optimal & nest area
optimal
problems: 1) is ^nest habitat the same as optimal
dp habitat, and therefore the
difference is in good vs. bad marsh
habitat rather than near v. far from
display areas?
(How do you measure that?)
2) ?? repeat nest locations (but note same
loc is frequently occupied by diff ??)
Test: place nests w/ quail eggs at
intervals from display areas, monitor
time to fail. 30m 60m 90m ?
- 1 treatment set @ each d/splay
area
- 20 display areas total (?=60)
- measure habitat var's around
nests to be sure no diff.
- Block exp nest sites (wk b/f, +
put out nests (?)
- place at average ht (1.1m?)
- make nests from real marshland nests.
3) This means I have to find 20 areas that
are at least 180 m from other areas...
