Abstract

. Surveys optimized to coincide with peak detectability of target species are critical to the success of monitoring programs, especially those targeting species of conservation concern. Established species-specific survey protocols are often inconsistent between jurisdictions, with limited spatial and temporal data to inform survey timing. The recent proliferation of programmable autonomous recording units (ARUs) and automated detection software enables the processing of huge volumes of acoustic data, which can improve our understanding of the acoustic phenology of many bird species. In May–July 2014, we deployed ARUs across a gradient of latitude near the northern limit of the breeding range of the Common Nighthawk ( Chordeiles minor ), a species of conservation concern, to quantify variation in temporal detection patterns. Most activity occurred after sunset and before sunrise, with a pronounced peak during civil twilight. We found considerable latitudinal differences in the activity patterns of birds, related to variation in the occurrence or duration of twilight periods. At northern sites (> 60° N), birds were active from dusk until dawn, likely because civil twilight lasted the entire period. At southern sites (< 55° N), twilight periods were short, resulting in concentrated, bimodal activity. Activity peaked in the middle of the breeding season, which occurred earlier in the south than the north. Our results suggest surveys should occur in June in southern Canada (> 50° N) and between mid-June and mid-July further north, given high activity rates throughout the breeding season. Given that non-vocal booms are more strongly associated with breeding activity and nesting sites, future surveys should focus on targeting this acoustic signal. Considering the timing of activity patterns in this species, we recommend a targeted, species-specific survey to ensure documentation of their abundance and distribution. Finally, we provide recommendations to improve survey timing and provide advice for acoustic data management and processing in relation to this species. pic prononcé pendant le crépuscule civil.

在模糊地带:普通夜鹰(Chordeiles minor)在繁殖季节的声音信号模式和调查建议
. 与目标物种的峰值可探测性相一致的优化调查对于监测计划的成功至关重要,特别是那些针对保护物种的监测计划。已建立的特定物种调查协议在不同司法管辖区之间往往不一致,用于调查时间的空间和时间数据有限。近年来,可编程自主记录单元(ARUs)和自动检测软件的普及使处理大量声学数据成为可能,这可以提高我们对许多鸟类声学物候的理解。2014年5月至7月,我们在普通夜鹰(Chordeiles minor)繁殖范围北部的纬度梯度附近部署了ARUs,以量化时间检测模式的变化,这是一种受保护的物种。大多数活动发生在日落之后和日出之前,在民事暮光期间达到明显的高峰。我们发现鸟类的活动模式在纬度上存在相当大的差异,这与暮光期的发生或持续时间的变化有关。在北部地区(北纬60°),鸟类从黄昏到黎明都很活跃,可能是因为黄昏持续了整个时期。在南方(< 55°N),暮光期较短,导致双峰活动集中。活动在繁殖季节中期达到高峰,南部比北部发生得早。我们的研究结果表明,考虑到整个繁殖季节的高活动率,调查应在6月在加拿大南部(北纬50°)和6月中旬至7月中旬之间进行。考虑到非声音轰鸣声与繁殖活动和筑巢地点的联系更紧密,未来的调查应该把重点放在这种声音信号上。考虑到该物种活动模式的时间,我们建议进行有针对性的、特定物种的调查,以确保记录它们的丰度和分布。最后,提出了改进调查时机的建议,并对该物种声学数据的管理和处理提出了建议。PIC prononcous pendant le crasspuscle civil。不同情况下,可变因素的差别,例如:可变因素的变化,可变因素的变化,可变因素的变化,可变因素的变化,可变因素的变化,可变因素的变化,可变因素的变化。网站中找到septentrionaux(> 60°n)、莱斯oiseaux actifs du黎明是l 'aube probablement因为黄昏民事durait吹捧里面。在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内,在< 55°n的范围内。L ' activitv是一个关注的焦点,它是一个环境,它是一个环境,它是一个环境,加上tôt,它是一个环境,它是一个环境,它是一个环境。5 .没有单独的、不相关的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的、不确定的。像莱斯繁荣非vocaux是加上fortement过渡群系l 'activite de筑巢等辅助网站de营巢,les未来式地形devraient已ces儿子德联系。《关于与其他电子设备有关的活动的统计年表》、《关于与其他电子设备有关的活动的统计年表》、《关于与其他电子设备有关的活动的统计年表》、《关于与其他电子设备有关的活动的统计年表》、《关于与其他电子设备有关的活动的统计年表》、《关于与其他电子设备有关的活动的统计年表》、《关于文件数量和分发的保证》。最后,有四种不同的建议,例如,与相关的薪金薪金有关的薪金薪金,与有关的薪金薪金有关的薪金薪金,与有关的薪金薪金有关的薪金薪金,以及与薪金薪金有关的薪金薪金。

期刊介绍: Avian Conservation and Ecology is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal, sponsored by the Society of Canadian Ornithologists and Birds Canada. We publish papers that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to the bird conservation community in a cost-effective electronic approach that makes them freely available to scientists and the public in real-time. ACE is a fully indexed ISSN journal that welcomes contributions from scientists all over the world. While the name of the journal implies a publication niche of conservation AND ecology, we think the theme of conservation THROUGH ecology provides a better sense of our purpose. As such, we are particularly interested in contributions that use a scientifically sound and rigorous approach to the achievement of avian conservation as revealed through insights into ecological principles and processes. Papers are expected to fall along a continuum of pure conservation and management at one end to more pure ecology at the other but our emphasis will be on those contributions with direct relevance to conservation objectives.
