Predicted relative abundance for Brown Boobys (Sula leucogaster) from August to October. These long-term, regional models were developed using a boosted zero-inflated count framework. Their purpose was to help inform future data collection efforts around the Main Hawaiian Islands. Please see the following chapter for the full set of dataset limitations: Winship, A.J., B.P.
