Regional land cover patterns, changes and potential relationships with scaled quail (<i>Callipepla squamata</i>) abundance by Paikho Rho, X. Ben Wu, Fred E. Smeins, Nova J. Silvy, Markus J. Peterson

“…A dramatic decline in the abundance of the scaled quail (Callipepla squamata) has been observed across most of its geographic range. In order to evaluate the influence of land cover patterns and their changes on scaled quail abundance, we examined landscape patterns and their changes from the 1970s to the1990s in two large ecoregions with contrasting population trends: (1) the Rolling Plains ecoregion with a significantly decreased scaled quail population and (2) the South Texas Plains ecoregion with a relatively stable scaled quail population. …”
