摘要
We assessed association of Northern Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) with surface water (natural and artificial) in the semi-arid Texas Panhandle during May September 2001-2003. The difference between mean Euclidean distances of nest locations (n = 33) and random points to nearest surface water was -107.8 m (SE = 17.4, 95% CL = -142.7 to -72.9) indicating that nest locations were closer to water than expected by chance. Non-nesting birds appeared to associate with surface water during summer (May-Aug) based on differences between location distances of 83 bobwhites (1,408 locations) and random-point distances to nearest surface water ((x) over tilde +/- SE = -62.4 +/- 17.0 m, 95% CL = -96.4 to -28.4). Our results provide evidence that bobwhites may associate with surface water in the semi-arid Texas Panhandle. Received 22 February 2008. Accepted 16 August 2008.
