Transferability of habitat suitability models for nesting woodpeckers associated with wildfire

摘要: ABSTRACT Following wildfire, forest managers are challenged with meeting both socioeconomic demands (e.g., salvage logging) and mandates requiring habitat conservation for disturbance-associated wildlife woodpeckers). Habitat suitability models nesting woodpeckers can be informative, but tests of model transferability needed to understand how broadly developed at one location applied inform post-fire management other locations. We tested their 2 woodpecker species, Black-backed (Picoides arcticus) Lewis's (Melanerpes lewis) woodpecker. consisted weighted logistic regression comparing environmental conditions nest versus non-nest sites. each 3 wildfire locations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, then examined predictive performance alternate (“application”) Models generally discrim...
