“…We analyzed data on species known or suspected to breed at Palenque ( n = 213; Supporting Information) (Patten et al 2011). Our response variable was the parameter estimate for a logistic regression of a species’ presence or absence per year regressed against year for 110 years (1900–2009) or for 40 years (1970–2009).…”

Many explorations of extinction probability have had a global focus, yet it is unclear whether variables that explain the probability of extinction at large spatial extents are the same as those at small spatial extents. Thus, we used nearly annual presence-absence records for the most recent 40 years of a 110-year data set from Palenque, Mexico, an area with ongoing deforestation, to explore which of >200 species of birds have probabilities of extirpation that are likely to increase. We assessed associations between long-term trends in species presence (i.e., detection in a given year) and body size, geographic range size, diet, dependence on forest cover, taxonomy, and ecological specialization. Our response variable was the estimated slope of a weighted logistic regression for each species. We assessed the relative strength of each predictor by means of a model ranking scheme. Several variables associated with high extinction probability at global extents, such as large body size or small geographic range size, were not associated with occurrence of birds over time at our site. Body size was associated with species loss at Palenque, but occurrence trends of both very large and very small species, particularly the latter, have declined, or the species have been extirpated. We found no association between declining occurrence trend and geographic range size, yet decline correlated with whether a species depends on forest (mean occupancy trend =-0.0380, 0.0263, and 0.0186 for, respectively, species with high, intermediate, or low dependence on forest) and with complex combinations of diet and foraging strata (e.g., occurrence of canopy insectivores and terrestrial omnivores has increased, whereas occurrence of mid-level frugivores and terrestrial granivores has decreased). Our findings emphasize that analyses of local areas are necessary to explicate extirpation risk at various spatial extents.

“…The masked bobwhite is listed as endangered in the United States (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1995). The status of the northern bobwhite in Mexico is unclear, although at least 1 subspecies, the least bobwhite (C. virginianus minor), has been extirpated from Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico (Patten et al 2010(Patten et al , 2011.…”

Contemporary genetic structure of the northern bobwhite west of the Mississippi River

We used mitochondrial DNA to study the population structure and genetic diversity of the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) west of the Mississippi River. We observed a lack of phylogeographic structure, high haplotype diversity, and low nucleotide diversity for northern bobwhites in this part of their geographic range. Despite the discordance between geographic patterns of mtDNA diversity and subspecies designations, we detected significant genetic differentiation among 4 subspecies, the plains (C. v. taylori), eastern (C. v. virginianus), Texas (C. v. texanus), and masked (C. v. ridgwayi) bobwhites. Evidence of significant isolation by distance and a latitudinal gradient with regard to the geographic distribution of haplotypes was also apparent. Neutrality tests, Bayesian skyline plots, and test of spatial expansion provided evidence of demographic and range expansion following the end of the last Pleistocene glaciation. Lack of phylogeographic structure indicates that morphological differences that are the basis of subspecies designations are of recent origin. Ecoregions may provide a better basis for management units than subspecies taxonomy for northern bobwhites in the western part of their geographic range. Our results indicate that much of the northern bobwhite's geographic range in the United States is the result of relatively recent colonization, which was a response to climate and habitat changes at the close of the Pleistocene. The northern bobwhite may be as vulnerable to fluctuations in climate as it has been to habitat and landscape changes during the past century. Ó 2014 The Wildlife Society.
