Evaluating Golden-winged Warbler use of alder and aspen communities managed with shearing in the western Great Lakes

Anna Buckardt Thomas et al.

Summary: Best management practices are important for guiding land managers and landowners in creating suitable wildlife habitats. This research evaluated the effect of shrub and sapling shearing on Golden-winged Warbler conservation. The study found that male warbler abundance was higher in sheared sites with 40% sapling cover, highlighting the importance of patch-level heterogeneity and pretreatment site assessments. The study supports a site-specific approach to maximize cost efficiency and desired species outcomes.

A meta-analysis of the effects of tree retention on shrubland birds

Michael E. Akresh et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis on the effects of tree retention on shrubland bird species, finding that the majority of shrubland birds exhibit monotonic declines in density with increasing tree retention, supporting the use of retention forestry approaches. The results provide managers and conservationists with robust, quantitative relationships to aid in detailed planning and evaluation of silvicultural projects.

Pollinator communities vary with vegetation structure and time since management within regenerating timber harvests of the Central Appalachian Mountains

Codey L. Mathis et al.

Summary: In regenerating timber harvest sites in Pennsylvania, the abundance of bees and butterflies is positively correlated with floral abundance and negatively correlated with dense vegetation. Pollinator species diversity is positively correlated with floral diversity and forb cover, and negatively correlated with tall sapling cover. The results suggest that regenerating timber harvests promote abundant and diverse pollinator communities in the Appalachian Mountains, but pollinator abundance declines quickly as woody stems regenerate.

Cross-scale habitat selection reveals within-stand structural requirements for fledgling Golden-winged Warblers

Cameron J. Fiss et al.

Summary: The post-fledging period is understudied but crucial for conservation efforts, with fledglings selecting areas with dense vegetation for habitat. Different stand types have varying microhabitat conditions preferred by fledgling Golden-winged Warblers.

Addressing the Early-Successional Habitat Needs of At-Risk Species on Privately Owned Lands in the Eastern United States

John A. Litvaitis et al.

Summary: In the U.S., public lands alone are insufficient to address the needs of most at-risk wildlife species, leading to the emergence of voluntary incentive programs to engage private landowners in conservation efforts. One such program, Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW), has shown significant potential in restoring and maintaining habitats for endangered species on private lands. Monitoring and adapting conservation efforts based on landowner motivations are crucial for long-term success in protecting at-risk wildlife species. Efforts like WLFW are evolving towards a more holistic ecosystem approach that embeds conservation goals within the broader landscape.
