Abstract:
AbstractDue to extensive clearing of bottomland forest in the southeastern United States, Swainson's Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) is restricted in many drainages to seasonally inundated buffer zones bordering rivers and swamps. This migratory species is especially vulnerable to flooding because of its ground foraging ecology, but little is known about patterns of habitat occupancy at wetland ecotones. I investigated the physiognomic and floristic correlates of habitat use along a subtle hydrological gradient in the Great Dismal Swamp, southeastern Virginia. Hydrology is the driving force influencing vegetation and the distribution of Swainson's Warbler in that habitat. Foraging and singing stations of territorial males were significantly drier and more floristically diverse than unoccupied habitat. There was scant evidence that the distribution and abundance of particular plant species, including giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), influenced habitat selection. Instead, Swainson's Warbler seems to evaluate potential territories on the basis of multiscale physiognomic, hydrological, and edaphic characteristics. Territories were characterized by extensive understory thickets (median = 36,220 small woody stems and cane culms per hectare; range, 14,000–81,400/ha), frequent greenbriar tangles, deep shade at ground level, and an abundance of leaf litter overlying moist organic soils. Those sites occurred most frequently in relatively well-drained tracts of broad-leaf forest that had suffered extensive canopy damage and windthrow. Data suggest a preference for early successional forest in the current landscape or disturbance gaps in primeval forest. Because territories in otherwise optimal habitat are abandoned when flooding extends into the breeding season, it is recommended that the water table be maintained at subsurface levels from late March through September in natural areas managed primarily for this species. Direct and indirect environmental factors that influence the breeding biology of the warbler are summarized in an envirogram.

Abstract:
AbstractWe studied breeding bird communities in extensive bottomland hardwood forests along the lower Roanoke River in North Carolina during 1992 and 1993. We documented a rich avian community and recorded exceptionally high densities of two species (Prothonotary Warbler Protonotaria citrea, Acadian Flycatcher Empidonax virescens), as well as modest densities of three species rarely encountered elsewhere in the region (Cerulean Warbler Dendroica cerulea, Swainson's Warbler Limnothlypis swainsonii, American Redstart Setophaga ruticilla). The effects of patch size and edge on bird abundance were small in this forested landscape, but forest type had a large effect. We found half of the species analyzed to differ in abundance between the two primary habitat types, swamp forest and levee forest. In contrast, no species was consistently more abundant at patch interiors than near edges, and only two forest birds were more common in large compared with small patches. Species analyzed included permanent residents, short-distance migrants, Neotropical migrants, and those identified as forest-interior and area-sensitive species in other studies. Our results suggest that the Roanoke River bottomland forests may be functioning effectively as a reserve for a number of bird species.

Abstract:
Understanding how commercial forests can be managed to benefit wildlife has important conservation implications, as silvicultural landscapes occur globally and have high economic value. In this study, I compared two habitat types in southeastern Louisiana, even-aged loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda) and bottomland hardwood forests, both used for breeding by Swainson's Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii; SWWA). I investigated habitat quality and habitat selection patterns of SWWA to (1) assess the conservation value of pine plantations for understory-nesting birds, (2) identify ecological factors important in habitat selection at multiple scales, and (3) contribute needed information on the natural history and status of a species of conservation concern The density of breeding pairs, timing of nesting, clutch size, hatching rates, and reproductive success of SWWA did not differ significantly between habitats. These results, coupled with similar patterns of habitat use at the nest site, suggest that the habitats are ecologically analogous for breeding. Similarities in morphology and behavior also suggest that ecotypic variation does not account for differences in ecological success or patterns of habitat selection in the two forest types Predictions about habitat selection mechanisms were tested based on the foraging behaviors and nesting requirements of SWWA at specific scales. I found support for four hypotheses (Foraging Substrate, Potential Nest Site, Nest Decoy, and Nest Concealment), demonstrating that SWWA use different cues at the habitat, territory, nest patch, and nest site scales, but consistently across habitat types. Vegetation characteristics contributing to the nesting and foraging needs of this species served as mechanisms for habitat selection These results support the conclusion that SWWA has expanded its breeding range into an anthropogenic habitat that meets its basic nesting requirements, despite structural and floristic differences between the two forest types. The implication of these findings is that the conservation value of the enormous area of commercial pine plantations in the southeastern United States can be significantly augmented by appropriate management choices
