Decision rules for site fidelity in a migratory bird, the prothonotary warbler

JP Hoover - Ecology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
I studied 787 female and 510 male Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) breeding in
southern Illinois, USA, from 1994 to 2000 to test two competing hypotheses that may explain …

Identifying predators and fates of grassland passerine nests using miniature video cameras

PJ Pietz, DA Granfors - The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2000 - JSTOR
Nest fates, causes of nest failure, and identities of nest predators are difficult to determine for
grassland passerines. We developed a miniature video-camera system for use in …

The “edge effect on nest predation” hypothesis after twenty years

DC Lahti - Biological Conservation, 2001 - Elsevier
A majority of empirical tests have failed to support the hypothesis that avian nest predation
increases near habitat edges. Of 54 study sites, 13 exhibited an edge effect in any test …

Modeling the ecological trap hypothesis: a habitat and demographic analysis for migrant songbirds

TM Donovan, FR Thompson III - Ecological applications, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Most species occupy both high‐and low‐quality habitats throughout their ranges. As habitats
become modified through anthropogenic change, low‐quality habitat may become a more …

An assessment of invasion risk from assisted migration

JM Mueller, JJ Hellmann - Conservation biology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
To reduce the risk of extinction due to climate change, some ecologists have suggested
human‐aided translocation of species, or assisted migration (AM), to areas where climate is …

The frontline of avian brood parasite–host coevolution

WE Feeney, JA Welbergen, NE Langmore - Animal Behaviour, 2012 - Elsevier
The interactions between avian interspecific brood parasites and their hosts provide

Retaliatory mafia behavior by a parasitic cowbird favors host acceptance of parasitic eggs

JP Hoover, SK Robinson - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2007 - pnas.org
Why do many hosts accept costly avian brood parasitism even when parasitic eggs and
nestlings differ dramatically in appearance from their own? Scientists argue that evolutionary …
