DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4906
Abstract: Abstract Birds should select nest sites that minimize predation risk, but understanding the influence of vegetation on nest survival has proven problematic. Specifically, the common practice of measuring vegetation on nest fate date can overestimate… read more here.

Density and nest survival of golden-cheeked warblers: Spatial scale matters
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Wildlife Management"
DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21234
Abstract: Conservation and management plans often rely on indicators such as species occupancy or density to define habitat quality, ignoring factors that influence reproductive success, and potentially limiting conservation achievements. We examined relationships between predicted density… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108893
Abstract: Abstract Small changes in the environment can have large impacts, leading to ‘tipping points’ or ‘threshold’ effects on populations. Identifying such effects can provide practitioners benchmarks to both minimize negative impacts and foster positive benefits… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2020-0210
Abstract: Grassland degradation and fragmentation produced by land use have globally impacted biodiversity. In the Neotropics, the Pampas Grasslands have been greatly altered by agriculture and the introduction of exotic trees. To evaluate the effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/0001-3765202120191458
Abstract: Tawny-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila hypoxantha) is an endangered (in Brazil) grassland dependent species, whose breeding success remains poorly known hampering conservation measures on its breeding grounds. Here we analyze the nest survival of the species in… read more here.

Does researcher activity impact nest survival of sharp-tailed grouse?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Wildlife Biology"
DOI: 10.2981/wlb.00690
Abstract: Nest survival is a key vital rate of game birds and frequently studied to guide population management. Common scientific protocols are invasive and often involve flushing females from their nests to assess nest contents and… read more here.

Tide and habitat features affect salt marsh songbird nest survival in northeast Florida, USA
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Endangered Species Research"
DOI: 10.3354/esr01021
Abstract: Tidal salt marshes face numerous pressures that threaten their ecological integrity, and many salt marsh vertebrates have exhibited declines concomitant with the degradation of salt marsh habitats. We studied nest survival of MacGillivray’s seaside sparrow… read more here.
