Studies of anthropogenic impacts on wildlife may produce inconclusive or biased results if they
fail to account for natural sources of variation in breeding performance and do not use probabilistic sampling
at a scale functional for management. We used stratified random sampling and generalized linear mixed

Grassland and shrubland birds are declining globally due in part to anthropogenic habitat modification. Because population performance of these species is also influenced by non-anthropogenic factors, it is important to incorporate all relevant ecological drivers into demographic models. We used design-based sampling and occupancy models to test relationships of environmental...
