Environmental Impact - Wildlife/Vegetation Effects

Erwin, R. M. (1980). Breeding habitat use by colonially nesting water birds in two mid-Atlantic U.S. regions under different regimes of human disturbances. Biological Conservation, 18: 39-51.

Abstract

Nesting habitat selection by four species of seabirds was compared between New Jersey and Virginia. Low seabird use of barrier islands along the more disturbed New Jersey coast suggests that human disturbance causes seabirds to nest in less preferred habitats. Effects of the habitat shift on seabirds is discussed.
