NEW PERSPECTIVES ON BIRD-WINDOW COLLISION: THE EFFECTS OF SPECIES TRAITS AND LOCAL ABUNDANCE ON COLLISION SUSCEPTIBILITY by
2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Birds provide substantial ecosystem services such as pest control and act as indicators of environmental health. Diverse, widespread, and conspicuous, they have also helped advance our understanding of how ecological communities function. Unfortunately, human activities are now adversely affecting many bird species, driving populations downward. While major threats like habi...
متن کاملOn the Relative Abundance of Bird Species.
One approach to the study of the structure of animal communities for which there is a considerable amount of raw data is the comparison of abundances of the species of a group of organisms in a given locality. The basic information is a list of species found and the abundance of each. This can best be plotted by ranking the species from commonest to rarest along the abscissa and plotting their ...
متن کاملHabitat traits and species interactions differentially affect abundance and body size in pond-breeding amphibians.
In recent studies, habitat traits have emerged as stronger predictors of species occupancy, abundance, richness and diversity than competition. However, in many cases, it remains unclear whether habitat also mediates processes more subtle than competitive exclusion, such as growth, or whether intra- and interspecific interactions among individuals of different species may be better predictors o...
متن کاملEcological traits affect the response of tropical forest bird species to land-use intensity.
Land-use change is one of the main drivers of current and likely future biodiversity loss. Therefore, understanding how species are affected by it is crucial to guide conservation decisions. Species respond differently to land-use change, possibly related to their traits. Using pan-tropical data on bird occurrence and abundance across a human land-use intensity gradient, we tested the effects o...
متن کاملFuel breaks affect nonnative species abundance in Californian plant communities.
We evaluated the abundance of nonnative plants on fuel breaks and in adjacent untreated areas to determine if fuel treatments promote the invasion of nonnative plant species. Understanding the relationship between fuel treatments and nonnative plants is becoming increasingly important as federal and state agencies are currently implementing large fuel treatment programs throughout the United St...
