All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Habitat use by waterfowl (breeding pairs and broods) of several Utah marshes was studied during 1978 and 1979. A number of ponds found on 5 different marshes located near Great Salt Lake were studied. Perimeter, area, depth, and emergent vegetative type were measured on each pond. Waterfowl use of the ponds was determined using a fixed point observation system. Multiple regression was used to analyze the relationships between the measured habitat variables and waterfowl use.
Area of the pond was the variable most strongly related to both pair and brood use. Perimeter was highly correlated to area, but a calculated …
