due to oiling of feathers. This data includes predicted theoretical impacts on migration timing, wintering latitude, starvation rates, and increased food uptake. This data was generated through model implementation in R (R Core Team 2020; Version 4.0.4).

Purpose

The purpose of the data generated by this model is to provide a first principles approach to predict potential biological impacts of altered energetics dynamics in north American migratory birds due to oiling of feathers. Thermal energetics were the specific focus; we had lower critical temperature and thermal conductance increase with increasing oiling severity. All outputs are based on altering these parameters. For future efforts, the higher-level purpose of this model is to serve as a submodel within a population-scale model, providing weight-of-evidence when trying to understand the impacts of oil spills on bird populations in risk and damage assessment contexts.
