The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) coordinates the Monitoring
Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) Program to assess and monitor
the vital rates and population dynamics of North American landbirds. The
MAPS Program utilizes a standardized constant-effort mist netting and
banding protocol (DeSante et al. 2010) at a continent-wide network of
monitoring stations. Each summer dedicated volunteers operate
bird-banding stations to collect data on individual
"birds-in-the-hand" representing over 200 species. Analyses of
MAPS data provide critical information relating to the ecology,
conservation, and management of North American landbird populations and
the factors responsible for changes in their populations.
Since 1989 The Institute for Bird Populations has operated MAPS
monitoring stations on multiple federal lands and used the data to
develop landbird management models and guidelines, and assess the
influence of weather and climate on bird populations. Federal funding
has also led to the development of software written in MatLab (Mathworks
Inc.) to visualize long-term MAPS data and produce species-specific
tabulated population parameters that reflect i) temporal patterns
(year-specific) that can be linked to annual/seasonal covariates (e.g.
annual summer precipitation), and ii) spatial variation (MAPS
station-specific) that can be linked to spatially-explicit covariates
(e.g. spatial statistics from GIS analyses).
