“…Swengel et al (2011) advocates burning no more than 20% of a particular pasture in a given year. More research is needed, but balancing the need for periodic fires with the need to maintain sizeable unburned areas for up to 8 years to benefit Regals will likely also promote other species that succeed in more mature tallgrass prairies with significant thatch accumulation, such as Henslow's Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii) and Shorteared Owls (Asio flammeus) (Swengel and Swengel 1999, 2007Powell et al 2007).…”

Viola sororia and very moderate management regimes that remove shrubby cover (negatively associated) and promote forb cover (positively associated), while providing ample recovery time on burned and grazed patches for litter development (positively associated). Random forest analysis describes the presence of V. sororia, percent forb cover, and habitat isolation as the top three habitat variables of importance in predicting the presence/absence of S. idalia. Our finding that habitat isolation is a major predictor of S. idalia absence suggests many populations may be both spatially and genetically isolated. S. idalia's future demands the preservation of tallgrass prairie fragments under management regimes that promote healthy populations and habitat connectivity.

“…Many of the studies contributing to the literature on Henslow' s Sparrows were studies on larger grassland bird communities (e.g., Herkert 1994a,b;Swengel 1996;Swengel and Swengel 1999;Warner 1999, 2000;Wiens 1969;Winter and Faaborg 1999). …”

“…Biodiversity has been specifically investigated in the context of designing efficient programs of monitoring and setting out conservation priorities (Balmford & Long 1995, Gadgil 1996, Heywood 1995, Howard et al 1998, Myers 1988, Myers et al 2000, Negi & Gadgil 2002, Oliver & Beattie 1993, Pollard & Yates 1993, Swengel & Swengel 1999. The Global Biodiversity Assessment (Heywood 1995) requires a detailed knowledge of species distribution in particular landscapes.…”
