Validation of modelled habitat classifications for the Northern Spotted Owl in British Columbia using patterns of historical occupancy

"Large-scale, integrative decision support tools and models are often used to represent resource management problems and guide management policy. However, such tools and models can be difficult to validate and even more difficult to verify. This creates uncertainties in how best to use model results to inform development of management policy. For this report the authors used a historical data set of detections of the endangered northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) in British Columbia to examine the degree of correspondence between projections of quantity of suitable habitat and its configuration as generated by a spatially explicit modelling framework, and broad classes of area occupancy by owls observed in detection surveys between 1992 and 2001.--Document."
