Radio-transmitters and light-level geolocators are currently small enough for use on
songbirds weighing< 15 g. Various methods are used to attach these markers to larger …

The post-fledging period remains one of the most understudied portions of the avian
lifecycle despite the fact that fledglings require resources distinct from those used during …

Migration is a common behavior used by animals of many taxa to occupy different habitats
during different periods [1]. Migrant birds are categorized as either facultative (ie, those that …

In this penultimate chapter, we examine new perspectives on ecology of Golden-winged
Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera), review primary population-level threats, and offer …

One of the most commonly estimated parameters in studies of songbird ecology is
reproductive success, as a measure of either individual fitness or population productivity …

The fitness consequence of maternal nest‐site choice has attracted increasing scientific
attention, but field studies identifying the long‐term effects of nest‐site choice on offspring …

Postfledging habitat use and fledgling survival remain unstudied for most songbirds, but this
period is critical for understanding breeding habitat associations and full-season …

In oviparous animals, nest-site choice is both a critical determinant of an individual's lifetime
fitness, and an important demographic parameter of populations. At the individual level, the …

Effective habitat management requires understanding habitat needs across a species' life
history stages. In songbirds, management of breeding habitat is generally focused on the …

Among shrubland-and young forest-nesting bird species in North America, Golden-winged
Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera) are one of the most rapidly declining partly because of …
