https://abcbirds.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Glittering-Startfrontlet-by-Dubi-Shapiro_PR-feat-image.png600600A study published today in the open-access scientific journal PLOS ONE by conservationists at American Bird Conservancy (ABC), BirdLife International, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Duke University, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and Saving Nature uses an innovative new method to rapidly produce range maps for birds using a combination of crowd-sourced bird records combined with satellite data on forest cover and elevation. This work has revealed that many species have larger ranges than previously known — but that the range actually habitable may be quite small.
