However, many conservation actions are not implemented under an experimental framework, making it difficult to measure their effectiveness. Ecological monitoring datasets provide useful opportunities for measuring the effect of conservation actions and a baseline upon which adaptive management can be built. We measure the effect of conservation actions on Australian woodland ecosystems using two community group-led bird monitoring datasets. Australia’s temperate woodlands have been largely cleared for agricultural production and their bird communities are in decline. To reverse these declines, a suite of conservation actions has been implemented by government and non- government agencies, and private landholders. We analysed the response of total woodland bird abundance, species richness, and community condition, to two widely-used actions — grazing exclusion and replanting. We recorded 139 species from 134 sites and 1,389 surveys over a 20-year period. Grazing exclusion and replanting combined had strong positive effects on all three bird community metrics over time relative to control sites, where no actions had occurred.

  • Predicted Effects of Landscape Change, Sea Level Rise, and Habitat
    Predicted effects of landscape change, sea level rise, and habitat management on the extirpation risk of the Hawaiian common gallinule (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis) on the island of O`ahu Charles B. van Rees and J. Michael Reed Department of Biology, Tufts University, Medford, MA, United States of America ABSTRACT We conducted a spatially explicit, stochastic, individually based population viability analysis for the Hawaiian common gallinule (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis), an endan- gered subspecies of waterbird endemic to fragmented coastal wetlands in Hawai`i. This subspecies persists on two islands, with no apparent movement between them. We assessed extirpation risk for birds on O`ahu, where the resident gallinule population is made up of several fragmented subpopulations. Data on genetic differentiation were used to delineate subpopulations and estimate dispersal rates between them. We used sensitivity analyses to gauge the impact of current uncertainty of vital rate parameters on population projections, to ascertain the relative importance of gallinule vital rates to population persistence, and to compare the efficacy of potential management strategies. We used available sea level rise projections to examine the relative vulnerability of O`ahu's gallinule population to habitat loss arising from this threat. Our model predicted persistence of the island's gallinule population at 160 years (∼40 generations), but with high probabilities of extirpation for small subpopulations. Sensitivity analyses highlighted the importance of juvenile and adult mortality to population persistence in Submitted 6 March 2018 Hawaiian gallinules, justifying current predator control efforts and suggesting the need Accepted 27 May 2018 for additional research on chick and fledgling survival. Subpopulation connectivity Published 22 June 2018 from dispersal had little effect on the persistence of the island-wide population, but Corresponding author strong effects on the persistence of smaller subpopulations.

  • Hawaiian Birds 1972*
    HAWAIIAN BIRDS 1972* ANDREW J. BERGER More kinds (species and subspecies) of birds have become extinct in Hawaii than on all continents’ of the world combined. These endemic Hawaiian birds have become ex- tinct since 1844l, and most of them have succumbed since the 1890s. Table 1 lists the endemic Hawaiian birds which are presumed to be extinct. Moreover, Hawaiian birds account for nearly one-half of the birds in the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlifes’ Red Book of rare and endangered species. The follow- ing list contains 16 of the rare and endangered Hawaiian birds: Newells’ Manx Shear- water (Puffinus puffinus newel&), Hawaiian Dark-rumped Petrel (Pterodroma phaeo- pygia sandwichensis), Harcourt s’ Storm Petrel (Oceanodroma Castro cryptoleucura), Nene or Hawaiian Goose (Branta sandvicensis), Koloa or Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana) , Laysan Duck (Anus laysanensis) , Hawaiian Hawk (Buteo solitarius) , Hawaiian Gallinule (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) , Hawaiian Coot (Fulica ameri- cana alai), Hawaiian Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus himantopus knudseni), Hawaiian Crow (Corvus tropicus), Large Kauai Thrush (Phaeornis obscurus myadestina), Molo- kai Thrush (Phaeornis o. rutha), Small Kauai Thrush (Phaeornis palmeri), Nihoa Millerbird (Acrocephalus familiaris kingi), and the Kauai 00 (Moho braccetus). TO this list may be added the non-migratory Hawaiian population of the Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax n. hoactli). But, there are even more endangered Hawaiian birds!

  • The First Accurate Census of the Endangered Hawaiian Moorhen (Gallinula Chloropus Sandvicensis) David Desrochers Biology Department, AS&E, Tufts University
    The first accurate census of the endangered Hawaiian Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) David DesRochers Biology Department, AS&E, Tufts University As an ornithologist, I am very interested in education and the conservation of wetland birds. My long-term career goals are to teach conservation, ecology and ornithology at the collegiate level and study poorly known waterbirds, especially those of conservation concern. As part of my doctoral program here at Tufts University, I am interested in further contributing to this type of work by studying the endangered Hawaiian Moorhen, a cryptic waterbird in the rail family. Appropriate species and habitat management to ensure the persistence of the six endangered waterbirds endemic to Hawaii’s is hindered by a lack of life-history information, particularly for cryptic species such as rails. My goal is to do the first accurate census of this species, and to acquire sufficient information on demography and habitat use to understand the species’ extinction risk and to help develop a protocol to better manage for the persistence of this endangered bird and potentially apply it to other endangered waterbirds. Here I will only discuss the census portion of the project. Background: The Hawaiian Moorhen is an endangered cryptic rail endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Moorhen are found on Oahu and Kauai, and formerly on Maui, Molokai, and the Big Island. Wetland habitat, necessary for the persistence of this bird, has declined in area by 31% during the last 200 years (USFWS 2003). Historic and current population sizes of Hawaiian waterbirds have depended on habitat availability, which is determined largely by habitat conversion for housing and business, and on agricultural (e.g.

  • Focal Species: Hawaiian Water Birds: • Hawaiian Coot Or 'Alae
    Hawaiian Bird Conservation Action Plan Focal Species: Hawaiian Water birds: Hawaiian Coot or ‘Alae ke‘oke‘o (Fulica alai) Hawaiian Gallinule or ‘Alae ‘Ula (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis) Hawaiian Stilt or Ae‘o (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) Synopsis: These three waterbirds use a variety of wetlands, but habitat loss and degradation have reduced their range and abundance. The Hawaiian Coot is considered a full species, while the gallinule and stilt are subspecies of North American taxa. The coot and stilt are widespread and relatively numerous, but the more secretive gallinule is found on only two islands and is thought to have a smaller population. Habitat protection and management are keys to recovery of these species. They nest on the ground or in low wetland vegetation, where they are vulnerable to non-native predators, so predator control also is important to increase reproduction. Hawaiian Coot, Gallinule, and Stilt (left to right). Photos Eric VanderWerf Geographic region: Hawaiian Islands Group: Water birds Federal Status: Endangered (coot, gallinule, and stilt) State status: Endangered (coot, gallinule, and stilt) IUCN status: Vulnerable (coot only, gallinule and stilt NA) PIF/ABC score, rank: 17/20, 18/20, 18/20, At-risk Watch List 2007 Score: Red (coot, gallinule, and stilt) Climate Change Score: Moderate (coot, gallinule, and stilt) Status: The Hawaiian Coot, Hawaiian Gallinule, and Hawaiian Stilt are all listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) and by the state of Hawaii. The Hawaiian Coot is considered vulnerable by the IUCN. The Hawaiian Gallinule and Hawaiian Stilt are subspecies of the Common Gallinule and Black-necked Stilt of North America, respectively, and thus are not specifically considered by the IUCN.

HBNSHAW. HONOLULU, H. T. THOS. G. THRUM, PUBLISHER. r 1902 Copyright, 1902. BY Thos. Q. Thettm. INTRODUCTION. Of recent years the study of nature has become popular and widespread in America. Not only is Nature Study taught in many of the schools, but the publications relating thereto have become very numerous. Unfortunately these various treatises apply wholly or in large part to the birds, insects, animals and plants of the mainland, few or none of which are found in the Hawaiian Islands. Such publications are hence of comparatively little use to island teachers and pupils or to the Islanders generally. There being at present no popular work upon Hawaiian birds, the present little volume has been prepared with the view of break- ing ground in this department, and with the hope that it may prove of assistance to those who are already bird-lovers and, as well, may stimulate others to become such.
