Evaluation of a reproductive index for estimating songbird productivity: Case study of the golden‐cheeked warbler

Jennifer L. Reidy, Lisa O'Donnell, Frank R. Thompson III · 2015 · Wildlife Society Bulletin

ABSTRACT It is critically important to determine and understand relationships between endangered species populations and landscape and habitat features to effectively manage and conserve populations and the habitats they rely on. Several recent studies focused on the golden‐cheeked warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia), an endangered songbird that breeds exclusively in central Texas, USA, have used a reproductive index to link pairing and breeding success to various factors of interest. However, no field test has evaluated the performance of a reproductive index at estimating productivity of golden‐
