Question:- The speckled warbler is a small, declining, woodland bird that is restricted to intact forest and woodland areas Speckled warblers are sensitive to fragmentation and declining patch size.

What other factors might you consider when selecting metrics to describe habitat suitably?

ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern bird 1-2 bases on the CA least tern bird Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?
