A study of riparian bird communities from the dry interior of British Columbia / K.H. Morgan, S.P. Wetmore.: CW69-5/11E-PDF
"The avifauna of riparian habitats were studied from four sites within two biogeoclimatic subzones. A total of 49 bird species were identified, with a maximum of 29 species at a given site. Riparian habitats in the Dry Submontane Interior Douglas-fir subzone supported a richer avifauna than those in the Dry Western Montane Interior Douglas-fir subzone. Bird species richness and nesting guild diversity both increased with the number of tree species and the length of the study site. Foraging and nesting guild proportions were not significantly different between sites. Biogeoclimatic subzones and guild characteristics appeared to be poor tools for managing riparian bird communities. The potential effects of the removal of snags and deciduous trees and shrubs from riparian communities are discussed"--Abstract, p. i.
