Autumn migratory landbird stopover density radars, Northeast U.S. This dataset contains measures of seasonal mean bird stopover densities and in seasonal mean bird density based on weather surveillance radar data from 20 radar locations in the Northeast U.S. across seven autumn migrations (15 August through 7 November of 2008-2014) [six autumn migrations for the terminal doppler weather radar (15 August through 7 November of 2009-2014)]. Data are present only in radar-sampled areas for each individual radar (see below for description on how these data are filtered). If you are interested in a continuous map of bird stopover densities for the entire region (and outside of these radar coverage areas), refer to layer “Predicted autumn migratory landbird density, 1km, Northeast U.S.”.The...

With many of the world’s migratory bird populations in alarming decline, broad‐scale assessments of responses to migratory hazards may prove crucial to successful conservation efforts. Most birds migrate at night through increasingly light‐polluted skies. Bright light sources can attract airborne migrants and lead to collisions with structures, but might also influence selection of migratory stopover habitat and thereby acquisition of food resources. We demonstrate, using multi‐year weather radar measurements of nocturnal migrants across the northeastern U.S., that autumnal migrant stopover density...

We used datacollected during Fall 2008 to 2014 by 16 NEXRAD and four terminal Doppler weather radars(TDWR) in the northeastern U.S. to map and study the spatial distribution of landbirds shortlyafter they leave daytime stopover sites to embark on nocturnal migratory flights.

The existing NAACC protocol was developed primarily for freshwater streams and the suite of organisms that occur in these systems.

In response to this threat, scientists from The Nature Conservancy evaluated 10,736 sites in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic for the size, configuration and adequacy of their migration space, and for the natural processes necessary to support the migration of coastal habitats in response to sea-level rise. The resulting resilience dataset is intended to help natural resource managers, conservationists, and others identify resilient lands for protection and restoration across the North Atlantic coast, and has been integrated into the Nature’s Network conservation...

The dataset also includes measures of land cover characteristics, vegetative productivity, and geographic context used in the models to predict bird stopover use.

The analysis assigned locations to categories of diffuse flow (intact, permeable areas that facilitate high levels of dispersal), concentrated flow (large quantities of flow are concentrated through a narrow area), constrained flow (low permeability, with flow following a weak reticulated network), or blocked flow...

During the migration period, birds must find habitat where they can stop, rest and replenish their energy reserves. Conservation efforts are increasingly focused on identifying stopover sites that are important for sustaining migratory landbird populations. This project builds upon prior work by the University of Delaware and USGS to use weather surveillance data and field surveys to map and predict important migratory bird stopover sites.This project was co-funded by through...
