Effects of Hurricane Disturbance on the Stopover Ecology of Intercontinental Landbird Migrants in Coastal Louisiana
<p>Few studies have considered the impact of weather events on migratory birds during stopover, and essentially none on how hurricanes affect their stopover biology during spring passage. About two thirds of eastern North American forest breeding bird species migrate twice annually between …

Assessment of Factors Influencing Migratory Landbird Use of Forested Stopover Sites Along the Delmarva Peninsula During Autumn Migration
… survival of the hundreds of species of migratory landbirds that migrate annually, and thus identifying important stopover sites is a high priority for conserving such taxa. The Delmarva Peninsula; a coastal region of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia along the mid-Atlantic flyway; consists of …

A comparison of the ecology and population dynamics of a neotropical migrant landbird, the hooded warbler, in winter and summer
A central question in the study of avian ecology is to determine where and how migrant bird populations are limited. I studied the habitat selection, foraging ecology, and population dynamics of the Hooded Warbler (Wilsonia citrina) during the breeding season in Maryland, USA, and during the …

Spring Landbird Migration along the Northern Coast of the Gulf of Mexico: Multi-Scaled Investigation of Stopover Ecology Within an Urbanized Landscape
… forests further inland.</p> <p>To investigate landbird migrant stopover ecology immediately along the coast, I measured behavioral and physiological responses of migrants to human-dominated landscapes as stopover sites along the Mississippi Gulf coast by quantifying migrant densities, …

Migration Plasticity as an Adaptation to Climate Change: The Spatial Distribution and Abundance of a Subset of Neotropical Migrant Landbirds Wintering in the Northeastern United States
… December presence of seven neotropical migrant landbirds near the northern edge of their winter ranges. CBC data and historical weather data from the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) were analyzed to confirm the northward shift in average abundance over time among species near the …

Habitat use by wintering passerines in fire-managed forests along the U.S. Gulf Coast
… classes. My results provide a description of the landbird habitat use in the different available habitats of the Naval Like Oaks area of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, and suggest that fire-based management will help to maintain the current bird community structure. The current mosaic of …
