• A Synthesis of Human-related Avian Mortality in Canada (2013, background): “…and its population-level effects on Canada’s birds, is essential for directing management and conservation actions and for prioritizing future research directions (Loss et al. 2012); especially when considered in conjunction with indirect stressors such as habitat alteration and climate change.”
• How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “Predation of birds by cats is one of the largest human-related mortality factors for birds (Blancher, 2013; Loss et al., 2012, 2013, 2015).”
• Population impacts of free‐ranging domestic cats on mainland vertebrates (2017, background): “Yet, more subtle impacts are also possible, including suppression of abundance below carrying capacity (Loss et al. 2012) and alteration of demographic processes such as source–sink dynamics (Figure 2c).”
• Bird–building collisions in the United States: Estimates of annual mortality and species vulnerability (2014, methodology): “We used North American abundance rather than regional abundance because it is difficult to link study sites where mortality occurs to the affected regional subsets of bird populations, especially for species that are killed primarily during migration (Loss et al. 2012).”
• Direct Mortality of Birds from Anthropogenic Causes (2015, unknown): “Although local mortality estimates form the basis for upscaling analyses, a relatively small proportion of local studies are conducted with the rigor needed for data to be used in regional and national data syntheses (reviewed by Loss et al. 2012, 2014b,c).”
• Avian mortality at communication towers in the United States and Canada: which species, how many, and where? (2013, methodology): “Because we only use this weighting within geographic regions, it is not prone to the bias of geographic variations in species richness suggested by Loss et al. (2012).”
