Article Synopsis
- Understanding wildlife population dynamics and conservation planning requires demographic knowledge, but mismatches in data can complicate size and process estimation.
- This study used integrated population models (IPMs) to analyze 21 years of data on snowy plovers from three locations in the Southern Great Plains, revealing important demographic trends and environmental influences.
- The results highlighted that wetland habitat significantly improves snowy plover productivity and that warmer nighttime temperatures may also benefit their populations, emphasizing the need to protect these habitats amid climate change.
