Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine what small- and large-scale landscape features within and around a golf course are important to particular species of birds. 2. Determine what small- and large-scale landscape features within and around a golf course are important to particular species of butterflies. 3. Compare and contrast these two taxa to see if design guidelines can be developed to increase the number of native species of both of these groups at golf courses. 4. Compare and contrast the contribution of small-scale and large-scale landscape features in preserving native bio-diversity. 5. Develop guidelines for golf course design for both birds and butterflies at both small- and large-scale levels." This three year study began in 2000.

USGA Summary Points:Researchers are determining bird and butterfly distribution and abundance on six golf courses using scientifically established procedures. Researchers are analyzing the data to determine which landscape features are best predictors of bird and butterfly distribution and abundance. The principle benefit to the golf course industry of this project will be the development of scientifically defensible, golf course design guidelines that conserve native species.
