Painted Bunting Breeding Bird Survey trends associated with landscape changes in Georgia and South Carolina
J.M. Meyers
2000, Book chapter, Living on the Edge -- Birds 2000: Abstracts
Landscape changes during the first 3 decades of the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) may account for the Painted Bunting's declining population trend. In the southeastern U.S., it is estimated that this bunting has declined 3.5 % per year since 1966. I collected landscape data centered on identical 5-stop areas...
Camping impact management at Isle Royale National Park: an evaluation of visitor activity containment policies from the perspective of social conditions
T. A. Farrell, J. L. Marion
2000, Book chapter, Proceedings: Wilderness Science in a Time of Change, May 23-27, 1999, Missoula, MT. Vol. 5, Wilderness ecosystems, threats, and management
A survey of backcountry and wilderness campsites at Isle Royale National Park reveals that the park?s policies for managing visitor impacts have been remarkably effective in limiting the areal extent of camping-related disturbance. However, the dense spatial arrangement of designated campsites within backcountry campgrounds has also contributed to problems with...
Single paternity of clutches in American Woodcock
H. Ziel, D.G. McAuley, J.M. Rhymer
2000, Book chapter, Living on the Edge -- Birds 2000: Abstracts
Based on behavioral observations, the mating system of American Woodcock has been variously described as monogamous, a dispersed lek, or resource defense polygyny. Males perform elaborate mating displays that attract females to their display sites where copulations occur. We used microsatellite markers, developed for Ruffs (Philomachus pugnax), to...

The temporal and geographic patterns in the population trends of Brown-headed Cowbirds are summarized from the North American Breeding Bird Survey. During 1966-1992, the survey-wide population declined significantly, a result of declining populations in the Eastern BBS Region, southern Great Plains, and the Pacific coast states. Increasing populations were...

2000, Book chapter, Status and conservation of West Indian seabirds
The advantages and disadvantages of fixed-wing, helicopter, photographic, vidoegraphic, and ground-count methods of surveying and censusing seabirds are described and compared. Critical terminology is distinguished, and use of small helicopters with multiple, trained observers is firmly recommended for work with diurnal, non-burrow-nesting seabirds in the West Indies and elsewhere....

Recreation impacts and management in wilderness: A state-of-knowledge review
Y.-F. Leung, J. L. Marion
2000, Book chapter, Proceedings: Wilderness Science in a Time of Change, May 23-27, 1999, Missoula, MT. Vol. 5, Wilderness ecosystems, threats, and management
This paper reviews the body of literature on recreation resource impacts and their management in the United States, with a primary focus on research within designated wildernesses during the past 15 years since the previous review (Cole 1987b). Recreation impacts have become a salient issue among wilderness scientists, managers...
Landscape associations of frog and toad species in Iowa and Wisconsin, U.S.A

Landscape habitat associations of frogs and toads in Iowa and Wisconsin were tested to determine whether they support or refute previous general habitat classifications. We examined which Midwestern species shared similar habitats to see if these associations were consistent across large geographic areas (states). Rana sylvatica (wood frog),...

Informed management requires information about system state and about effects of potential management actions on system state. Population monitoring can provide the needed information about system state, as well as information that can be used to investigate effects of management actions. Three methods for investigating effects of management...
Managing wetlands for waterbirds: How managers can make a difference in improving habitat to support a North American Bird Conservation Plan

Wetlands are the most productive ecosystems in the world, yet they have suffered more loss and degradation than any other ecosystem. Not surprisingly, 50% (29 of 58) of all the bird species in the U. S. (excluding Hawaii and territories) that are listed either as federally threatened or endangered,...
Population and habitat assessment: Monitoring bird populations over large areas: Introduction

Monitoring provides essential information about status and change in bird populations. For Neotropical Migrant Birds (NTMBs), the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) has been particularly influential in documenting regional population change and often is cited as justification for management actions. However, as with most bird surveys, the...
