In the footsteps of J.A. Munro : waterbirds and wetlands in the Cariboo parklands, British Columbia : a comparative study, 1938, 1958, 2001 / Neil K. Dawe ... [et al.]. : CW69-5/376E-PDF
"In the late 1930's, James A. Munro described 54 wetlands or wetland complexes and the associated waterbird fauna in the Cariboo parklands region of central British Columbia. Concerned about the potential loss of these wetlands through increasing population growth and economic development, he revisited these same wetlands in 1958 and recorded the changes he observed both in the habitat and the bird numbers. Following in Munro's footsteps, we re-sampled 35 (65%) of these wetlands in 2001 and compared our results with his earlier inventories. For the purpose of future comparison, we described some aspects of the physical and chemical characteristics of these wetlands and photo documented each of them. We also document the other wetland birds associated with these areas, which were omitted from Munro's earlier inventories"--Abstract, p. iii.
