%X Logging is considered the most important threat to species in boreal
	forests. In contrast to eastern Canada, where most boreal forests
	remain largely untouched, in Fennoscandia it is possible to assess
	the cumulative, long-term effects of intensive forestry on wildlife.
	But harvesting of stands is rapidly changing Canadian boreal forests,
	which represent an important proportion of the world's boreal forests.
	We show that Fennoscandia and eastern Canada present striking similarities
	in terms of forest-age structure, natural-disturbance regime, and
	structure of bird assemblages, and we provide an assessment of the
	long-term effects of forestry on eastern Canadian birds of the boreal
	forest. We used life-history traits from habitat, nesting site, and
	geographical range to calculate an index of sensitivity to changes
	induced by modern forestry for boreal species of each region. Tropical
	migrants commonly found in eastern Canadian boreal forests have life-history
	traits that are not threat factors in relation to changes caused
	by modern forestry. Therefore, the general belief that tropical migrants
	in North America are more sensitive to landscape changes than those
	in Europe may not hold for species found in the boreal coniferous
	forests of eastern Canada. Nine Fennoscandian species present high
	levels of sensitivity, and at least eight eastern Canadian species
	are of similar concern. In both regions, most of the sensitive species
	are resident cavity nesters. Given the important similarities between
	the two regions, the northern expansion of commercial forestry in
	eastern Canada is likely to result in the significant decline of
	several resident species, as has occurred in Fennoscandia.
