A short note on ecological distribution of tits and goldcrest in Mt. Fuji area in November

Abstract

Census data on five species of tits, Parus ater, montanus, major, varius, and Aegithalos caudatus, and Regulus, recorded at five different places of Mt. Fuji in 3 days in November are analysed. Method of showing, 1) the relative abundance among species in each habitat (based on actual number or relative %), and 2) relative abundance of a species in various habitats (based on no./hour) is presented by using circle graphs. The feeding or moving loci of each species and the specific differences are shown by observed forest layers and tree portions divided into 16 items.
