Ornithologists suspect that fragmentation harms many woodland birds by increasing their susceptibility to predation and nest parasitism.

This study seeks to quantify the effects of roads and logging activities on forest habitat.

Impediments to conservation occur when crossing jurisdictional and agency (local, state, and federal) boundaries. No publisher mhowell 2020-07-23T23:03:02Z Link
