Appendix C: A list of area sensitive species and key references
A number of wildlife species require large areas of suitable habitat in order to sustain their population numbers. These species, referred to as area sensitive species, are identified in Appendix G. Area sensitive species identified in Appendix G are listed below. A short list of references to scientific literature that are particular to each species is also provided.
The reference list provided in this section is by no means complete. These references are meant to assist the reader in doing a further search of the scientific literature for information about these particular wildlife species and the habitats in which they live.
There are two parts to this appendix. Table 1 has been arranged by Class. A short list of references associated with each species is provided in this table. These references are listed in the reference section that follows Table 1.
The reference section also is arranged by Family and alphabetically by author. This section includes additional references other than those listed in Table 1. The Birds section is subdivided into seven subsections:
- General
- Effects of habitat fragmentation
- Waterfowl and other marsh birds
- Birds associated with grasslands and old fields
- Birds associated with forests
- Woodpeckers
- Raptors
While the majority of bird references listed in Table 1 will be found in subsections 3-7, if an author’s name can not be found in these subsections, check the subsection on effects of habitat fragmentation, particularly for grassland or forest species.
