Patterns of association between humans and biodiversity typically show positive, negative,
or negative quadratic relationships and can be described by 3 hypotheses: biologically rich …

Kirtland's warblers (Dendroica kirtlandii) persist in a naturally patchy environment of young,
regenerating jack pine forests (ie, 5–23 years old) created after wildfires and human logging …

Geographic divergences in patterns of species richness were studied for the terrestrial birds
of North America using Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) census data subdivided for guild and …

We explored the role of stand-level forest structure and spatial extent of forest sampling in
models of avian occurrence in northern hardwood-conifer forests for two species: black …

Forest dwelling birds with narrow habitat preferences may be vulnerable to habitat changes
from forest management. The Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus bicknelli (Ridgway, 1882)), a rare …

Aim The paradigm that species' patterns of distribution, abundance and coexistence are the
result of adaptations of the species to their niches has recently been challenged by evidence …

Landscapes available to birds to select for breeding locations are arrayed along multiple
dimensions. Identifying the primary gradients structuring shrubsteppe bird communities in …

Digital map products that integrate long-term duck population and land-use data are
currently being used to guide conservation program delivery on the Canadian Prairies …

Although the affinity to the matrix habitat (matrix affinity) determines the fate of species in
dynamic landscapes where habitat replacement occurs, only a few studies have examined …

Summary 1 Current understanding regarding the effects of boundaries on bird communities
has originated largely from studies of forest–non‐forest boundaries in mesic systems. To …
