A winter distribution model for Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli), a conservation tool for a threatened migratory songbird
McFarland, Kent P.; Rimmer, Christopher C.; Goetz, James E.; Aubry, Yves; Wunderle, Joseph M.; Sutton, Anne; Townsend, Jason M.; Llanes Sosa, Alejandro; Kirkconnell, Arturo (2013)Conservation planning and implementation require identifying pertinent habitats and locations where protection and management may improve viability of targeted species. The winter range of Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus ... -
Additional notes on the wintering status of Swainson's Warbler in the Dominican Republic
Rimmer, Christopher C.; Almonte, Jesús (2001)[English] We report the third and fourth records of Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) from Hispaniola. All four records have involved mist-netted birds in montane broadleaf forests of Sierra de Bahoruco in the ... -
Ancient differentiation in the single-island avian radiation of endemic Hispaniolan chat-tanagers (Aves: Calyptophilus)
Townsend, Andrea K.; Rimmer, Christopher C.; Latta, Steven C.; Lovette, Irby J. (2007)The simple geographic structure of island systems often makes them tractable for studies of the patterns and processes of biological diversification. The Calyptophilus chat-tanagers of Hispaniola are of general evolutionary ... -
Apparent survival of a range-restricted montane forest bird species is influenced by weather throughout the annual cycle
Hill, Jason M.; Lloyd, John D.; McFarland, Kent P.; Rimmer, Christopher C. (2019)[English] To conserve small and fragmented populations, we need an understanding of their population dynamics. With a global population estimate of < 120,000, Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli) is considered one of the ... -
Assessing conservation status of resident and migrant birds on Hispaniola with mist-netting
Lloyd, John D.; Rimmer, Christopher C.; McFarland, Kent P. (2016)We analyzed temporal trends in mist-net capture rates of resident (n = 8) and overwintering Nearctic-Neotropical migrant (n = 3) bird species at two sites in montane broadleaf forest of the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican ... -
Avian diversity, abundance, and conservation status in the Macaya Biosphere Reserve of Haiti
Rimmer, Christopher C.; Townsend, Jason M.; Townsend, Andrea K.; Fernández, Eladio; Almonte, Jesús (2005)[English] We surveyed the montane forest bird community at two sites in the Macaya Biosphere Reserve, Haiti during 7 to 14 February 2004. We recorded 37 species of birds among 234 mist-net captures, 121 point count ... -
Bird records in a montane forest fragment of Western Sierra de Neiba, Dominican Republic
Rimmer, Christopher C.; Almonte M., Jesús; Garrido G., Esteban; Mejía, Danilo A.; Milagros P., María; Wieczoreck, Paul R. (2003)Abstract: We surveyed the montane forest bird community at 18001900 m elevation in western Sierra de Neiba, Dominican Republic during 68 February 2003. We documented a total of 36 species, of which 18 were recorded on point ... -
Lincoln’s Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii) : new record for the Dominican Republic
Ortiz, Robert; Rimmer, Christopher C.; Askansas, Hubert; Mota, Iván (2012)[English] On 8 and 9 November 2010, during ornithological field research in montane forests of Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, Dominican Republic at 1800 m elevation, we observed and photographed a Lincoln’s Sparrow ... -
Linking breeding and wintering grounds of Bicknell's Thrushes using stable isotope analyses of feathers
Hobson, Keith A.; McFarland, Kent P.; Wassenaar, Leonard I.; Rimmer, Christopher C.; Goetz, James E. (2001)Previous studies have shown that natural abundance of deuterium (D), and to a lesser extent, in feathers of migrant songbirds in North America can be used to infer geographic origins of molt. We used that approach to ... -
Modeling spatial variation in winter abundance to direct conservation actions for a vulnerable migratory songbird, the Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus bicknelli)
McFarland, Kent; Lloyd, John D.; Frey, Sarah J. K.; Johnson, Patrick L.; Chandler, Richard B.; Rimmer, Christopher C. (2018)[English] The winter range of the Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus bicknelli), a globally vulnerable Nearctic–Neotropical migratory songbird, is restricted to the Greater Antilles. Most birds occur on Hispaniola, where the ... -
New winter distributional records for Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) in the Dominican Republic
Townsend, Jason M.; Rimmer, Christopher C.; Klavins, Juan; Townsend, Andrea K.; Cuevas Mendoza, Elvis (2014)Abstract: We document three new regions of occurrence for Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) in the Dominican Republic. We suggest that the species’ distribution and habitat selection on Hispaniola may be more ... -
Predation of a wintering migratory songbird by introduced rats : can nocturnal roosting behavior serve as predator avoidance?
Townsend, Jason M.; Rimmer, Christopher C.; Brocca, Jorge L.; McFarland, Kent P.; Townsend, Andrea K. (2009)Many studies have demonstrated the deleterious effects of introduced predators on resident populations of island birds, but few have quantified their effect on the survival and space-use behavior of migratory species. We ... -
Site fidelity of a wintering Swainson’s Warbler in the Dominican Republic
Rimmer, Christopher C.; Tietz, James R. (2000)We document between-winter philopatry of a Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothylpis swainsonii) from the Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, southwestern Dominican Republic. An individual, previously captured on 10 November 1997, ...
