Post-fledging habitat use in a declining songbird [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Fledglings of many mature forest-dependent Neotropical songbirds move from mature forest habitats into areas of thick vegetation such as regenerating clearcuts.

Rusty Blackbird Habitat Selection and Survivorship during Nesting and Post-Fledging

Diversity, 2020
Rusty blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) populations have declined dramatically since the 1970s and the cause of decline is still unclear. As is the case for many passerines, most research on rusty blackbirds occurs during the nesting period. Nest success is

Sibling cooperation in boreal owls during the post-fledging dependence period [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Many vertebrates develop in the company of their siblings, a social context that profoundly influences their life histories and phenotypes.

Habitat use and characteristics of Connecticut Warbler during the nesting and post-fledging period

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023
Widespread declines in breeding bird populations have been documented across North America since the 1970s, and concerns about loss of avian biodiversity are growing.

Earlier hatching date rather than chick phenotypic quality enhances first-year survival in the black-headed gull [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology
Background Favourable conditions experienced during early ontogeny are expected to positively influence individual performance at later stages of the life cycle and determine lifetime fitness.

Differential post-fledging habitat use of Nearctic-Neotropical migratory birds within an urbanized landscape [PDF]

Movement Ecology, 2018
Background Persistent declines in migratory songbird populations continue to motivate research exploring contributing factors to inform conservation efforts. Nearctic-Neotropical migratory species’ population declines have been linked to habitat loss and

The effect of local and landscape-level characteristics on the abundance of forest birds in early-successional habitats during the post-fledging season in western Massachusetts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many species of mature forest-nesting birds ("forest birds") undergo a pronounced shift in habitat use during the post-fledging period and move from their forest nesting sites into areas of early-successional vegetation.

From fledging to independence: Post-fledging movements and space use of the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon)

Avian Research
The post-fledging period, extending from fledging to independence, is a crucial life stage characterized by high mortality due to fledglings' limited mobility and inexperience.

Post-fledging survival of Tengmalm’s owl offspring in boreal forests: Interactive effects of varying dynamics of main prey and habitat composition

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The knowledge about the mortality rate of offspring is crucial for estimating bird population dynamics and conserving species with declining populations.
