Integrating tracking and resight data from breeding Painted Bunting populations enables unbiased inferences about migratory connectivity and winter range survival

The paper integrates geolocator and mark-resight data to estimate migratory connectivity and winter survival in Painted Buntings, finding lower return rates for males wintering in Cuba.

Integrating citizen science data with expert surveys increases accuracy and spatial extent of species distribution models

This study integrates citizen science data with expert surveys to improve the accuracy and spatial coverage of species distribution models for shorebirds in California.

Modeling Avian Full Annual Cycle Distribution and Population Trends with Citizen Science Data

The paper develops a framework to analyze citizen science data and estimate species distribution and abundance across the annual cycle, applied to Wood Thrush using eBird data.

Finding the signal in the noise of Citizen Science Observations

The paper evaluates how citizen science projects can improve biodiversity monitoring by collecting contextual information to reduce noise and enhance signal accuracy, using eBird as a case study.

Using citizen science data in integrated population models to inform conservation decision-making

The paper uses eBird citizen science data in integrated population models to estimate population trends and identify conservation strategies for tricolored blackbirds.
