There are
several resources available that provide compilations and syntheses from the
scientific literature on the effects of management practices on particular
bird species. These efforts include:
(1) ConserveOnline is a "one-stop" online, public library, created and
maintained by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in partnership with other
conservation organizations. The library makes conservation tools, techniques,
and experience available to a broad community of conservation practitioners.
The links provided here are to resources called Species Management
Abstracts.
For more information on the TNC ConserveOnline effort visit http://conserveonline.org/ or
contact
David Mehlman, 505-244-0535,
Ext. 24 dmehlman@tnc.org
(2) A series of literature
syntheses on the effects of management practices on grassland and wetland
birds being completed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife
Research Center (NPWRC).
For more information on the NPWRC effort, or their writeups, visit http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/literatr/grasbird/ or http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/literatr/wetbird/
(3) Species Status Assessments, syntheses of literature available on
particular species of interest to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
and Focal Species Accounts developed as part of the USFWS Focal Species
Strategy to measure success in bird conservation. In addition, where available online,
we link to recovery plans for species listed under the Endangered Species
Act.
Information on focal species can be found at: http://focalbirds.nbii.gov/portal/community/Communities/Ecological_Topics/Bird_Conservation/FWS_Focal_Species/ .
(4) The Birds of
North America
species
accounts are now available online through Cornell Lab of Ornithology by
subscription. Otherwise they are
commonly available as hard copies in science libraries and other libraries. For ease of reference, we provide
the BNA account number for each species.

WHAT SPECIES ACCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE?
Below is a table listing species for which one or more of these writeups
are available. A "YES" in the appropriate Sources - Availability column
indicates that a species account is currently available. The acronyms in the Source
columns represent: TNC (The Nature Conservancy/ConserveOnline); NPWRC
(
USGS
Northern
Prairie
Wildlife
Research
Center
); USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service - Species Status Assessment or
Focal Species Account); and BNA (Birds of North America).
Please note: We continue to add links to Species
Accounts within this table. If the Yes in the box is underlined and
highlighted, then a Species Account is available and this can be clicked to go
to that Species Account via the web.
