Abstract
Through dam-building activity, beavers (Castor canadensis) play an important role in creating pond and wetland habitat for bird communities. Their impact may be intensified in semiarid landscapes and may increase with increasing dam density on a stream. This study examines the relationships between dam density, riparian area characteristics, and the riparian bird community in a semiarid landscape.
