Fort Hood Avian Simulation Model: A Dynamic Model of Ecological Influences on TwoEndangered Species

摘要

The endangered golden-cheeked warbler (GCWA) and black-capped vireo (BCVI) breedat Fort Hood, Texas. Both populations are influenced by management activities, military impacts, and land use policies, especially those pertaining to cattle grazing and fire suppression. In addition, the reproductive success of individuals in these populations is adversely affected by brood parasitism by the brown-headed cowbird (BHCO), a species whose distribution and abundance are also influenced by land use policies. To protect breeding habitat and reduce the
