Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership of scientists and practitioners called the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collec...

Collisions with buildings cause up to 1 billion bird fatalities annually in the United States and Canada. However, efforts to reduce collisions would benefit from studies conducted at large spatial scales across multiple study sites with standardized methods and consideration of species‐ and life‐history‐related variation and correlates of collisions. We addressed these research needs through coordinated collection of data on...

We compared territorial male Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) (GWWA) density and territory placement across four size classes [(1) seedling (<2.5 cm mean diameter at breast height (dbh)), (2) small sapling (3.0–6.0 cm dbh), (3) large sapling (7.0–11.5 cm dbh), (4) pole (12.5–17.0 cm dbh)] of aspen forests (Populus spp.) in northern Wisconsin. We surveyed four stands in each size class in May-June 2000 and observed...
