Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment: Olive-sided Flycatcher (Maine)
Assessment full text
This species was identified as moderately vulnerable to climate change because of the following factors:
- Exhibits a significant degree of habitat specificity
- The species' occupied range in Maine is highly fragmented either due to patchy habitat availability and/or low occupancy of potential habitat
- Survival and reproduction dependent on specific or stable hydrological regimes
- Suspected low genetic diversity or known previous genetic bottleneck
- Diruption of environmental cues for critical life stages by climate change is likely
- Disruption of highly specilized relationship with host species that are vulnerable to climate change
