Total blood haemoglobin concentration is increasingly being used to assess physiological
condition in wild birds, although it has not been explicitly recognized how reliably this …

Loss of functional connectivity following habitat loss and fragmentation could drive species
declines. A comprehensive understanding of fragmentation effects on functional connectivity …

Understanding the effect of landscape configuration on the bird species richness and their
functional traits (dietary preferences) is important to link the conservation and restoration …

Landscape structure and configuration may affect bird body condition, with contrasting
effects on resident and migratory species. There is little empirical evidence to support this …

There is a longstanding debate regarding the need for ecology to develop consistent
terminology. On one hand, consistent terminology would aid in synthesizing results between …

Oxidative metabolism is a key component of organismal physiology and it is primarily
determined by aerobic capacity, which depends on the capacity of blood to carry oxygen …

Habitat loss and associated fragmentation are major drivers of biodiversity decline, and
understanding how they affect population processes (eg dispersal) is an important …

Context The decline of birds in farmland is of global concern. Aims The aim of this paper was
to provide a local-scale case study of the bird fauna of temperate inland eastern Australia's …

In patchy forest areas, the size of the forest patch where birds breed has a strong influence
on their breeding success. However, the proximate effects contributing to lowering the …

Both avian abundance and species richness decline in response to habitat loss and
fragmentation. Studying variation in bird song structure across modified landscapes can …
