Bird-grassland associations in protected and non-protected areas in southern Brazil
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2017 Conversion of grasslands in other land uses is the main threat for grassland birds. We investigated habitat use by grassland birds in Permanent Preservation Areas surrounded by Eucalyptus plantation stands and non-protected grasslands (grazed native ...

Direct Effects of Cattle on Grassland Birds in Canada [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2014 Abstract Effects of grazing on grassland birds are generally thought to be indirect, through alteration of vegetation structure; however, livestock can also affect nest survival directly through trampling and other disturbances (e.g., livestock‐induced abandonment).

Using ecoacoustics metrices to track grassland bird richness across landscape gradients
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Ecoacoustics is an emerging field that allows inferences about biodiversity trends and ecosystem health. Several acoustic indices have been developed for fast, automated assessments of ecosystem condition and are often used to assess changes in species ...
