Aim We examined whether the available surface area, temperature, or habitat complexity
(foliage height diversity index) determine species richness of birds (and species richness of …

Habitat restoration is a cornerstone of conservation, particularly for habitat‐limited species.
However, restoration efforts are seldom rigorously monitored at meaningful spatial scales …

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 …

Forests of the eastern United States (US) mostly comprise a mix of stands managed
following silvicultural principles and stands managed with exploitative timber harvesting …

Abstract The Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea) is a species of conservation need, with
declines linked in part to forest habitat loss on its breeding grounds. Active management of …

Abstract Background Mature oak (Quercus spp.) and hickory (Carya spp.) trees are
gradually being replaced by more shade-tolerant tree species across the eastern US, likely …

Forest managers frequently must balance timber production and wildlife conservation goals
when choosing management approaches. We studied the response of the breeding bird …

Light-level geolocators, miniature devices used for tracking avian migration over the full
annual cycle, are being widely deployed on small migratory passerines. However, the …

Conservationists spend considerable resources to create and enhance wildlife habitat.
Monitoring how species respond to these efforts helps managers allocate limited resources …

Despite the growing popularity of using single species as surrogates for biodiversity,
conservation interventions for a single taxon do not always benefit other species within the …
