| Title: |
Habitat Selection by Passerine Birds in Forest and Shrub
Wetlands, Fairbanks, Alaska |
| Abstract: |
Bird surveys were conducted along trail systems in shrub
and forest wetlands in Fairbanks, Alaska. Bird locations were overlaid on
a vegetation map (classification system compatible with the National Wetland
Inventory and the Alaska Vegetation Classification Systems) in order to
develop habitat selection models. This project will identify bird species
with specialized habitat requirements and habitat types that support high
bird densities or high species richness. |
