5/6 #BOUsci21 #SESH3 Using a spatially explicit approach we want to investigate how habitat features influence bird movement. Here the abundance of birds increases when rain (black) ceases and wind directions changes

4/6 #BOUsci21 #SESH3 Predictions are evaluated using predictions generated for years omitted from the analysis. Migration is more predictable in fall and environmental conditions also contribute more to accurate predictions in fall (threshold 10 birds/km^2).

3/6 #BOUsci21 #SESH3 Using an ensemble model we investigate how adding weather conditions improve the model. In spring wind and temperature are key, in fall the accumulation of migrants due to wind from the south preventing them from making progress.

2/6 #BOUsci21 #SESH3 A phenological model identifies key migratory times as a product of day of the year and time of the day based on 10 years of data from the Netherlands. Features like migration peaks in fall and migrant arrival from the UK in spring are found.

1/6 #BOUsci21 #SESH3 Weather radars are used to monitor the nocturnal migration of birds across continents. We use the data to develop predictive models for bird migration to reduce the risk of bird-strikes (bird-aircraft collisions).
