This award recognizes ‘an outstanding initial contribution to the field of ornithology’ in research, community activities, capacity building and mentorship, and/or science communication and engagement. Remarkably, Wouter has made outstanding contributions in all of these areas.</p><p>As an academic scientist, Wouter has been at the forefront of tracking individuals on their migratory journeys and revealing how they cope with the conditions they experience, how social learning informs individual migratory behaviours and how this shapes population-scale migratory patterns. Much of this work has focused on his beloved raptors, including the European Honey Buzzards, which were the subject of his PhD at the University of Amsterdam, awarded in 2016. By integrating individual migratory tracks with atmospheric models and remote-sensing information, Wouter showed that Honey Buzzards avoid particularly costly routes when travelling between Europe and Africa, but that this can occasionally mean that they encounter harsh weather in spring, delaying them sufficiently that they miss out on breeding in some years. Wouter has explored similar issues in Marsh Harriers, through international collaborative teams tracking birds across Europe, in Lesser Spotted Eagles, where tracking of translocated juveniles highlighted the importance of social learning for juvenile survival, and in Eleonora's Falcons, revealing how winds shape their extraordinary trans-African journeys.</p><p>In addition to his excellent academic research, Wouter is co-founder and research coordinator of the nature conservation non-governmental organization <i>Batumi Raptor Count</i> (https://www.batumiraptorcount.org/), a truly exceptional citizen science and community engagement project monitoring raptor migration through the Batumi area of Georgia since 2008. Many hundreds of people have taken part in the standardized surveys of autumn migration through the Batumi region that Wouter and his colleagues developed. The resulting data have led to a series of important publications and the team have worked hard to ensure that these highly valuable data are digitized and available as open access. One of the exceptional features of the Batumi project is the strength of the community links that have been developed, and the insights and engagement opportunities that have followed. Wouter's role in developing and maintaining this extremely effective non-governmental organization at such an early career stage is highly inspiring.</p><p>Wouter has always been a passionate and committed conservationist and his most recent work in the wetlands of Doñana, in southern Spain, has focused on Black-tailed Godwits and Eurasian Spoonbills, tracking their movements around the wetlands and their subsequent journeys back to their breeding grounds.

BirdNET is an open‐source automatic prediction model that is popular because of its lack of training requirements for end users. Several studies have sought to test the accuracy of BirdNET and illustrate its potential in occupancy modelling of single or multiple species. However, these techniques either require extensive statistical knowledge or computational power to be applied to large datasets. In addition, there is a lack of comparisons of occupancy and community composition calculated using BirdNET and typical field methods. Here we develop a framework for assessing the accuracy of BirdNET using generalized linear mixed models to determine species‐specific confidence score thresholds. We then compare community composition under our model and another post‐processing approach to field data collected from co‐located point count surveys in northeastern Vermont. Our framework outperformed the other post‐processing method and resulted in species composition similar to that of point count surveys. Our work highlights the potential mismatch between accuracy and confidence score and the importance of developing species‐specific thresholds. The framework can facilitate research on large acoustic datasets and can be applied to output from BirdNET or other automatic prediction models.","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"206 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is increasing theoretical interest in how spatial and temporal variation in the environment can create differences in the demographic contribution of individuals over space and time. However, empirical information about the characteristics of the environmental drivers of key vital rates and their spatiotemporal variation is still scarce. Here, we used data generated by a monitoring scheme (1990–2015) of a population of a long-lived territorial avian predator, Bonelli's Eagle <i>Aquila fasciata</i>, which included estimations of individuals' diet through stable isotope analysis (2008–15), to evaluate whether temporal consistency in spatially structured dietary patterns affects key demographic parameters, namely productivity and survival, at territory scales. We found strong within-population heterogeneity in survival and reproduction rates associated with Eagle territories, with territory average values ranging, respectively, from 0.58 to 1.00 and from 0 to 1.71 for the overall study period. Reproduction and survival were predictable over, respectively, 4- and 3-year periods for the bulk of the population, which suggests that the environmental drivers of these vital rates changed at these temporal scales. Interestingly, the characteristics of and the temporal variation in the diets of territorial individuals during these periods were associated with their survival and reproduction. Based on these findings, we suggest that spatial and temporal variations in trophic scenarios potentially act as meaningful drivers of intrapopulation demographic heterogeneity.</p>","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"167 1","pages":"179-195"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ibi.13351","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
