The relative contributions of habitat structure and composition to biodiversity are often scale-dependent. Although bird communities in boreal forest have been largely altered and threatened by forest harvesting, bird habitat selection in this ecosystem has not been fully understood.

Birds meet the energy and nutrient demands of egg formation by using dietary (exogenous) sources, somatic (endogenous) nutrients, or combinations of both. Therefore, understanding plasticity in resource acquisition and the allocation strategies that are used is important for predicting how ecosystem changes across a species- range could affect vital rates.

Organisms that reproduce in temperate regions have limited time to produce offspring successfully, and this constraint is expected to be more pronounced in areas with short growing seasons.

The western boreal forest (WBF) is the second most important duck breeding area in North America. Once thought to be relatively pristine, WBF habitat is undergoing rapid change due to industrial activity (e.g., commercial forestry, oil and gas exploration/extraction, agricultural expansion) and climate change.
