Birds That Don't Exist: Niche Pre‐Emption as a Constraint on Morphological Evolution in the Passeroidea

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
We use topological data analysis to reveal a persistent morphological gap in a major group of songbirds (superfamily Passeroidea). The gap remained unoccupied for millions of years, even though nearby morphologies are common and the same body form exists in other groups of birds.

Grassland bird diversity and abundance in the presence of native and non-native grazers

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
Temperate grassland biomes are globally imperiled, and grassland birds are in precipitous decline as a result. The majority of North America's grassland birds breed on rangelands occupied by domestic cattle, but reintroductions of bison to restore ...

Exotic plants and other habitat characteristics do not impact Veery reproductive success at multiple spatial scales in northeastern Pennsylvania

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology
It is expected that birds have evolved nest site preferences that, on average, lead to positive fitness outcomes. It is possible, however, that mismatches occur between these preferences and reproductive success when a population experiences sudden ...
