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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
