Marisa T Martinez, PhD
Marisa is a Biologist at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center interested in using ecological models to understand species-habitat associations and predict how species will respond to environmental change.
Marisa's primary research interests include avian species and their habitats. Before joining USGS, Marisa's research focused on modeling spatiotemporal availability of foraging habitat for wading birds in coastal south Florida, occupancy modeling of saltmarsh sparrows in coastal Maine and Massachusetts, and post-fledging habitat use patterns of black-capped vireos in central Texas.
Science and Products
Evaluating Population Viability and Habitat Suitability for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Under Future Climate and Management Conditions
WARC will assess Cape Sable seaside sparrow population response and viability under different management and habitat change scenarios. The USGS EverSparrow model will be run on future scenarios, and differences in the predicted probability of presence and the efficacy of varying conservation strategies will be evaluated.
Demographic Analysis of the Endangered Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow
USGS researchers will examine how hydrology and landscape vegetation changes impact Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow survival and population growth.
