A new study has documented shifts
in Hawaiian bird abundance, breeding and molting based on climate-related
changes to native vegetation. Researchers with the US Forest Service's Pacific
Southwest Research Station recently reviewed extensive climate, vegetation and
bird data collected between 1976 and 1982 at a 40-acre monitoring site about 5
miles outside Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on Hawai'i Island. The study is
featured in this month's issue of Ecology.
"You are what you eat"
might give way to "you are when you eat," based on a new study
tracking shifts in Hawaiian bird abundance, breeding and molting based on
climate-related changes to native vegetation.
