Tidal cycles influence the availability of shallow-water habitat for foraging wading birds, such as the little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) pictured here on an intertidal mudflat in Florida, USA. To evaluate the transferability of a model quantifying shallow water, Martinez et al. applied the Tidal Inundation Model of Shallow-water Availability (TiMSA) under novel temporal and spatial conditions in the Florida Keys and Florida Bay. The authors found that TiMSA can assume uncertainty in spatial data to generate reliable estimates of shallow-water availability over space and time. Considerable spatiotemporal changes in shallow-water habitat for little blue herons were identified using TiMSA that were otherwise undetectable with water level data alone, suggesting that TiMSA may be a valuable tool for use in natural resource management of shallow-water habitat. Martinez et al.'s results are published in the April issue of Ecosphere.
