How are rainforest birds faring in the Anthropocene? We use bird captures spanning> 35
years from 55 sites within a vast area of intact Amazonian rainforest to reveal reduced …

Avian insectivores of the tropical rainforest understory (“understory insectivores”) are
common, diverse, and often sensitive to disturbance of tropical forest, making them useful as …

Molt is an important avian life history event in which feathers are shed and replaced. The
timing, duration, seasonality, extent and pattern of molt follows certain strategies and this …

For decades, ecologists have studied fundamental questions of how Amazonian biodiversity
is maintained, and whether that diversity can persist following deforestation. The long history …

Inferences about species loss following habitat conversion are typically drawn from short-
term surveys, which cannot reconstruct long-term temporal dynamics of extinction and …

Many insectivorous birds of the tropical rainforest understory, particularly terrestrial species,
are prone to local extinctions in fragmented forests. We evaluated the hypothesis that …

The energetically challenging periods of molting and breeding are usually temporally
separated in temperate birds, but can occur simultaneously in tropical birds, a condition …

Although it has long been recognized that many tropical birds do not share the same narrow
breeding periods as temperate birds, conventional thinking considers tropical breeding …

Avian diversity in fragmented Amazonian landscapes depends on a balance between
extinction and colonization in cleared and disturbed areas. Regenerating forest facilitates …

Abstract Approximately 20% of the Brazilian Amazon has now been deforested, and the
Amazon is currently experiencing the highest rates of deforestation in a decade, leading to …
