Bird Species Diversity and Habitat Diversity in Australia and North America
Abstract
Censuses of breeding bird populations in Australia support the conclusion reached in North American studies, that habitat diversity as measured by foliage profile is a good predictor of bird species diversity. The data also indicate that the avifaunas of forest and scrub habitats in the temperate zones of Australia and North America have reached equilibrium and are probably saturated. Equilibrium or saturation levels appear to be independent of the histories and ancestries of the avifaunas concerned.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
