Abstract
This study aims to analyze sex ration among common species in Northern Lower Michigan using mist netting data and to gain a greater understanding of why biases may occur. This is significant because it differs from the expected 1:1 sex ratio normally seen in animal populations. This study will also give insight into some unique behaviors of the targeted populations. In analysis of bird populations of Northern Michigan, data collected from mist netting will be used. The mist netting operation in Pellston, MI is part of Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship Program (MAPS) created to assess and monitor the vital rates and population dynamics of Morth American avian species in order to provide critical conservation and management information on their populations.Types
