Introduction
A birder, and wildlife researcher (mostly focusing on birds). My current project is focusing on the conservation of open-country birds in the Central Plains of Thailand where rice fields are the major habitat.

Avian brood parasitism can have severely detrimental effects on a host’s reproductive success and cause population declines. The Long-tailed Shrike (Lanius schach) is one of many hosts of the parasitic Asian Koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus). The Long-tailed Shrike subspecies longicaudatus, endemic to Thailand, is declining: however, the cause is unclea...

Droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe as the climate changes. Tropical songbirds likely reduce reproductive output during extreme droughts such as El Niño events in Southeast Asia as a tradeoff for reducing mortality risks. However, the timing of these rainfall responses and the extent of these reproductive costs are largely unkn...
Article
Nest predation is typically the main cause of nest failure in forest understory birds; thus, identification of primary nest predators is key to understanding nest predation patterns. Furthermore, responses of predators are likely affected by vegetation structure, but predator responses to micro-scale habitat characteristics are largely unknown, esp...
Technical Report
Mainland Southeast Asia supports some of the richest faunas in the Old-World tropics, overlapping entirely with the megadiverse Indo-Burma and Sundaland biodiversity hotspots, and major bird migratory routes in the East Asian- Australasian Flyway. The exploitation of wildlife for food, medicines, ornaments and other human uses is a well-known threa...
Article
Multiple studies indicate that grassland and farmland birds are declining in temperate zones, but few have been conducted in the tropics. Here we examined effects of rice intensification on landbird communities and estimated habitat-specific densities of eight songbird species of national and/or global conservation concern in the central plains of...

Systematic observations at Khao Dinsor, Chumphon province, Thailand, in the overland diurnal migrant 'bottleneck' of the Thai-Malay Peninsula during 2015-2018 recorded 619,075 individuals of 86 non-raptorial bird species considered non-breeding visitors. Data on the southward migration timing and patterns of 16 regular diurnal migrants are presente...

Nets are used across a wide variety of food production landscapes to control avian pests typically resulting in deaths of entangled birds. However, the impact of nets on bird populations is a human-wildlife conflict that remains mostly unquantified. Here, we examined the scale of netting in the central plains of Thailand, a region dominated by rice...

Dam construction for the provision of hydropower and a stable water supply poses a major threat to freshwater biodiversity. Water fluctuation due to dam management has adverse effects on local people and biodiversity in downstream areas, including sandbar-nesting birds. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of water levels controlled...

Hunting for the wild meat trade, medicines and other human uses has decimated Indo-Burma's vertebrate biota and has led to widespread defaunation. Yet, there is surprisingly little data on how hunting impacts wild bird assemblages in different landscapes here. Based on concurrent snapshot surveys of bird hunting, food markets and hunting attitudes...

Available habitat and hence the global population of the Endangered giant nuthatch Sitta magna , restricted to lower montane habitats of south-western China, eastern Myanmar and northern Thailand, remains poorly quantified. Thailand is the only portion of the species’ range for which there is a population estimate. To obtain a more precise estimate...

We here document sightings and photographic records of Aleutian Terns 𝘖𝘯𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 in the Gulf of Thailand, together with a single record of another long-distance migrant tern, Arctic Tern 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘦𝘢.

Road edges in the temperate zone often negatively affect reproductive success, post-fledging survival, and dispersal of forest birds through processes associated with edge habitats. This pattern is less clear in the tropics due to a lack of studies using natural nests and radio-tagged fledglings as well as an almost complete absence of information...

Khao Dinsor, Chumphon Province, on the Thai-Malay Peninsula, is a globally important monitoring site for southbound migratory raptors using the East Asian Continental Flyway. We report the progress of our observations, in which 35 species of resident and migratory raptors were recorded during successive autumns in 2010–2016. During two years of sys...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Effects of edges on forest wildlife have been rarely studied in Southeast Asia. Edge effects are expected to influence avian nest survival and nest success, which are the result of changes in species composition and abundance of nest predators. In this study, we investigated the effects of road edges on nest survival and nest success and defined th...
