New software for quantifying incubation behavior from time-series recordings

Journal of Field Ornithology, 76(4), 352–356.

By: C. Cooper* & H. Mills*

author keywords: automated analysis; data logger; incubation rhythm; Raven; The Birdhouse Network
TL;DR: The software program, called Rhythm, works in conjunction with Raven, a bioacoustical analysis program, to partially automate the measurement of incubation off-bout duration and related statistics such as percent constancy. (via Semantic Scholar)

Seasonal and Latitudinal Trends in Clutch Size: Thermal Constraints During Laying and Incubation

Ecology, 86(8), 2018–2031.

By: C. Cooper*, W. Hochachka*, G. Butcher* & A. Dhondt*

author keywords: clutch size variation; Cornell Nest Record Program; critical temperatures; egg viability; hatching failure; incubation period; latitude gradients; onset of incubation; seasonal constraints
TL;DR: Using general linear mixed models, it is found that large-scale nesting patterns of Eastern Bluebirds and Red-winged Blackbirds are consistent with the egg-viability hypothesis in that females appear to initiate incubation before clutch completion when they lay large clutches at low latitudes.

Effects of remnant size and connectivity on the response of Brown Treecreepers to habitat fragmentation

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 102(3), 249–256.

By: C. Cooper*, J. Walters* & H. Ford*

TL;DR: It is concluded that remnant connectivity influences dispersal success of Brown Treecreepers, with dispersal being disrupted when remnants are unconnected, and isolation-sensitivity is the primary basis of the species’ sensitivity to habitat fragmentation. (via Semantic Scholar)

Experimental Evidence of Disrupted Dispersal Causing Decline of an Australian Passerine in Fragmented Habitat

Conservation Biology, 16(2), 471–478.

By: C. Cooper* & J. Walters*

TL;DR: It is concluded that patch isolation is responsible for the high proportion of unpaired males in fragmented habitat in Brown Treecreeper, although degradation likely played a role in the past at a regional scale. (via Semantic Scholar)

LANDSCAPE PATTERNS AND DISPERSAL SUCCESS: SIMULATED POPULATION DYNAMICS IN THE BROWN TREECREEPER

Ecological Applications, 12(6), 1576–1587.

By: C. Cooper*, J. Walters* & J. Priddy

TL;DR: For this cooperative breeder, where territories become clumped due to a high rate of territorial budding, matrix habitats continue to influence overall population performance, and conservation efforts must address the quality of the matrix habitats as well as the configuration of remaining habitat.

By: J. Walters n, H. Ford* & C. Cooper*

author keywords: habitat fragmentation; eucalyptus woodland; demography; foraging; dispersal
TL;DR: The authors' data support disrupted dispersal as a likely explanation for the decline of brown treecreepers in fragmented habitat, but can not rule out forms of habitat degradation other than reduced food availability. (via Semantic Scholar)
