Spatial modeling of the relative abundance of wading birds in peninsular Florida using citizen science data

Abstract Recent literature has shown citizen science data that include reported counts, such as observations from the eBird database, can be used to model the relative abundance of selected species. The objective of our study was to extend on both the methodology and the range of species considered...
