Patch-and landscape-scale effects on area sensitivity of grassland birds in Iowa
The Iowa landscape has been drastically transformed due to agricultural practices, causing population declines in many grassland bird species. Of greatest concern are bird species that are considered to be area sensitive. The Iowa State Preserve System is composed of tracts of prairies, wetlands, and woodlands that can provide habitat for many grassland bird species. This study provides an inve...
متن کاملTesting the importance of patch scale on forest birds
The relationship between population density and habitat area is of central importance to conservation biology, particularly for species dependent on declining habitat. A recent study by Lee et al. in Oikos in 2002 found that the densities of three forest interior bird species (ovenbirds, wood thrushes, and red-eyed vireos) decline with increasing patch size, contradicting many other studies tha...
متن کاملPatterns of Area Sensitivity in Grassland-Nesting Birds
Between 1995 and 1997, we studied breeding birds in fragments of native tallgrass prairie in southwestern Missouri to determine the effect of habitat fragmentation on grassland bird populations. Data on density and nesting success collected in 13 prairie fragments of various sizes revealed three levels of area sensitivity. The most area-sensitive species, Greater Prairie-Chicken ( Tympanuchus c...
