Research

We conducted a study to evaluate the performance of BirdNET to survey grassland bird communities in Nebraska by comparing this automated approach to point count surveys. 

We developed a case example where we evaluated the utility of the Nebraska Extension Wildlife Website to help other states identify opportunities to strategically target human-wildlife conflict information to the public. 

A key concern for the conservation community is how perennial bioenergy grasslands, deployed at multiple spatial scales, impact declining grassland bird species. To address this, we studied bird communities in perennial grasslands suitable for bioenergy production in southwestern Nebraska. 

We used passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) to compare bird communities in perennial grasslands and croplands in southwestern Nebraska.
