Article
Madeleine D. Scott, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, AuteurLos tecolotes Glaucidium gnoma se encuentran en regiones montañosas del oeste de Norte America, pero sus movimientos y patrones de distribución estacionales son poco entendidos. Aunque se asume que son aves migratorias altitudinales, los datos q[...]
Article
Matthew R. Halley, Auteur ; Aaron L. Holmes, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, AuteurFacultative male incubation and allofeeding are thought to be behavioral adaptations by which male songbirds maximize their fitness by reducing the energetic stress of their mates. However, few data are available for most species that exhibit th[...]
Article
Bryan J. Sigel, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurHabitat loss and fragmentation reduce diversity of tropical bird communities, but the predictability of how communities in fragments disintegrate over time remains unclear. We compared bird community changes of two lowland forest reserves, La Se[...]
Article
Jennifer L. Goyette, Auteur ; Robert W. Howe, Auteur ; Amy T. Wolf, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, AuteurNocturnal bird assemblages are poorly known in most tropical locations, and information about their presence and behavior is often limited to the results of dawn or dusk surveys. We investigated the use of manual and automatic-detection methods [...]
Article
Suzanne H. Austin, Auteur ; Michaela Hau, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, AuteurTime required for avian embryos to develop is influenced by incubation temperature and the amount of time adults incubate eggs. Experiments on poultry indicate that photoacceleration, the light-induced stimulation of embryonic development, decre[...]
Article
Ana Ibarra-Macias, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, Auteur ; Michael S. Gaines, AuteurThe potential negative effects of forest fragmentation on animal movement and dispersal, and its consequences for population persistence, require an understanding of how modified landscapes affect movement decisions of forest species. We used a [...]
Article
W. Douglas Robinson, Auteur ; Suzanne H. Austin, Auteur ; Tara R. Robinson, Auteur ; Robert E. Ricklefs, AuteurGrowth of avian embryos depends on heat transferred from incubating parents. Parental behavior, including nest characteristics, can influence the length of the incubation period by varying the temperature of incubated eggs, the length of parenta[...]
Article
W. Douglas Robinson, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurEven large fragments of tropical forest lose bird species over time. The speed of disappearance and permanence of these losses depend on a variety of factors, but the pattern of species loss appears more universal. We still do not understand the[...]
Article
Jeffrey D. Brawn, Auteur ; GEORGE Angehr, Auteur ; Nicole Davros, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, Auteur ; Jennifer N. Styrsky, Auteur ; Corey E. Tarwater, AuteurSurvival of offspring is a key fitness component and, for birds, the threat of predation on nests is especially influential. Data on rates of nest success from tropical regions are comparatively few, conservation-relevant, and essential for asse[...]
Article
Daniel C. Donato, Auteur ; Joseph B. Fontaine, Auteur ; W. Douglas Robinson, Auteur ; J. Boone Kauffman, Auteur ; Beverly E. Law, Auteur1. Variations in disturbance regime strongly influence ecosystem structure and function. A prominent form of such variation is when multiple high-severity wildfires occur in rapid succession (i.e. short-interval (SI) severe fires, or 're-burns')[...]
