Conservation efforts are most effective when we have complete demographic information for
a species of concern. Nevertheless, fundamental gaps in our knowledge of demography still …

Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …

Migratory bird needs must be met during four phases of the year: breeding season, fall
migration, wintering, and spring migration; thus, management may be needed during all four …

As a result of changes in natural and anthropogenic disturbance regimes, the extent of early-
successional forest across much of eastern North American is near historic lows, and …

Patterns of habitat use by some passerines change after the young leave the nest, and thus
our understanding of habitat selection derived from counts of singing males earlier in the …

Habitat quality of a bird's breeding grounds has been typically evaluated by investigating
patterns in nesting success, whereas events that follow fledging have been largely ignored …

Although clearcuts traditionally have been regarded as detrimental to birds associated with
mature-forest, recent evidence suggests that during the post-breeding period regenerating …

Abstract In the United States, intensively managed forests (IMFs) comprise approximately
9%(27.9 million ha) of total forest area. These forests are primarily in highly productive areas …

Despite recent increases in the number of demographic studies of birds in urban
environments, the postfledging period remains poorly understood. Because novel ecological …

Recent studies have demonstrated that many birds of mature forests heavily use early-
successional habitat during the postbreeding period. Two frequently invoked hypotheses to …
