“…Changes in nest height through the season are most likely a reflection of changes in vegetation structure and growth. Some studies (Ludvig et al1995, Burhans et al 2002, Piper & Catterall 2004 have found significant relationships between nest height and predation rates, and although this specific relationship was beyond the scope of our study, daily nest failure rates in our study did not differ significantly with nest height.…”

“…Nest predation studies within this bioregion suggests that these species with the addition of the grey shrike-thrush are the major contributors to avian nest predation (Piper and Catterall, 2004). The density of the Australian magpie, torresian crow, and noisy miner were highest in uncleared grazed riparian sites surrounded by crop (R-C) and native pasture (R-N), however, the density of grey and pied butcherbirds and pied currawong did not vary with context, suggesting that densities of some key avian nest predators are not associated with these factors and that nest predation rates in riparian habitat may not vary greatly with different contexts in this study region.…”

An important challenge for riparian management is to determine the extent to which landscape context influences the faunal assemblages of riparian habitats. We examined this challenge in the variegated landscapes of southeastern Queensland, Australia where riparian vegetation is surrounded by both extensive grazing and intensive cropping. We investigated whether riparian habitats adjacent to different landuses support similar bird assemblages. Three types of riparian habitat condition were sampled (uncleared ungrazed; uncleared grazed; cleared grazed) in four different land-use contexts (ungrazed woodland; grazed woodland; native pasture; crop) although only six of the 12 possible treatment combinations were available. Eighty percent of bird species responded significantly to changes in both riparian habitat condition and landscape context, while fewer than 50% of species were significantly influenced by landscape context alone. The influence of landscape con-text on the bird assemblage increased as the surrounding land use became more intensive (e.g., woodland to native pasture to crop). Riparian zones have been shown to have consistently high biodiversity values relative to their extent. These findings suggest it is not enough to conserve riparian habitats alone, conservation and restoration plans must also take into consideration landscape context, particularly when that context is intensively used land.
