Effects of habitat on dickcissel abundance and nest success in conservation reserve program fields in Kansas
Article Abstract:
A new study assesses the effectiveness of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) fields as habitats for the passerine species, the dicksissel. Dicksissel numbers, reproductive success and survival rates were measured over a two year period. The study shows that nest-survival rates for both years remained similar, while small habitat changes had little effect on nesting success. It is suggested that the habitat quality of CRP fields could be improved by less frequent burning.

Mourning Dove productivity in California during 1992-95: was it sufficient to balance mortality?
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the reasons for the decline in the population of Mourning Doves since 1966 in the western US. Mayfield estimates were used to study the productivity of 3,047 nests.
