The response of avian foraging guilds and plant communities to prescribed fire in the ponderosa pine forests of the U.S. Southwest
... Food resources are cited as the most influential factor of avian habitat selection (Koplin 1972; Pyke 1984). Because most forest birds are insectivorous during the breeding season, it has been hypothesized that avian ...
