Morphology

avifaunistic = avifauna (semi-transparent) = avifauna + istic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-istic' to 'avifauna', a clear morphological process, but the base term and formation are specialised technical vocabulary.

Etymology

The word avifaunistic combines avi- meaning 'bird', which you can see in aviation, and fauna meaning 'animals of a place', as in 'flora and fauna', so it means 'relating to the birds of a region or period'.
