Degradation, fragmentation, and loss of native sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) landscapes have
imperiled these habitats and their associated avifauna. Historically, this vast piece of the …

Over the last two centuries overhunting, anthropogenic barriers and habitat loss have
disrupted many ungulate migrations. We review the literature on ungulate migration …

It is argued that the problem of pattern and scale is the central problem in ecology, unifying
population biology and ecosystems science, and marrying basic and applied ecology …

Acts in what Hutchinson (1965) has called the'ecological theatre'are played out on various
scales of space and time. To understand the drama, we must view it on the appropriate …

Global climate change is expected to affect temperature and precipitation patterns, oceanic
and atmospheric circulation, rate of rising sea level, and the frequency, intensity, timing, and …

Recognition and analysis of spatial autocorrelation has defined a new paradigm in ecology.
Attention to spatial pattern can lead to insights that would have been otherwise overlooked …

Human—caused fragmentation of forests is increasing, yet the consequences of these
landscape changes to vertebrate communities are poorly understood. Although bird …

While the tendency to return to previously visited locations—termed 'site fidelity'—is common
in animals, the cause of this behaviour is not well understood. One hypothesis is that site …

Understanding the effects of scale is essential to the understanding of natural ecosystems,
particularly in marine environments where sampling is more limited and sporadic than in …

Understanding the processes that underlie how birds select and use habitats depends on an
accurate representation of the patterns of habitat occupancy. These patterns are sensitive to …
