There are several ecological processes and factors which are relevant to my hypothesis. The abundance and variety of bird species observed at each of the three locations will be affected by several influences. The ideas that unpin my research include:
- Which indisputably granivorous birds are native to the area
- The disturbances caused by hikers along the trail
- The diversity and abundance of birds in relation to forest fragmentation
- Temperature, precipitation, and other weather conditions which may affect behaviour
- Makeup of birds present when considering migratory and sedentary species
- Presence of predators at feeders
Keywords that I could use to describe my research project include indisputably granivorous birds, bird predators, aves, ornithology, and recreational path.
