Human Activity Affects Bird Assemblages

Everything that we do has an impact on our surroundings. It just varies depending on what we do and where we are, but there's still an impact nonetheless.

Sadly, human activities put a great toll on the environment. Many marine ecosystems, forest ecosystems, and the like have been destroyed due to continuous damage made by humans. Another kind of system that is less reported but equally damaged are bird assemblages.

A recent study was made to find out the effect of human activities on coastal marine bird assemblages. Read the abstract and order the paper here in Cat.Inist
