Linking breeding and wintering grounds of Bicknell's Thrushes using stable isotope analyses of feathers
(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 ...
A winter distribution model for Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli), a conservation tool for a threatened migratory songbird
(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 ...
Assessing conservation status of resident and migrant birds on Hispaniola with mist-netting
(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 ...
Ancient differentiation in the single-island avian radiation of endemic Hispaniolan chat-tanagers (Aves: Calyptophilus)
(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 ...
Additional notes on the wintering status of Swainson's Warbler in the Dominican Republic
(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 ...
Modeling spatial variation in winter abundance to direct conservation actions for a vulnerable migratory songbird, the Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus bicknelli)
(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 ...
Avian diversity, abundance, and conservation status in the Macaya Biosphere Reserve of Haiti
(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
(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 ...
Lincoln’s Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii) : new record for the Dominican Republic
(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 ...
Bird records in a montane forest fragment of Western Sierra de Neiba, Dominican Republic
(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 ...
