folks, please see Alana Westwood's note below:

"Hello all,

I am working on a synthesis paper examining the use of species distribution
modelling for landbird species. In particular, I am looking to add
unpublished, non-academic papers: internal reports, government-commissioned
models, initiatives by NGOs, etc.I am hoping I can ask you for assistance
in tracking down some examples of such =E2=80=98gray literature=E2=80=99.


Reports and documents meeting my inclusion criteria must:

- develop a *spatially-explicit* species distribution model (this means
that results of the model can be mapped onto the land surface)

- *predict *species occurrence, density, abundance, or some other metric in
a continuous or categorical manner

- include at least one *landbird* species in the model


Any reports or examples you might be able to share would be most
appreciated. I also ask if you could push this requests through listservs
you belong to for bird/wildlife research, as well as forward it to
colleagues that you think may be able to help.


Thank you,
