Autumn stopover hotspots and multiscale habitat associations of migratory landbirds in the eastern United States
Halting the global decline of migratory birds requires a better understanding of migration
ecology. Stopover sites are a crucial yet understudied aspect of bird conservation, mostly …

Where, when, what, and which? Using characteristics of migratory species to inform conservation policy questions
Although many migratory species are of conservation concern, traditional conservation
policies and economic analysis rarely address the unique characteristics of migratory …

How ecological characteristics of seasonal migratory species influence conservation threats and policy needs
Compared to nonmigratory species, seasonal migratory species face different
anthropogenic threats and respond differently to such threats. Protecting seasonal migratory …

Exact integer linear programming solvers outperform simulated annealing for solving conservation planning problems
The resources available for conserving biodiversity are limited, and so protected areas need
to be established in places that will achieve objectives for minimal cost. Two of the main …
