1 Status and Trends of the Land Bird Avifauna on Saipan 28 Hawai`i Conservation Conference Based on a report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by R.J. Camp, T.K. Pratt, A.P. Marshall, F. Amidon, and L.L. Williams
2 Outline Introduction Sampling Population estimation Trend estimation Estimates Threats Focal Species Nightingale Reed-Warbler
3 Introduction Mariana Islands identified as an Endemic Bird Area by BirdLife International Increasing human population & rampant habitat transformation Brown Tree Snake (Bogia irregularis) eliminated most birds on Guam Brown Tree Snake now reported from Saipan Faced with large-scale habitat change and an imminent new predator, how are land birds on Saipan fairing?
4 The Birds B. Kumiu E. VanderWerf T. Shears Yellow Bittern White-throated Ground-Dove Mariana Fruit-Dove J. Yue Collared Kingfisher T. Pete Micronesian Myzomela
5 The Birds A. Leishman E. VanderWerf S. Vogt Rufous Fantail Nightingale Reed-Warbler Bridled White-eye Golden White-eye T. Pete E. VanderWerf Micronesian Starling
6 The Birds S. Vogt E. VanderWerf Micronesian Megapode Micronesian Swiftlet T. Rosell L. Kee T. Pete Island Collared-Dove Eurasian Tree Sparrow Orange-cheeked Waxbill
7 Sampling 1982 (Engbring et al.) 1997 (USFWS) 27 (USFWS) Standard pointtransect sampling 14 transects stations 242 resampled
8 Estimation Fit a species specific detection function to account for birds present but missed Estimate density and variance by species Global detection function Account for covariates (eg weather) Annual estimates generated
9 Trends Determine trend with repeated measures ANOVA Densities were log + 1 transformed Compound symmetry variance-covariance structure Kenward-Roger adjustment to df Tukey s adjustment for multiple-comparisons Increasing, stable or declining trends
10 Increasing Densities A B B Yellow Bittern A A B White-throated Ground-dove A A B A B C Micronesian Myzomela Micronesian Starling
11 Increasing Densities A B B Island Collared-dove A B B Eurasian Tree Sparrow A A B Orange-cheeked Waxbill
12 Stable Densities A A A Mariana Fruit-dove A B A Collared Kingfisher A A A Bridled White-eye
13 Decreasing Densities A B C 1% 41% 47% A B C 23% 29% 45% Rufous Fantail Golden White-eye A B C 3% 61% Nightingale Reed-Warbler 44%
14 Other Birds Micronesian Megapode Very rare species Detected 5 1 Saipan population declining Although more common on other Mariana Islands A A B Micronesian Swiftlet numbers a magnitude smaller no movement assumption violated preferentially record near point distances biased low > overestimates
15 Rapid human development 429% increase between 198 & 2; subsequent decline Coastal plain, southern plateau, Kagman peninsula (7%)
16 Land class & disturbance Saipan Percent Forest Secondary Vegetation Land Class Saipan Agroforest Nonforest Introduced Forest 27% Secondary Forest 3% Agroforest 11% Percent Minimum Disturbed 68% Falanruw et al Introduced Limestone Casuarina Forest Type
