Bird--Habitat Relationships in Interior Columbia Basin Shrubsteepe

Creator:: Earnst, Susan L. and Holmes, Aaron L.
Abstract:: Vegetation structure is important in structuring avian communities. In the sagebrush biome, where continued habitat loss is thought to threaten shrusteppe-obligate birds, both remotely sensed and field-acquired measures of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) cover have proven valuable in understanding avian abundance. Differences in structure between the exotic annual cheatgrass (Bromus...

Nesting ecology of Marbled Murrelets at a remote mainland fjord in southeast Alaska

Creator:: Barbaree, Blake A., Nelson, S. Kim, Dugger, Bruce D., Roby, Daniel D., Carter, Harry R., Whitworth, Darrell L., and Newman, Scott H.
Abstract:: Studying the ecology of endangered species in portions of their range where the population remains abundant can provide fundamental information for conservation planners. We studied nesting by radio-tagged Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) during 2007 and 2008 in Port Snettisham, a relatively pristine, remote mainland fjord in southeast Alaska with high...

Stable occupancy by breeding hawks (Buteo spp.) over 25 years on a privately managed bunchgrass prairie in northeastern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Kennedy, Patricia L., Bartuszevige, Anne M., Houle, Marcy, Humphrey, Ann B., Dugger, Katie M., and Williams, John
Abstract:: Potential for large prairie remnants to provide habitat for grassland-obligate wildlife may be compromised by nonsustainable range-management practices. In 1979–1980, high nesting densities of 3 species of hawks in the genus Buteo—Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis), Red-tailed Hawk (B. jamaicensis), and Swainson’s Hawk (B. swainsoni)—were documented on the Zumwalt Prairie and...

The persistent problem of lead poisoning in birds from ammunition and fishing tackle

Creator:: Haig, Susan M., D'Elia, Jesse, Eagles-Smith, Collin, Fair, Jeanne M., Gervais, Jennifer, Herring, Garth, Rivers, James W., and Schulz, John H.
Abstract:: Lead (Pb) is a metabolic poison that can negatively influence biological processes, leading to illness and mortality across a large spectrum of North American avifauna (>120 species) and other organisms. Pb poisoning can result from numerous sources, including ingestion of bullet fragments and shot pellets left in animal carcasses, spent...

Lidar-derived canopy architecture predicts brown creeper occupancy of two western coniferous forests

Creator:: Vogeler, Jody C., Hudak, Andrew T., Vierling, Lee A., and Vierling, Kerri T.
Abstract:: In western conifer-dominated forests where the abundance of old-growth stands is decreasing, species such as the Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) may be useful as indicator species for monitoring the health of old-growth systems because they are strongly associated with habitat characteristics associated with old growth and are especially sensitive to...

Abstract:: We used mark-recapture methods to estimate age-specific apparent survival rates for male Lesser Prairie-Chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus), a gamebird of conservation concern. A total of 311 male prairie-chickens (135 yearlings, 176 adults) were captured and banded during a 5-year study in southwest Kansas. Time-since-marking models were used to estimate apparent survival...

Factors Affecting Incubation Patterns and Sex Roles of Black Oystercatchers in Alaska

Creator:: Spiegel, Caleb S., Haig, Susan M., Goldstein, Michael I., and Huso, Manuela
Abstract:: Studies examining the effects of human disturbance on avian parental behavior and reproductive success are fundamental to bird conservation. However, many such studies fail to also consider the influence of natural threats, a variable environment, and parental roles. Our work examines interactive relationships of cyclical (time of day, tide, temperature,...
