Cody M. Kent, Auteur ; Kyu Min Huh, Auteur ; Sarah Chieko Hunter, Auteur ; Kathryn Judson, Auteur ; Luke L. Powell, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurAlthough both interspecific competition and coexistence mechanisms are central to ecological and evolutionary theory, past empirical studies have generally focused on simple (two-species) communities over short time periods. Experimental tests o[...]![]()

Kristen M. Rosamond, Auteur ; Cody M. Kent, Auteur ; Sarah Chieko Hunter, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurNew World wood warblers (Parulidae) represent one of the most dramatic adaptive radiations in North America. However, the ecological bases for the morphological differences among these species remain poorly understood, especially considering how[...]![]()
Article
Cody M. Kent, Auteur ; Ashley M. Peele, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurTerrestrial arthropods are diverse, and quantifying their availability to consumers is important for understanding both consumer and insect distribution, abundance, and communities. However, characterizing arthropod communities in complex forest[...]![]()
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[...]![]()

Thomas W. Sherry, Auteur ; Matthew D. Johnson, Auteur ; Kelly A. Williams, Auteur ; Jordana D. Kaban, Auteur ; Caroline K. McAvoy, Auteur ; Amanda M. Hallauer, Auteur ; Shannon Rainey, Auteur ; Sen Xu, AuteurDiets reflect important ecological interactions, but are challenging to quantify for foliage-gleaning birds. We used regurgitated stomach samples from five primarily insectivorous species of long-distance migrant warblers (Parulidae) wintering i[...]![]()
Article
Bradley J. Bergstrom, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurTo assess regression models for lipid and lean body mass in small birds, we recorded live body mass +/- 0.1 g, total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC; from "third generation" TOBEC machine EM-SCAN (R) SA-3000) or E-Value, visual fat score (Vi[...]![]()
Article
Stefan Woltmann, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, Auteur ; Brian R. Kreiser, AuteurNatal dispersal is a fundamental component of the ecology and evolutionary history of birds, yet is often prohibitively difficult to study. We characterized natal dispersal for the first time in a bird using molecular genetic parentage analyses [...]![]()
Article
Thomas W. Sherry, Auteur ; Scott Wilson, Auteur ; Sarah Hunter, Auteur ; Richard T. Holmes, AuteurAlthough avian nesting success is much studied, little is known about the relative importance of the factors that contribute to annual reproductive success and population limitation, especially for long-distance migratory songbird species. We co[...]![]()
Article
Deborah M. Visco, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurUnderstory insectivorous birds often disappear from fragmented tropical rainforest landscapes before mechanisms such as increased rate of nest depredation can be evaluated. Here, we took advantage of chestnut-backed antbird (Myrmeciza exsul), a [...]![]()
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
Deborah M. Visco, Auteur ; Nicole L. Michel, Auteur ; W. Alice Boyle, Auteur ; Bryan J. Sigel, Auteur ; Stefan Woltmann, Auteur ; Thomas W. Sherry, AuteurTropical forest understory birds are declining globally for unknown reasons, indicating an urgent need to understand the causes. We review and synthesize studies investigating causes of these declines focusing on the Sarapiqui region of the Cari[...]
