Differential Consumption of Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) by Avian and Mammalian Guilds: Implications for Tree Invasion
To complete this week’s discussion, I chose the article “Differential Consumption of Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) by Avian and Mammalian Guilds: Implications for Tree Invasion” from the journal, The American Midland Naturalist. I chose this article because my course project is on Eastern Red Cedar and I was interested in learning more about my research topic. I located this article by searching Eastern Red Cedar in the APUS library and the library indicated that the article had been peer reviewed and cited in several other scientific papers. In addition, The American Midland Naturalist journal is published by Notre Dame University, and was founded in 1909 by Reverend Julius A. Nieuwland, CSC (Notre Dame University). I would consider this article to be a credible source of information on Eastern Red Cedar because the journal is published by a reputable school, the article has been peer reviewed, and the article has been cited in other peer reviewed articles.
