The avian scavenger crisis: Looming extinctions, trophic cascades, and loss of critical ecosystem functions (2016, background): “Birdbase was compiled from an extensive literature survey of 248 sources initially (Şekercioğlu et al., 2004), is updated regularly with new publications (current version updated December 2015), and has been used in numerous global meta-analyses of bird populations (e.g. Şekercioğlu, 2012).”
Bird functional diversity enhances insectivory at forest edges: a transcontinental experiment (2014, background): “Maintaining semi-natural patches of native forests and grass–shrubland habitats in commercial production landscapes allows building a bridge between biodiversity conservation and function (Fischer et al., 2007; Flynn et al., 2009; Sekercioglu, 2012).”
A global analysis of traits predicting species sensitivity to habitat fragmentation (2017, methodology): “We obtained avian life-history data from Bird Life International (2013) and Sekercioglu (2012), with additions from the Handbook of the Birds of the World series (Del Hoyo et al., 2011).”
Global raptor research and conservation priorities: Tropical raptors fall prey to knowledge gaps (2019, methodology): “To answer these questions, we used a large global database of avian ecological traits (Şekercioğlu, 2012a), combined with extrinsic fac‐ tors, to model drivers of extinction risk and scientific attention on raptors.”
Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation (2014, background): “…of understanding anthropogenic effects on the function of forest ecosystems has been highlighted by numerous studies (e.g. Van Nouhyus, 2005; Sekercioglu, 2012; Newbold et al., 2013), few generalities have emerged about the impacts of fragmentation on different functional groups of…”
Optimizing land use decision-making to sustain Brazilian agricultural profits, biodiversity and ecosystem services (2016, background): “For BD, landscape planning is predicted to benefit bird and mammal groups that are threatened globally by habitat conversion: larger-bodied species, habitat and dietary specialists, endemic species, and species of conservation concern (Davidson et al., 2009; Sekercioğlu, 2012).”
Avian pest control in vineyards is driven by interactions between bird functional diversity and landscape heterogeneity (2017, background): “The future of bird-induced services in agroecosystems is clearly a major conservation challenge under current global change (Wenny et al. 2011; Sekercioglu 2012).”
Using opportunistic citizen science data to estimate avian population trends (2018, neutral): “Ecological data came from a global bird ecology database covering all the bird species of the world (see Şekercioğlu, 2012b) and updated with recent information (del Hoyo et al., 2017).”
