Narrowness of habitat selection in woodland and grassland birds
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2019 Conservationists have long been concerned about population declines among both woodland and grassland birds, especially those that require extensive areas of a preferred habitat type and avoid mixed habitats.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Since in general the surrounding landscape influences the species diversity and abundance in fragments of native vegetation, an amount of native-vegetation cover nearby may also positively affect communities in restored areas, regardless of the sizes of ...

Evaluating interactive effects of the Conservation Reserve Program and wind energy infrastructure on grassland bird abundance in the United StatesEvaluating interactive effects of the Conservation Reserve Program and wind energy infrastructure on grassland bird abundance in the United States [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe extent of grasslands has contracted globally, leading to significant declines in grassland-obligate species, including birds. Grassland birds are threatened by multiple factors, including grassland conversion to cropland, and development, including ...

Survival of Postfledging Grassland Birds in Missouri [PDF]
The Condor, 2007 Abstract We describe survival patterns during the postfledging period for two species of grassland birds in Missouri. We monitored 155 radio-marked juvenile Dickcissels (Spiza americana) and 107 juvenile Eastern Meadowlarks (Sturnella magna; hereafter meadowlark) in southwestern Missouri, from 2002 to 2004.

Managing urban and rural rights-of-way as potential habitats for grassland birds
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017 Urban grassy rights-of-way (ROWs) such as along transmission lines could be managed cumulatively as collections of potential grassland habitats to contribute to the conservation of grassland birds.
