Island of Hawaiʻi lidar-based habitat suitability for ʻākohekohe (Palmeria dolei) conservation introductions, 2023
February 23, 2024
This dataset comprises high-resolution geotif files representing various aspects of the ʻākohekohe (Palmeria dolei) potential habitat on the Island of Hawaiʻi. It includes a habitat suitability map showing average suitability scores, a map of homogenous forested areas (HFAs) depicting clusters with consistent suitability scores, and a map of pixel-wise standard deviation across habitat suitability models. These maps were generated through a comprehensive analysis using lidar-based metrics, offering detailed insights into the habitat preferences of ʻākohekohe.

Identifying conservation introduction sites for endangered birds through the integration of lidar-based habitat suitability models and population viability analyses
Similar to other single-island endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers, the critically endangered ‘ākohekohe (Palmeria dolei) is threatened by climate-driven disease spread. To avert the imminent risk of extinction, managers are considering novel measures, including the conservation introduction (CI) of ‘ākohekohe from Maui to higher elevation habitats on the Island of Hawai’i.
