Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of insects causing fatal diseases in songbirds at lower altitudes is a likely biotic factor limiting songbird distribution in Hawaii to alpine habitats. This is because the absence of these insects in alpine habitats provides a more favorable environment for songbirds to thrive. Temperature, oxygen content, and moisture are abiotic factors that can also impact bird distribution but are not specific to the presence of songbird-limiting factors in lower altitudes.
