Tracking the Long-Term Decline and Recovery of an Isolated Population
Ronald L. Westemeier,Jeffrey D. Brawn,Scott A. Simpson,Terry L. Esker,Roger W. Jansen,Jeffery W. Walk,Eric L. Kershner,Juan L. Bouzat,Ken N. Paige +8 more
TL;DR: Conservation measures initiated in 1992 with translocations of birds from large, genetically diverse populations restored egg viability and sufficient genetic resources appear to be critical for maintaining populations of greater prairie chickens.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of disturbance in the ecology and conservation of birds
TL;DR: In North America, the extent of all natural habitats has diminished significantly owing to outright loss from agriculture and development, the suppression of disturbance by agents such as fire and flooding has led to further losses as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of transmitter effects on avian behaviour and ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a meta-analysis of 84 studies to investigate the effect of transmitters and other devices on birds' behavior and ecology, and found that birds with devices had markedly increased energy expenditure and were much less likely to nest.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A mosquito blood meal analysis integrating host-feeding patterns of Cx.

TL;DR: Over 280 samples of local species of galling herbivorous insects from fourteen countries on all continents except Antarctica revealed a strong pattern of highest richness in warm temperate latitudes, or their altitudinal equivalents, and results were consistent with the hypothesis.
