| Abstract/Contents: | "When suburban housing developments replace the coastal sagescrub community in southern California, both the amount of cover and the diversity of vegetation are increased. Despite the elimination of the grounddwelling bird species associated with the coastal sage, the diversity of birds in the suburbs is about the same as that formerly found in the area and their number has increased. This is due to the movement into the suburbs of birds normally found in the wooded canyons of the local foothills and to the appearance of those species that frequent developed areas." |
