Songbird and medium-sized mammal communities associated with exurban development in Pitkin County, Colorado

A research was conducted in the exurban development of Pitkin County, Colorado to understand the effects it has on ecology. It is recommended that from an ecological standpoint, it is preferable to cluster houses and leave the undeveloped areas in open space instead of having houses dispersed across the entire landscape.
