Figure 3. Guild-specific density estimates in relation to summer weather, lemming abundance, and landscape metrics.

For each guild (A – songbirds, B – shorebirds, C – geese, D – gulls, E – loons) only variables found to significantly influence the number of individuals observed along transects were used (Table 4). The binomial landscape metrics (low (L) or high (H)) include the proportion of area made up of standing freshwater (water), terrain ruggedness (rugged) and vegetation productivity (NDVI). Note the scale on the density axis is different for each guild. Error bars show the 95% confidence interval around each density estimate.
