Thanks to all data providers:
Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas (Bird Studies Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, Federation of Ontario Naturalists, Ontario Field Ornithologists, and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) for supplying Atlas data, and to the thousands of volunteer participants who gathered data for the project, and Cadman et al. (1987; 2007);
Natural Resource Canada and McKenney et al. (2011) for supplying climate data;
Global Forest Watch Canada and Lee (2007) for publicly sharing datasets of anthropogenic changes;
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and Bai et al. (2008) for publicly sharing data of net primary productivity changes.
