Long-term avian research at the San Joaquin Experimental Range: Recommendations for monitoring and managing oak woodlands

▶ The San Joaquin Experimental Range (SJER) has a long history of avian research dating back to 1935. ▶ Early work focused on California quail and formed the basis for quail management in California. ▶ Research has led to important recommendations for implementing avian monitoring programs. ▶ Long-term data provide unique opportunities to explore biotic responses to changing environments. ▶ These datasets have facilitated studies of the impacts of invasive species and climate change.
