| NOTES: |
Current status of Nightingale Reed-Warblers (Acrocephalus luscinia) in the Mariana Islands was examined by field surveys and responses to tape recordings of calls. Historic status was determined using the literature, museum specimens, and field notes of previous researchers. Reed-warblers, |
| NOTES: |
historically found on five of the Mariana Islands, currently are thought to be extinct on Guam, Aguijan, and Pagan. Substantial numbers still remain on Saipan and Alamagan. |
| NOTES: |
Reasons for extinctions may include loss of wetlands and understory vegetation by volcanic activity, land development, and feral ungulates; fires in wetlands; pesticides; and predation by brown tree snakes (Boiga irregularis). |
