Predicting patch occupancy in fragmented landscapes at the rangewide scale for an endangered species: an example of an American warbler

Aim Our objective was to identify the distribution of the endangered goldencheeked warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia) in fragmented oak‐juniper woodlands by applying a geoadditive semiparametric occupancy model to better assist decisionmakers in identifying suitable habitat across the species breeding range on which conservation or mitigation activities can be focused and thus prioritize management and conservation planning.
