A New North American Bird - Flea
Dr. Phyllis T. Johnson, of the Entomology Research Division, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington D. C, most kindly invited me to describe a new bird-flea, material of which was found in the collections of the U. S. National Museum. The specimens of the new flea were collected from the nest of a barn swallow and are part of a series which constitutes the first record of fleas from the No...
متن کاملStandardized North American Marsh Bird Monitoring Protocol
—Little is known about the population status of many marsh-dependent birds in North America but recent efforts have focused on collecting more reliable information and estimates of population trends. As part of that effort, a standardized survey protocol was developed in 1999 that provided guidance for conducting marsh bird surveys throughout North America such that data would be consistent amo...
متن کاملDominant climate influences on North American bird distributions
Aim Geographic distributions of species are constrained by several factors acting at different scales, with climate assumed to be a major determinant at broad extents. Recent studies, however, have challenged this statement and indicated that climate may not dominate among the factors governing geographic distributions of species. Here, we argue that these results are misleading due to the lack...
متن کاملContrasting changes in the abundance and diversity of North American bird assemblages from 1971 to 2010.
Although it is generally recognized that global biodiversity is declining, few studies have examined long-term changes in multiple biodiversity dimensions simultaneously. In this study, we quantified and compared temporal changes in the abundance, taxonomic diversity, functional diversity, and phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages, using roadside monitoring data of the North American Breed...
متن کاملThe role of exotic species in homogenizing the North American flora.
Exotic species have begun to homogenize the global biota, yet few data are available to assess the extent of this process or factors that constrain its advance at global or continental scales. We evaluate homogenization of vascular plants across America north of Mexico by comparing similarity in the complete native and exotic floras between states and provinces of the USA and Canada. Compared w...
