Russian olive habitat along an arid river supports fewer bird species, functional groups and a different species composition relative to mixed vegetation habitats
2019, Journal of Arid EnvironmentsCitation Excerpt :During migration, birds may respond best to a mixture of native and tamarisk vegetation, suggesting a tamarisk threshold (van Riper et al., 2008). It is becoming increasing accepted that birds occupy tamarisk-dominated habitat (Hunter et al., 1988; Ellis, 1995; van Riper et al., 2008; Mahoney et al., 2017), but the relative value of tamarisk habitat continues to be debated (Dudley and Deloach, 2004; Sogge et al., 2008). Both tamarisk and Russian olive have been established in North America since the early 1800s, and co-occur in many areas, including the San Juan River, however tamarisk has received disproportionally more research attention.
Tama-risk? Avian responses to the invasion of saltcedars (Tamarix ramosissima) in Sonora, Mexico
2013, Revista Mexicana de BiodiversidadRestoring habitat for riparian birds in the lower Colorado River watershed: An example from the Las Vegas Wash, Nevada
2011, Journal of Arid EnvironmentsCitation Excerpt :Detecting a bird within an environment provides only limited information and few studies have examined how breeding in different riparian environments actually affects bird survivorship and productivity (e.g., Sogge et al., 2008). In the present study, neither landscape type provided large, old trees and this may explain the near absence of certain species such as ‘timber drillers’ (woodpeckers) and habitat specialists such as summer tanager (Piranga rubra) which are associated with cottonwood-dominated riparian areas in other systems (Ellis, 1995). The association of environmental variables with bird assemblages seemed complex, with forb and graminoid richness (which was highly correlated to soil moisture and proportion of landscape that was water), invertebrate mass, and percent shade (which was highly correlated with canopy characteristics) all playing small parts in structuring communities.
