USING LOUISIANNA WATERTHRUSH (Parkesia motacilla) AND AQUATIC INSECT METRICS TO GAUGE PRODUCTIVITY IN TWO EASTERN HEMLOCK HABITATS
Barnes KB. 2014. USING LOUISIANNA WATERTHRUSH (Parkesia motacilla) AND AQUATIC INSECT METRICS TO GAUGE PRODUCTIVITY IN TWO EASTERN HEMLOCK HABITATS
Louisianna waterthrush breeding density and productivity (nestlings fledged/km stream reach) were found to be greater on hemlock forest benches than in headwater ravines. Bench pairs typically raised double broods. No differences between territory size, clutch size or nesting chronology was detected.
