Ecosystem recharge by volcanic dust drives broad-scale variation in bird abundance [PDF]

, 2015
Across the globe, deserts and volcanic eruptions produce large volumes of atmospheric dust, and the amount of dust is predicted to increase with global warming.

Modeling effects of crop production, energy development and conservation-grassland loss on avian habitat.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Birds are essential components of most ecosystems and provide many services valued by society. However, many populations have undergone striking declines as their habitats have been lost or degraded by human activities.

Surveying Wildlife in the Chilterns [PDF]

, 2014
This guide grew out of a series of workshops for volunteers within the Chilterns Commons Project. It focuses on surveying wildlife on particular sites, such as the Chiltern commons, rather than surveying across the wider landscape, but we hope that the ...

Using geographic information systems and remote sensing technique to classify land cover types and predict grassland bird abundance and distribution in Nairobi National Park, Kenya

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks
Accurate and high-resolution mapping of land cover is essential for modeling species response, guiding habitat management practices, and prioritizing conservation efforts, especially in restricted and remote areas.

Three grassland bird species’ responses to fire and habitat structure in southern Illinois, USA suggest broad benefits of grassland size and plant diversity

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023
Grassland birds are the most rapidly declining bird guild in North America, largely due to extensive habitat loss and fragmentation. Because many grassland bird species have different habitat preferences, managing grasslands to provide habitat for a ...

Natural grazing by horses and cattle promotes bird diversity in a restored European alluvial grassland [PDF]

PeerJ
Context A challenge in grassland conservation is to maintain both the openness and the heterogeneity of the habitat to support the diversity of their animal communities, including birds—a taxon that is known to be sensitive to disturbance.

Testing the delivery of conservation schemes for farmland birds at the farm-scale during winter, in Southern lowland England

, 2013
Many farmland bird species across Europe have continued to show population declines since the 1970s, as a result of agricultural intensification. A large number of conservation schemes and initiatives have emerged from Government and the food industry ...

Weather influenced nestling growth of an insectivorous but not a granivorous grassland passerine in Argentina

Avian Research
Nestling growth of birds can be affected by weather fluctuations. In general, it is expected that higher temperatures favor growth by improving food availability and nestling metabolism, while rain hinders it by reducing foraging efficiency.

Predicting the distribution and abundance of bustards, storks, and harriers in Kenya using citizen science data

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Citizen science has the potential to advance scientific knowledge by producing large datasets from diverse landscapes. The Kenya Bird Map (KBM) has collected a large data set on Kenyan birds, yet it is largely untapped for scientific research. This study
