birds and landscape data used to predict bee species richness

[Nash Turley]

Howdy Beeple,

Yall may be interested in this new study that used both land cover data, and bird data (community science data from eBird) to predict patterns of bee richness across eastern US:

Adding bird data approximately doubled the predicting power of the models with just the land-use layers.

Thanks, Nash!

 

Just another reason to go birding (and use eBird)!

 

For those of you who might be interested, check out https://birdcast.info/

 

It uses weather radar for bird migration forecasts. Pretty cool.

It makes so much sense.  Thanks for sending that out, Nash.
