The tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor, TUTI) is a nuclear species in winter foraging flocks whose antipredator calls are used to manage predation risk by diverse heterospecifics. We hypothesized that satellite species in mixed flocks follow TUTI (n

Collisions with buildings cause up to 1 billion bird fatalities annually in the United States and Canada. However, efforts to reduce collisions would benefit from studies conducted at large spatial scales across multiple study sites with standardized

Characteristics of buildings and land cover surrounding buildings influence the number of bird-window collisions, yet little is known about whether bird-window collisions are associated with urbanization at large spatial scales. We initiated a contin

We examined the initial response of avian nest success to mechanical thinning, prescribed fire, and thinning/ prescribed fire combination treatments, designed to reduce fuel loads, at study sites throughout the continental USA as part of the National

We developed sampling methods to characterize the participation of bird species in foraging flocks led by the Eastern Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) in North-central Florida during winter, because standard field methods, developed primarily for

Scatter-hoarding rodents should space food caches to maximize cache recovery rate (to minimize loss to pilferers) relative to the energetic cost of carrying food items greater distances. Optimization models of cache spacing make two predictions. Firs

Pishing is a term used for the “psshh” noise made by bird watchers to elicit close approaches by small birds. Pishing usually attracts multiple species when used in Holarctic habitats, but it produces limited responses in other regions. We propos

Rodents selectively cache acorns of red oak species (subgenus Erythrobalanus; RO) over those of white oaks (subgenus Quercus; WO) because of perishability of early-germinating WO acorns. On occasion, at least three species of tree squirrels also will

We report the first records of Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) raised to fledging by Bachman's Sparrow (Aimophila aestivalis). Records are based on field observations of parasitized sparrow nests monitored during two separate avian reproductiv
