Evaluating Great Smoky Mountains National Park as a population source for the Wood Thrush
Simons TR, Farnsworth GL, Shriner SA. 2000. Evaluating Great Smoky Mountains National Park as a population source for the Wood Thrush. Conservation Biology. 14(4):1133-1144
The Wood Thrush is used as a model for evaluating the role Great Smoky Mountains National park may play in maintaining songbird populations. While the park functions as a substancial population source on a local scale, its potential to sustain reginal or continental Wood Thrush populations is limited. Therefore, extensive areas of suitable habitat outside protected lands will be required to sustain continental breeding populations.
