Where the wild things are (and aren't): Land cover associations of raptors in the Great Basin
2022
Overview
The Great Basin is home to a variety of avian species but as anthropogenic change continues, land cover change in this region may displace some species. We quantified the amount of land cover change in the Great Basin region between 2001 and 2019, analyzed distribution data derived from the eBird Status and Trends database for 19 raptor species (orders Accipitriformes and Falconiformes), and identified each species' land cover occurrence patterns. We discovered that 15 of the raptor species investigated had land cover type as a top-10 predictor for occupancy. We also observed a large percent change in total cover of water, deciduous forest, mixed forest, shrublands, and grasslands land cover types. The raptor species with land cover in their top-10 predictor list could thus potentially be affected by these land cover change trends. While the complexity of land cover associations are nuanced, we identify patterns of land cover change over almost 2 decades in the Great Basin and reveal species that may be impacted by continued landscape change. These findings can provide crucial information for both habitat management and species conservation. El Great Basin (en el occidente de los Estados Unidos) es hábitat para una variedad de especies de aves, aunque el cambio antropogénico sostenido en la cobertura del suelo en esta región podría desplazar a algunas especies. Cuantificamos la suma de cambio en la cobertura del suelo en la región del Great Basin entre 2001–2019, analizamos la distribución derivada de la base de datos eBird Status and Trends para 19 especies de rapaces (órdenes Accipitriformes y Falconiformes) e identificamos los patrones de presencia por cobertura de cada especie. Descubrimos que 15 de especies de rapaces que investigamos tenían la cobertura del suelo como una de las 10 principales variables de ocupación. También observamos un gran porcentaje de cambio en la superficie total de los tipos de cobertura agua, bosque deciduo, bosque mixto, matorral y pradera. Las especies de rapaces con cobertura del suelo en su lista de las 10 principales variables predictivas podrían ser potencialmente afectadas por esas tendencias en cambio de la cobertura del suelo. Si bien la complejidad de las asociaciones de cobertura del suelo es ambigua, identificamos patrones de cambio de cobertura a lo largo de cerca de 2 décadas en el Great Basin y revelan especies que podrían estar impactadas por un continuo cambio en el paisaje. Estos hallazgos proveen información crucial para el manejo de hábitat y la conservación de especies. Palabras clave: aves de presa, cambio antropogénico, cambio de uso del suelo, ciencia comunitaria, desertificación.
