A comparison of the ecology and population dynamics of a neotropical migrant landbird, the hooded warbler, in winter and summer
Abstract
dc:descriptionA 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 overwintering season in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The purpose of my study was to identify the factors limiting population growth in both winter and summer, and to examine the role of disturbance in habitat use and quality.
