Mean predicted change in pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) density (birds/km2) from 2008 to 2020

Mean predicted change in pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) density (birds/km²) from 2008 to 2020 based on Bayesian hierarchical models accounting for incomplete detection. The model was informed by point counts conducted from 2008 to 2020; USA. Gray polygon borders represent priority areas for conservation (PACs) for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Darker blue color indicates reduced pinyon jay density from 2008 to 2020, and darker red color indicates increased pinyon jay density from 2008 to 2020.
