It is Internet-based, allowing remote users either to input their own data, or to use data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey for analysis. COMDYN allows probability of detection to vary among species and among locations and time periods. The basic estimator for species richness underlying all estimators is the jackknife estimator proposed by Burnham and Overton. Estimators are presented for quantities associated with temporal change in species richness, including rate of change in species richness over time, local extinction probability, local species turnover and number of local colonizing species. Estimators are also presented for quantities associated with spatial variation in species richness, including relative richness at two locations and proportion of species present in one location that are also present at a second location.

In particular, predicting the effects of habitat destruction that confine species to networks of small patches is an important prerequisite to conservation plan development. Theoretical models that predict the occurrence of species in fragmented landscapes, and relationships between stability and diversity do exist. However, reliable empirical investigations of the dynamics of biodiversity have been prevented by differences in species detection probabilities among landscapes. Using long-term data sampled at a large spatial scale in conjunction with a capture-recapture approach, we developed estimates of parameters of community changes over a 22-year period for forest breeding birds in selected areas of the eastern United States. We show that forest fragmentation was associated not only with a reduced number of forest bird species, but also with increased temporal variability in the number of species. This higher temporal variability was associated with higher local extinction and turnover rates. These results have major conservation implications. Moreover, the approach used provides a practical tool for the study of the dynamics of biodiversity.}, number={13}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Boulinier, T and Nichols, JD and Hines, JE and Sauer, JR and Flather, CH and Pollock, KH}, year={1998}, month={Jun}, pages={7497–7501} } @article{nichols_boulinier_hines_pollock_sauer_1998, title={Inference methods for spatial variation in species richness and community composition when not all species are detected}, volume={12}, ISSN={["1523-1739"]}, DOI={10.1046/j.1523-1739.1998.97331.x}, number={6}, journal={CONSERVATION BIOLOGY}, author={Nichols, JD and Boulinier, T and Hines, JE and Pollock, KH and Sauer, JR}, year={1998}, month={Dec}, pages={1390–1398} }
