Abstract

The article presents a study on the impact of increased predation population brought by human development to the avifauna of the Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of Alaska. It mentions that the growth of human infrastructure in ACP may reduce the population of various tundra bird species. The study uses Cox proportional hazards regression model to examine the effects of infrastructure on nest survival. It suggests further research on demography and the importance of key predators to nest survival.
