The relative importance of environment, human activity and space in explaining species richness of South African bird orders

2008-02-01

Abstract excerpt

To assess the relative importance of environmental (climate, habitat heterogeneity and topography), human (population density, economic prosperity and land transformation) and spatial (autocorrelation) influences, and the interactions between these predictor groups, on species richness patterns of various avifaunal orders. South Africa. Generalized linear models were used to determine the amount of variation in sp...
