Measurement of diversity indices of avian communities at Taunsa Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary, Pakistan. (2013, background): “As vegetation changes along multifaceted biological and environmental gradients, a particular bird species can appear, increase or decrease in number, and vanish as the habitat changes (Lee and Rotenberry, 2005).”
Spatial patterns of woody plant and bird diversity: functional relationships or environmental effects? (2008, background): “Third, hypothesis 2 (vegetation structure hypothesis) predicts a relatively strong positive plant–animal correlation regardless of whether plants are food resources for animals or not (e.g. Lee & Rotenberry, 2005).”
Changes in potential habitat of 147 North American breeding bird species in response to redistribution of trees and climate following predicted climate change (2011, background): “Furthermore, in the eastern United States, assemblages of bird and tree species have been positively linked (Lee and Rotenberry 2005), and individual tree species data have been successfully used to model regional patterns of bird abundance (Matthews et al. 2004, Fearer et al. 2007).”
