The paper introduces the BirdsPlus Index (BPI), a method that uses acoustic data and conservation scores to assess site-level conservation values, showing consistency across models and alignment with ecological drivers.

The paper integrates species conservation status, vulnerability factors, and ecological uniqueness to create a scoring system for assessing bird biodiversity at the site level.

The paper uses LiDAR and audio recordings to identify forest structural factors influencing eastern whip-poor-will abundance in Pennsylvania.

This paper introduces an automated method to identify individual birds by song, enabling multi-year recapture from acoustic data with 96% accuracy.
