The avifauna of Saipan, Northern Marianas Islands, includes a variety of endemic and range-restricted species of conservation concern. Monitoring population dynamics, trends, and vital rates of these species can help inform their conservation. Here we apply reverse symmetry models to 11 years (2008–2018) of capture–recapture data from 6 mist-nettin...

Habitat loss and fragmentation can negatively impact native wildlife and facilitate establishment of introduced species. On islands, introduced species are a primary cause of extinction and can alter community membership through predation or competition for resources. Consequently, elucidating the distribution of introduced and native species can i...

Invasive alien species are a major threat to native insular species. Eradicating invasive mammals from islands is a feasible and proven approach to prevent biodiversity loss. We developed a conceptual framework to identify globally important islands for invasive mammal eradications to prevent imminent extinctions of highly threatened species using...

Table of islands, country or territory of ownership, invasive mammals and highly threatened species occurring on island, island rank reflecting conservation value, and timeframe assessed by socio-political survey in which an eradication could feasibly be initiated. Invasive mammal species listed are only those identified as having negative impact o...

Table of islands where no socio-political feasibility data was available during this study, country or territory of ownership, invasive mammals and highly threatened species occurring on island. Invasive mammal species listed are only those identified as having negative impact on highly threatened species and fall below island area and human popula...

This plan developed by and for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Division of Fish and Wildlife provides context of the current environmental conditions and terrestrial wildlife resources in the CNMI, followed by common readiness strategies and response steps. We then provide separate readiness and response actions pertaining t...

This report describes the results of a systematic cost-benefit analysis evaluating potential invasive vertebrate eradication projects in the remote northern islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

The CNMI Division of Fish and Wildlife led a participatory planning process through which professionals and the public identified conservation priorities for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. About 60 terrestrial and marine "Species of Greatest Conservation Need" were identified. The Plan describes current status, measurable objecti...

Overview: Prairie-obligate bird species are declining more rapidly than any other avian community (Knopf 1996). Conservation entities are conducting habitat improvement actions intended to reverse declines of grassland bird populations. To guide a strategic planning process for prairie-obligate bird species, the Greater Prairie-Chicken (GPC; Tympan...
