Threats to Avifauna on Oceanic Islands
Conservation Biology, 2006Abstract: Results of the study by of avifauna on oceanic islands suggest that distance from the mainland and time since European colonization have major influences on species extinctions and that island area is a significant but secondary contributing factor. After augmenting the data of the

Vögel in Kunst und Literatur - spannende Begegnungen. Ob es sich beim Gesang der Vögel um eine Form von »Naturmusik« oder gar um eine Sprache handelt, wird aktuell in verschiedenen naturtheoretischen, philosophischen, zoomusikologischen und von den animal studies inspirierten Kontexten diskutiert.

Enhancing Avifauna in Commercial Plantations
Conservation Biology, 2010Abstract: The occurrence of fauna in commercial plantations is often associated with structural complexity. Through a meta‐analysis, we tested whether the structural complexity of plantations could enhance bird species assemblages and whether bird assemblages respond differently depending on taxonomic ...

Hyper-arid, arid and semi-arid ecosystems are characterised by low and unpredictable annual rainfall (Noy-Meir 1973), and by marked variability of all communities in time and space (Polis 1991). Resource peaks are unpredictable in time and space, and unpredictable in quality and quantity.

The Avifauna of the Kerguelen Islands
Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1989The status of the 35 bird species breeding on the Kerguelen Islands in the south-western Indian Ocean is reviewed in view of recent discoveries and censuses made between 1984 and 1987. Aspects of the breeding biology of most of the species are described, together with weights and measures for 17 species for which data were previously scarce or ...

Pleistocene Avifaunas and the Overkill Hypothesis
Science, 1977At the end of the North American Pleistocene, birds and mammals suffered comparable degrees of generic extinction. Both the magnitude and pattern of avian extinction are incompatible with the hypothesis that humans played a major role in causing the demise of numerous North American mammalian genera at this time.

Density compensation in island avifaunas
Oecologia, 1980This paper analyzes factors which determine the extent of density compensation on islands; i.e., is the summed population density of all species on an island equal to the summed mainland density? A graphical analysis allows quantitative comparisons of density compensation studies.

Prioritising Avifauna Conservation
Australasian Journal of Environmental Management, 2000How should bird conservation efforts be prioritised? This article reviews two approaches—the Collar et al. (1994) global study of threatened bird species and Garnett's (1992b) analysis for Australia. Each of these studies uses IUCN ‘extinction risk threshold’ criteria to derive conservation ‘hotspots’ where effort should be concentrated.
