Pacific Island Network Landbird Monitoring Dataset 2010-2024
Four parks in the Pacific Island Network were surveyed to monitor long-term trends in landbird composition, distribution, density, and abundance. Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) was surveyed in 2010, 2015-2016, 2019-2021, and 2024; the National Park of American Samoa (NPSA) in 2011, 2018, and 2023; and Haleakalā National Park (HALE) in 2012, 2017, and 2022. Surveys began in 2021 at Kalaupapa National Historical Park (KALA) and neighboring lands managed by the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources and The Nature Conservancy. Surveys in HAVO also included some adjacent state and private conservation lands and thus results provide broad spatial coverage of species detected. Using point-transect distance sampling, the surveys provide indices of relative abundance and occurrence. The dominant canopy species composition, canopy height and cover, and dominant understory species composition are also recorded at each survey station. Estimates of landbird population density and abundance are assessed in a trend analysis and published in the NPS Science Report Series or scientific journal. Alongside permanent survey transects from past surveys, randomly generated point-transects were included, creating a split-panel sampling design. This dataset includes the results from these landbird and habitat surveys.
