Fine-scale barriers to connectivity across a fragmented South-East Asian landscape in six songbird species
Published 2019“…We found a higher resilience to habitat fragmentation in edge‐tolerant and forest‐canopy species as compared to forest‐dependent understorey insectivores. The latter exhibited levels of genetic diversity up to three times lower in Singapore than in populations from contiguous forest elsewhere. …”

Low Incidence of Avian Predation on the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, <i>Halyomorpha halys</i> (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), in Southeastern Orchard Systems
Published 2023-07-01“…In many agroecosystems, brown marmorated stink bugs (<i>Halyomorpha halys</i>) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are polyphagous pests that cause significant economic losses to numerous crops every year. Insectivorous birds may provide a means of sustainable predation of invasive pests, such as <i>H. halys</i>. …”

The influence of weather and lemmings on spatiotemporal variation in the abundance of multiple avian guilds in the arctic.
Published 2014-01-01“…A warming climate can provide benefits to birds by decreasing spring snow cover, but increases in the frequency of summer rainstorms, another product of climate change, may reduce foraging opportunities for insectivorous birds. Cyclic lemming populations in the Arctic also influence bird abundance because Arctic foxes begin consuming bird eggs when lemmings decline. …”
