Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation on avian productivity in forests of the Pacific Northwest of North America
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of global climate phenomena on avian population dynamics were identified and quantified by identifying and quantifying the spatial and temporal relationships between climate, weather and bird populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping migration in a songbird using high‐resolution genetic markers
Kristen C. Ruegg,Kristen C. Ruegg,Eric C. Anderson,Eric C. Anderson,Kristina L. Paxton,Kristina L. Paxton,Vanessa Apkenas,Sirena Lao,Rodney B. Siegel,David F. DeSante,Frank R. Moore,Thomas B. Smith,Thomas B. Smith +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown how high‐resolution genetic markers can be used to identify genetically distinct groups of a migratory bird, the Wilson's warbler (Cardellina pusilla), at fine enough spatial scales to facilitate assessing regional drivers of demographic trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrodiversity promotes avian diversity over the decade following forest fire.
Morgan W. Tingley,Morgan W. Tingley,Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez,Robert L. Wilkerson,Christine A. Howell,Rodney B. Siegel +5 more
TL;DR: This work uses a dynamic Bayesian community model to test whether pyrodiversity—defined as the standard deviation of fire severity—increases avian biodiversity at two spatial scales, and whether and how this relationship may change in the decade following fire.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat Use and Selection by California Spotted Owls in a Postfire Landscape
TL;DR: The authors examined effects of fire on 7 radiomarked California spotted owls from four territories by quantifying use of habitat for nesting, roosting, and foraging according to severity of burn in and near a 610-km2 fire in the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA, 4 years after fire.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel statistical methods for integrating genetic and stable isotope data to infer individual-level migratory connectivity
Colin W. Rundel,Colin W. Rundel,Michael B. Wunder,Allison H. Alvarado,Kristen C. Ruegg,Kristen C. Ruegg,Ryan J. Harrigan,Andrew Schuh,Jeffrey F. Kelly,Rodney B. Siegel,David F. DeSante,Thomas B. Smith,John Novembre +12 more
TL;DR: A novel Bayesian approach to jointly leverage genetic and isotopic markers and is able to achieve levels of assignment accuracy that exceed those of either method alone and can reveal specific migratory connectivity patterns.
