Pairing success was 88% on the unharvested site in 1994, however it was lower on the harvested sites in 1995 (53.8%). Low reproductive success was observed in both years (12% and 22% respectively). In 1995, the amount of opening within a 200 meter radius of the first observation point of a male was positively related to pairing success (p<0.05). This suggests that females may be cueing in on the increased number of shrubs in and around openings.vi, 57 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn Copyrightedgeforestrynesting successpairing successsilviculturesongbirdstimber harvestvireosLD5655.V855 1996.M444Thesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-10012008-063136/
