Predicted habitat, according to the Plover Habitat Bayesian network1, for piping plover nesting before Hurricane Sandy, immediately following Sandy, and ca. 2 years post-Sandy at study areas in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, USA.

For reference, we indicate the number of nests2 that were established in what the model predicted to be habitat, non-habitat, or uncertain landcover (where a suitability designation could not be made). Sites are listed in decreasing level of anthropogenic development.
