Effects of non-native woody plant species on shrubland birds of conservation concern
Shrubland birds are among the fastest declining groups of birds over the past 50 years. Habitat loss and degradation are proposed as being major drivers, but the underlying causes of these declines are unknown. I investigated some of the potential factors driving population declines in three …

Practices combining fire and grazing in the Central U.S. reduce woody encroachment and accommodate grassland and shrubland birds
Temperate grasslands and shrublands are critically endangered ecosystems receiving almost no protection, as nearly 50% of their global area has been lost and less than 5% has been set aside in reserves. To further complicate matters, in many instances these are alternate states of the same system, …

Effects of climate and land management changes on conservation of Mediterranean Cork oak woodlands and their bird communities
… for tree-dependent forest species. Farmland and shrubland birds respond mainly to habitat features modified by land management and their abundances increase in areas with open and heterogeneous ground cover. Current abandonment, intensification and overexploitation trends are likely to have …
