Changes in breeding activity of Southeast Asian songbirds in response to the severity of the dry season Open
Droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe as the climate changes. Tropical songbirds likely reduce reproductive output during extreme droughts such as El Niño events in Southeast Asia as a tradeoff for reducing mortality ris…

Nest site vegetation structure influences nest predators and nesting success of understory birds in a dry evergreen forest in northeastern Thailand Open
Nest predation is typically the main cause of nest failure in forest understory birds; thus, identification of primary nest predators is key to understanding nest predation patterns. Furthermore, the responses of predators are likely affec…

Changes in endangered hornbill populations over space and time and potential ecological impacts in peninsular Thailand Open
Hornbills are particularly important seed dispersers in tropical Asian forests, but most of the species in the region are declining. In addition, long-term data on the extent of the declines and how forest degradation impacts hornbills rem…

The Endangered giant nuthatch <i>Sitta magna</i>: population size, habitat availability and the implications for its conservation in Thailand Open
Available habitat and hence the global population of the Endangered giant nuthatch Sitta magna , restricted to lower montane habitats of south-western China, eastern Myanmar and northern Thailand, remains poorly quantified. Thailand is the…

Arboreal aperitifs: Space use and activity of a major songbird nest predator in a tropical Thailand forest Open
Predator-prey interactions are fundamental drivers of population dynamics, yet rarely are both predator and prey species simultaneously studied. Despite being significant, widespread avian nest predators, research on the ecology of Southea…

Road induced edge effects on a forest bird community in tropical Asia Open
Background: Edge effects cause changes in bird community richness, abundance, and/or distribution within a landscape, but the avian guilds most influenced can vary among regions. Although Southeast Asia has the highest rates of deforestati…
