Differential avian extinction from Barro Colorado Island, Panama: Nest predation and population genetic factors

On Barro Colorado Island (BCI), a 1500 ha forest preserve in Gatun Lake (part of the Panama Canal) that has been isolated form mainland forest for 75 years, eight species of birds in the terrestrial insectivore guild have gone extinct, one is declining, and 3 persist. I evaluated two alternative hypotheses to explain differential BCI extinctions among these bird species.
