Geographic location and ecoregional effects on determinants of avian species richness

Creator:

Siegel, Karen E.

Abstract:

Biodiversity studies allow for a more holistic approach to the conservation of species. Using one measure ofbiodiversity, that ofspecies richness, this study investigates the correlations between bird species richness and a set ofvariables. These variables represent climate, productivity/available energy, habitat heterogeneity, disturbance, and topography. Another aspect ofthis study is to...
