[HTML][HTML] Persistence of methodological, taxonomical, and geographical bias in assessments of species' vulnerability to climate change: A review

C de los Ríos, JEM Watson, N Butt - Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018 - Elsevier
Species' vulnerability to climate change has become a well-researched field in recent years:
between 2000 and 2016, at least 743 articles reporting climate change vulnerability were …

The role of habitat in avian community composition: physiognomy or floristics?

JT Rotenberry - Oecologia, 1985 - Springer
It has been proposed that within rather broad habitat types the distribution and abundance of
bird species may be more closely associated with plant taxonomic composition than with the …

Bird community dynamics in a temperate deciduous forest: Long‐term trends at Hubbard Brook

RT Holmes, TW Sherry, FW Sturges - Ecological Monographs, 1986 - Wiley Online Library

temperate deciduous forest in New Hampshire, USA, were studied intensively during 16 …

The relationship of tropical bird communities to tree species composition and vegetation structure along an Andean elevational gradient

JE Jankowski, CL Merkord, WF Rios… - Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Understanding patterns of species turnover along environmental gradients and their
consistency across taxonomic groups is central to the study of biodiversity. We may expect …

The relationship between breeding bird density and vegetation volume

GS Mills, JB Dunning Jr, JM Bates - The Wilson Bulletin, 1991 - JSTOR
An index of total vegetation volume was strongly correlated with breeding bird density at 31
sites in four separate studies conducted in southwestern shrub and desert habitats between …

Relationships between bird species and tree species assemblages in forested habitats of eastern North America

PY Lee, JT Rotenberry - Journal of Biogeography, 2005 - Wiley Online Library

Foliage structure influences foraging of insectivorous forest birds: an experimental study

CJ Whelan - Ecology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Preferences for foraging in particular tree species have been well documented in a variety of
bird species, but underlying reasons remain little investigated. Understanding the causal …

Tree‐species preferences of foraging insectivorous birds: implications for floodplain forest restoration

AP Gabbe, SK Robinson, JD Brawn - Conservation Biology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
