• Perennial biomass feedstocks enhance avian diversity (2011, background): “Various authors have examined how focal species respond to patch size and habitat features at different spatial scales and have found that only some species appear to respond positively to habitat area, while others are more restricted by habitat structure or the composition of the surrounding lands”
• MIXED-GRASS PRAIRIE PASSERINES EXHIBIT WEAK AND VARIABLE RESPONSES TO PATCH SIZE (2006, background): “Some species appear to be infl uenced more by local vegetation characteristics within the patch (Davis 2004) or by encroaching vegetation along the periphery of the patch (Johnson and Igl 2001) than by factors at larger spatial scales (Knick and Rotenberry 1995).”
• Multi-scale models of grassland passerine abundance in a fragmented system in Wisconsin (2008, background): “Within our study, core area (macrohabitat) was consistently important, and our results concur with studies that found higher grassland bird densities on larger patches (e.g., Herkert 1994a, b; Bakker et al. 2002; Davis 2004).”
• Conservation of Grassland Birds in North America: Understanding Ecological Processes in Different Regions: "Report of the AOU Committee on Conservation" (2007, background): “%) of native grassland is still intact (Gauthier and Wiken 2003); the proportion remaining varies among provinces (Alberta, 43%; Saskatchewan, 24%; Manitoba, 21”
