K. Bohninggaese, POPULATION-DYNAMICS IN MIGRATORY AVIAN CO MMUNITIES AT DIFFERENT SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SCALES, Journal fur Ornithologie, 136(2), 1995, pp. 149-158
The dynamics of migratory avian communities were compared over differe
nt spatial and temporal scales using data from the Mettnau-Reit-Illmit
z migratory bird trapping program. Bird species that had similar year-
to-year population fluctuations did not have similar long-term populat
ion trends. Species that had similar population dynamics at one trappi
ng station only rarely exhibited similar dynamics at any of the other
trapping stations.
