Consequences of parasite invasion and land use on the spatial dynamics of host populations

2008-08-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Conversion of natural habitats to human use can affect the abundance and distribution of predators and parasites, create population sinks, and reduce the viability of valued prey and host species. We asked how the distribution of brown-headed cowbirds Molothrus ater, a generalist brood parasite, has influenced the source-sink dynamics of song sparrow Melospiza melodia populations and their regional population t...
