Hawaii Island, modelled density of malaria-resistant and -susceptible Iiwi following release of malaria-resistant birds under three climate change projections, 2030-2100
This data set provides the simulated results of releasing malaria-resistant Iiwi into existing populations of wild birds on the Island of Hawaii. Resistant birds are released into mid- and high-elevation forests at different densities at 10-year intervals from 2030 to 2070. Populations of both malaria-resistant and susceptible Iiwi are then predicted at 10-year intervals from release until 2100. Predictions are made based on 3 different climate change projections: A1B, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5. The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of creating a successful population of Iiwi when faced with higher malaria infection predicted as a result of climate change. The model results presented here build upon two previous research studies published in 2011 and 2015 (see published articles in the cross-reference section below). The original input data and model descriptions can be found in these earlier papers. This data release concentrates on the 2019 model and its output
