For most bird species, little is known about their ecology and survival between fledging and
independence despite the potential for post-fledging survival to be a factor limiting …

Glucocorticoid hormones are an integral part of the vertebrate stress response, and
theoretical models argue for a link between glucocorticoid levels and individual fitness. The …

Declines in populations of birds that breed in disturbance‐dependent early‐successional
forest have largely been ascribed to habitat loss. Clearcutting is an efficient and effective …

Our understanding of songbird habitat needs during the breeding season stems largely from
studies of nest success. However, growing evidence shows that nesting habitat and post …

Many birds that are experiencing population declines require extensive tracts of mature
forest habitat for breeding. Recent work suggests that at least some may shift their habitat …

We used radio telemetry to monitor movements, cover-type selection, and survival for
fledglings of the mature-forest nesting Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) at two managed forest …

Postfledging habitat use and fledgling survival remain unstudied for most songbirds, but this
period is critical for understanding breeding habitat associations and full-season …

Domestic and foreign renewable energy targets and financial incentives have increased
demand for woody biomass and bioenergy in the southeastern United States. This demand …

Non-native insect pests can have significant effects on forest ecosystems. Forest fruit-
targeting non-native insect pests may cause extensive damage to fruits, reducing food for …

If differences in ecological requirements result in juvenile birds using different habitats from
breeding birds, then habitat management to protect those birds must protect both breeding …
