Changing Perceptions of Change: The Role of Scientists in Tamarix and River Management (2009, background): “Habitat complexity and landscape heterogeneity are clearly important: Fleishman et al. (2003) concluded that nonnative plant species (notably Tamarix) did not negatively affect bird species richness, provided the vegetation was structurally complex. van Riper et al. (2008) found a threshold…”
Tamarix as Habitat for Birds: Implications for Riparian Restoration in the Southwestern United States (2008, background): “…supports riparian breeding birds is replaced by nonriparian vegetation or by only a fractional amount of native riparian habitat, there may be a net loss of riparian habitat value (Shafroth et al. 2005) and possible local/regional loss of riparian birds (Fleishman et al. 2003; Walker 2006).”
Biological consequences of invasion by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) (2009, result): “Other comparisons of bird communities in invaded versus uninvaded wetlands have reported mixed results (Benoit and Askins 1999; Fleishman et al. 2003; Whitt et al. 1999).”
Relationships between bird species and tree species assemblages in forested habitats of eastern North America (2005, background): “For example, Fleishman et al. (2003) investigated bird assemblages in riparian forests in the American Southwest that were invaded, to various degrees, by the aggressive, exotic saltcedar (or tamarisk; Tamarix ramosissima).”
Comparative ecophysiology of Tamarix ramosissima and native trees in western U.S. riparian zones (2005, background): “Fleishman et al. (2003) conducted bird surveys along the Muddy River, a tributaryto the Virgin River in Nevada.”
Collapse of an avifauna: climate change appears to exacerbate habitat loss and degradation (2009, result): “Our results may foreshadow comparable impacts to other drying regions, such as western North America (Fleishman et al., 2003; Seager et al., 2007; Mac Nally et al., 2008).”
