Abundance and density estimates of landbirds on Grenada

Abstract: Abstract  Throughout the Caribbean, resident landbirds have been subject to proportionately limited research compared to migrant species. In Grenada in particular, there is uncertainty about the status of several regional endemics, including the Grenada Flycatcher (Myiarchus nugator) and the Lesser Antillean Tanager (Stilpnia cucullata). We conducted distance sampling point counts (n = 199) in forested and agricultural habitats across Grenada in 2018 and 2019 to estimate the distribution and relative ab… Show more

“…Different ecosystems including mature lowland, mangrove, and secondary scrub were also selected by several Grenadian species, such as the endemic Grenada Flycatcher. Recent surveys on Grenada also found higher densities of the endemic Grenada Flycatcher in lowland habitats (Koper andGrieef 2016, Devenish-Nelson andNelson 2021), thus demonstrating that mature lowlands are critical habitat for this species. Our results are consistent with other studies that found that both mangrove and mature lowland forests are essential habitat for some specialist species (Round and Brockelman 1998, Nagelkerken et al 2008, Joseph 2020.…”
