Uganda bird trends
May 27, 2025
Birds were surveyed using time-to-detection count methods across Uganda from 1985 to 2011. This code analyzes these data (from the associated data release) to test for relationships between tree cover, time (year), and species richness and occupancy.

Trends in richness and occupancy of Ugandan birds and relation to local tree cover Trends in richness and occupancy of Ugandan birds and relation to local tree cover
Changes in vegetation cover are occurring across sub-Saharan Africa and can have substantial effects on ecological communities, but limited data make understanding status and trends difficult for many taxa. We surveyed birds for several decades across Uganda using point counts. Using time-to-detection analysis in a trait-informed Bayesian multi-species occupancy framework, we model bird...
