We evaluated the influence of local and landscape attributes on the occurrence and density
of seven passerine species in grasslands (n= 380) throughout eastern South Dakota (USA) …

Fragmentation of breeding habitat has been hypothesized as a cause of population declines
in forest‐nesting migratory birds. Negative correlations between the degree of fragmentation …

Understanding the way regional landscapes operate, evolve, and change is a key area of
research for ecosystem science. It is also essential to support the “place‐based” …

We examined the relationship between songbird relative abundance and local and
landscape‐scale habitat variables in two predominately mid‐to late‐successional managed …

During late spring through summer of 1994 and 1995, 290 randomly selected stream sites in
Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri were sampled once for several parameters including …

Many ecological studies require analysis of collections of estimates. For example,
population change is routinely estimated for many species from surveys such as the North …

In this chapter, we describe how human activities change the abundance and quality of
terrestrial habitats and discuss the ecological implications of these changes for biota. We …

We examined the influence of local habitat and the surrounding landscape on the
distribution of Brown Treecreepers in a matrix of woodlands and pastures. Our goals were …

Most previous attempts to model the geographical range expansion of an invading species
assume random dispersal of organisms through a homogeneous environment. These …

Coastal birch forests in northern Norway have over the last 50 years gradually been
replaced with non-native spruce plantations. To investigate possible changes in bird …
