The two forms differ in their habitat selection. While the mainland Citril Finch is rather restricted to high level mountain coniferous forests and alpine meadows (Förschler & Kalko 2006, Förschler et al. 2006), the insular Corsican Finch may be found in different habitats from sea level to the highest mountain slopes (Förschler & Kalko 2006). The Citril Finches nests mainly in conifers such as Pines and Spruces while the Corsican Finch as well in lower bushes such as Tree Heath, Juniper and Bramble (Förschler & Kalko 2006). Habitat (which is Latin for it inhabits) is the place where a particular species lives and grows. ...
