Effects of patch-burn grazing on breeding density and territory size of Dickcissels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Ongoing habitat loss and intensification of management of remaining grasslands have led to large population declines of grassland songbirds in North America. As an alternative to intensive and homogeneous use of rangelands, ... -
Longevity records show that Upland Sandpipers are long-lived birds
(Journal article, 2020)The life-history traits of migratory waders are characterized by low reproductive rates, delayed maturity, and high survivorship (Myers et al. 1987, Sandercock 2003), which leads to low rates of maximum population growth. ... -
Predation, parasitism, and drought counteract the benefits of patch-burn grazing for the reproductive success of grassland songbirds
(Journal article, 2022)Intensification of livestock production has reduced heterogeneity in vegetative structure in managed grasslands, which has been linked to widespread declines in grassland songbird populations throughout North America. ... -
