Download or read book Movements, Habitat Use, and Stopover Duration of Migratory Songbirds in the Western Lake Erie Basin of Northern Ohio written by Ashley A. Buchanan and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both species exhibited high variability in movement behavior. Mean total distance moved per day was 2.2 km for YRWA and 0.9 km for REVI. Mean movement rate (m min-1) per day was 3.5 for YRWA and 1.8 for REVI. Patch habitat type, area, and connectivity were important in describing variation in patch residence time and movement rate for YRWA. Patch habitat type, patch area, and translocation influenced patch residence time for REVI, but none of these factors was important in describing their movement rates. The model that best described stopover duration for YRWA included energetic condition, year, and release site. High variation in candidate models suggested that none of the models adequately described stopover duration for REVI. There was also significant variability in the movement behavior of individuals.
