Movements by Birds and Small Mammals Between a Wood and Adjoining Farmland Habitats

摘要: (1) White-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and chipmunks (Tamias striatus) moved between a beech-maple wood connecting fencerows four times as often they traplines within the wood. They seldom adjacent perennial grass fields or across fields. (2) Birds flew directly open woods. More species of birds more frequently than any other habitats. Wood-nesting from well-vegetated into to forage an equal length border. Poorly developed fencerow vegetation restricted foraging by wood-nesters None tree diversity, line intercept measures, dendrograms, foliage height diversity satisfactorily distinguished among structure different fencerows. (3) The results indicate that connect surrounding agricultural mosaic concentrate activity small mammals habitat corridor may relieve isolating effect farmland
