A conceptual framework for clutch-size evolution in songbirds
TE Martin - The American Naturalist, 2014 - journals.uchicago.edu
Causes of evolved differences in clutch size among songbird species remain debated. I
propose a new conceptual framework that integrates aspects of traditional life-history theory …

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

Post-fledging Golden-winged Warblers require forests with multiple stand developmental stages
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 …

[PDF][PDF] Cross-scale habitat selection reveals within-stand structural requirements for fledgling Golden-winged Warblers.
The post-fledging period remains one of the most understudied portions of the avian
lifecycle despite the fact that fledglings require resources distinct from those used during …
