Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “…islands and inside predator-proof fence enclosures on the mainland provide experimental opportunities to explore ecosystem function (Zavaleta et al. 2001; Donlan et al. 2002; Sekercioglu et al. 2004), especially (in a New Zealand setting) which and whether predators might limit bird populations.”
Population trends of European common birds are predicted by characteristics of their climatic niche (2010, background): “…services (Schwartz et al., 2000; Gaston & Fuller, 2008), so that identifying species-specific traits predicting their response to climate change is crucial in assessing the potential risks ecosystems are facing with the combined impacts of land-use and climate changes (Sekercioğlu et al., 2004).”
Integrating plant- and animal-based perspectives for more effective restoration of biodiversity (2016, background): “…their prey Moderate Predominant Ripple et al. ( 2014 ) 43 © The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org in restoration, including population dynamics, plant– animal interactions, and the roles of species in wider ecosystem function (Sekercioglu et al. 2004 ; Chadès et al. 2012 ).”
Fruit quantity of invasive shrubs predicts the abundance of common native avian frugivores in central Pennsylvania (2011, background): “Frugivore losses can affect pollination, gene flow and recruitment, thus affecting the long-term dynamics of plant communities, their self-organizing properties and their resilience by disrupting functional frugivory and seed dispersal networks (Cordeiro & Howe, 2003; Howe & Miriti, 2004; Şekercioğl”
Correlates of extinction proneness in tropical angiosperms (2008, background): “Animals that provide the ecosystem services of pollination and seed dispersal for plants (Sekercioglu et al., 2004) often suffer extinctions following habitat disturbance (Laurance, 1991; Castelletta et al., 2000; Koh & Sodhi, 2004; Koh et al., 2004b), and plants reliant on these extinct…”
Assessing species vulnerability to climate and land use change: the case of the Swiss breeding birds (2014, background): “Often, this requires the assessment of vulnerability of single species which make up an ecosystem and its services to humans (Midgley et al., 2002; Sekercioglu et al., 2004), and to identify regions where species might specifically become at risk (Beaumont et al., 2011).”
Roles of Raptors in a Changing World: From Flagships to Providers of Key Ecosystem Services (2016, background): “Avian scavengers as providers of supporting, regulating and cultural services Birds are an ideal study models in ecosystem services research (Şekercioğlu et al., 2004; Şekercioğlu, 2006; Whelan et al., 2008; Green and Elmberg, 2014).”
Direct Mortality of Birds from Anthropogenic Causes (2015, positive): “Birds in particular are experiencing precipitous population declines across the globe as a result of multiple anthropogenic stressors (Sekercioglu et al. 2004, IUCN 2014).”
