Irruptive Migration of Chestnut-Backed Chickadees to Southwestern Idaho
i document irruptive movements of the Chestnut-backed Chickadee to lucky Peak in southwestern idaho, over 80 km from its regular range. Chestnutbacked Chickadees were captured and/or observed at lucky Peak in 2000, 2004, and 2008. To evaluate the context for this phenomenon, i also examined data on capture of all chickadees and other irruptive species at lucky Peak and numbers of irruptive spec...
متن کاملتأثیر اندازه و شکل لکههای درختزار بر غنا و تنوع گونهای پرندگان در منطقه حفاظت شده کرکس
Determining landscape parameters influencing species richness of habitat patches is one of the most important issues in conservation biology. Many previous studies have investigated the influence of habitat parameters on bird assemblages in forest patches, but studies seeking effects of oasis parameters on bird assemblages are very scarce. Karkas Protected Area is located in semi-arid zone in...
متن کاملDistribution Modeling of Foraging Habitats for Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) in Kermanshah Province, Iran
The Egyptian vulture, Neophron percnopterus, as a globally endangered species, is significantly affected by conflicts with human, leading to the decline of this species population. Availability of food resources is known as one of the most important factors affecting the distribution of the Egyptian vulture. In this study, we employed an ensemble modelling approach to predict the suitability o...
متن کاملUnderstorey bird responses to the edge-interior gradient in an isolated tropical rainforest of Malaysia
Forest fragmentation results in a loss of forest interior and an increase in edge habitat. We studied how understorey bird community composition and habitat variables changed along an edge-to-interior gradient in a 1248-ha lowland rainforest patch in peninsular Malaysia. Birds and environmental variables such as vegetation structure and litter depth were detected within a 25-m radius of each of...
متن کاملGeographic range size and extinction risk assessment in nomadic species
Geographic range size is often conceptualized as a fixed attribute of a species and treated as such for the purposes of quantification of extinction risk; species occupying smaller geographic ranges are assumed to have a higher risk of extinction, all else being equal. However many species are mobile, and their movements range from relatively predictable to-and-fro migrations to complex irregul...
