Mortality of an adult Antillean Palm Swift (Tachornis phoenicobia) associated with Philornis sp. parasitism in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic
(2023)[English] The ecological importance of avian myiasis caused by fly (Diptera) larvae, especially in the genus Philornis, remains poorly understood. One major gap in our knowledge is which bird species experience such ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Predation of a wintering migratory songbird by introduced rats : can nocturnal roosting behavior serve as predator avoidance?
(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 ...
