Purpose

Data were collected to document changes in the resource use and physical condition of birds due to a rare but massive outbreak of koa moths at Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge, an important area for bird conservation in Hawaii. Resource managers will be better able to understand forest bird community function and resiliency in the aftermath of this major ecological perturbation.
