Patch Size and Landscape Effects on Density and Nesting Success of Grassland Birds (2006, background): “…patches will always be better than small patches because 1) they preserve a larger number of individuals of a given species (Horn et al. 2001, Johnson 2001), 2) large prairie patches might support a less variable and thus less extinctionsusceptible local bird community (Boulinier et al.…”
Tree and shrub invasion in northern mixed-grass prairie: implications for breeding grassland birds (2004, background): “Bobolink and western meadowlark had higher predation rates, while clay-colored sparrow and western meadowlark had higher parasitism rates near woodland edge in tall-grass prairies (Johnson and Temple 1990; reanalyzed by Johnson 2001).”
INVITED PAPER: NORTH AMERICAN GRASSLAND BIRDS: AN UNFOLDING CONSERVATION CRISIS? (2005, background): “Johnson and Temple (1986) and Johnson (2001) found that small grassland fragments cannot support bird species that require large continuous habitats.”
