| Method | Abstract: "Using multiple and independent monitoring networks, [investigators] report population losses across much of the North American avifauna over 48 years, including once common species and from most biomes." See note above table. See ref (100) beneath table |
| Comments | P.2 left column 3rd paragraph: "More than 90% of the total cumulative loss can be attributed to 12 bird families (Fig. 3A), including sparrows, warblers, blackbirds, and finches. Of 67 bird families surveyed, 38 showed a net loss in total abundance, whereas 29 showed gains (Fig. 3B), indicating recent changes in avifaunal composition (table S2)."
