Yoho_NP_ForestAlpine_Songbird Point Counts

Yoho_NP_ForestAlpine_Songbird Point Counts Birds adapted to alpine ecosystems are often sensitive to habitat and climate changes because of their niche specialization. For example, birds that are specialized to breeding in colder alpine conditions may be outcompeted by more generalist species if warmer conditions arise. Yearly data are collected at these sites using audio recorders to determine indices of bird diversity and occupancy trends to inform management. 2024-03-29 Parks Canada tony.einfeldt@pc.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentYoho National Parkbirdsalpine ecosystem Forest - Avian Species Relative Abundance - DataCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/8cfbac86-d63c-432e-a23d-3419db61f111/resource/8873c40f-e979-4a1d-bcee-eccf1e2790fd/download/yoho_np_forest_and_tundra_birds_ynp_2007-2022.csv Forest - Avian Species Relative Abundance - Data DictionaryCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/8cfbac86-d63c-432e-a23d-3419db61f111/resource/7a8f0808-56a6-4eab-bb39-dea08786fd64/download/yoho_np_forest_and_tundra_birds_ynp_2007-2022_data_dictionary.csv
