Can we show statistically that the relative quantity of a resource on the landscape predicts the
presence of a species such as Northern Flicker?

Sampling intensity is too low; birds occur within good habitat but sampling does not capture all occurrences.
Habitat is not 100% saturated; there are areas of good habitat which are unoccupied.
Habitat is over 100% saturated; birds occur in areas of poor habitat.

Technical Conclusions
• A-priori hypotheses concerning species-habitat associations are essential
• Required resources should be amalgamated by suite
• Resource contrast is essential and should be planned:
•Ratio of ‘between-point:within-point’ variability must be increased for both resources and species-of-interest
•Point-count method must be designed with spatial period considerations in mind

At best:
Affirmative conclusions about the importance of ‘critical resources’ based on statistical correlations alone are not justified!
Key Conservation Conclusion
At worst:
Affirmative conclusions about the importance of ‘critical resources’ based on statistical correlations alone, and without documenting the spatial characteristics of the landscape etc., are completely indefensible!
