Dynamics in Subdivided Populations of Neotropical Migratory Birds in a Fragmented Temperate Forest (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of four Neotropical migratory bird species in a fragmented temperate forest and examines the mechanisms through which they resettle in their breeding ranges. Various hypotheses on the mechanisms of spring resettlement are tested against observations of local extinctions and recolonizations, using computer simulations to compare expected and observed patterns. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for modeling species responses to habitat fragmentation.
