Native shortgrass prairie ecosystems have undergone drastic changes since European settlement, resulting in fragmentation of native prairie. With this reduction in available native habitat, it has become increasingly important to conserve the...
The objectives of this study were threefold: 1) to determine whether buntings prefer cultivated areas or native grassland for nest sites; 2) to determine whether nests destroyed by agricultural practices result in renesting in "safer" habitats...
