Published in 2018 at "Southeastern Naturalist"

DOI: 10.1656/058.017.0108

Abstract: Abstract Peucaea aestivalis (Bachman's Sparrow), a songbird endemic to the southeastern US, has experienced long-term population declines and a northern range-boundary retraction. Habitat loss and degradation, largely related to fire suppression, are believed to be… read more here.
