metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: We studied avian populations and distribution patterns on 20 islands in Onega
  Bay, White Sea, with transect surveys completed to register selected biotic and
  abiotic factors in July 2020. Bird population densities proved to be the highest
  on small secluded islands rarely visited by humans and on treeless islands. We
  also found positive correlations between the species richness and the island
  size, presence of woody vegetation, and human visitation. It is noteworthy that
  although human interference can cause species diversity on the islands to increase,
  the relative abundance of birds declined. Furthermore, species diversity
  increased due to the arrival of species atypical of this region and, hence,
  lacking the complete set of requisite adaptations. Further human pressure on
  the islands can eventually destabilise their avifaunal complexes and aggravate
  the current transformation of northern communities in response to climate
  change.
