The relationship between breeding success in Kirtland's warblers and landscape character-

Associates, 1986.
One of the foundational papers on rarity in nature by a leading thinker. Rabinowitz was the
first to combine a species range, population number, and habitat specificity to define various
forms of rarity in nature, tested against the flora of the British Isles.
