Seasonal habitat use and selection of Chukars in west central Idaho

摘要: We examined radio-marked Chukar ( Alectoris chukar ) habitat use and selection in west central Idaho during spring summer of 1995 1996. Use habitats also was compared with abundance distribution yellow starthistle Centaurea solstitialis ), an exotic species that is increasingly abundant habitats. During Chukars used areas southeast aspect 12% less P = 0.002) northwest 11% more 0.008) than spring. averaged 9% steeper slopes 0.054) Shrub cover types were 22% < 0.05) expected, implicating the detrimental effects this plant on Chukars.
