Demography and site fidelity of a grassland bird, the Henslow's Sparrow, in powerline right-of-way habitat

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022
Grassland birds are among the fastest declining avian species in North America, primarily due to habitat loss. In the southeastern United States, much grassland and open savanna habitat has been converted to timber production or agriculture, neither of ...

Additionality in Grassland Easements to Provide Migratory Bird Habitat in the Northern Plains

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2017
Native grassland in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) is important habitat for migratory birds, particularly ducks. Much of this grassland is at risk for conversion to cropland. Permanent easements, managed by the U.S.

Effects of urbanisation and landscape heterogeneity mediated by feeding guild and body size in a community of coprophilous beetles [PDF]

, 2020
Although the impacts of urbanisation on biodiversity are well studied, the precise response of some invertebrate groups remains poorly known. Dung-associated beetles are little studied in an urban context, especially in temperate regions.

Conservation of grassland birds in North America: understanding ecological processes in different regions [PDF]

, 2007
Many species of birds that depend on grassland or savanna habitats have shown substantial overall population declines in North America. To understand the causes of these declines, we examined the habitat requirements of birds in six types of grassland in

Home ranges and hatching success of threatened Eurasian curlew in north-eastern Europe relates to habitat type: Natural vs. agricultural landscapes

Global Ecology and Conservation
Farmland birds are among the most threatened species in Europe, largely as a result of the intensification of agriculture leading to widespread biodiversity losses.

Bird community patterns in sub–Mediterranean pastures: the effects of shrub cover and grazing intensity

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011
Shrubs are widely considered a threat to grassland biodiversity. We investigated the effects of shrub cover and grazing intensity on bird communities in sub–Mediterranean pastures in Bulgaria.
