Influência da estrutura da vegetação de áreas recuperadas pós-mineração em comunidades de aves no sul do BrasilCommunities of birds and influence of the structure of the vegetation in reclaimed areas after mining in the south of Brazil
(Universidade do Vale do Rio do Sinos, 2009-02-27)
Mining activities cause severe alterations in natural landscapes, changing the vegetation and the properties and topography of the soil, and thus altering habitats and the associated fauna. To minimize the effects of mining, ...
Edge effects as the principal cause of area effects on birds in fragmented secondary forest
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)
Bird communities in tropical forests are strongly affected by both patch area and habitat edges. The fact that both effects are intrinsically confounded in space raises questions about how these two widely reported ecological ...
Effect of fragmentation on the Costa Rican dry forest avifauna
(2016)
Deforestation and changes in land use have reduced the tropical dry forest to isolated forest patches in northwestern Costa Rica. We examined the effect of patch area and length of the dry season on nestedness of the entire ...
Changes in bird assemblages in an afforestation landscape in the Lower Delta of the Paraná River, Argentina
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-10)
Global loss of wetlands has increased significantly in recent years. As a result, many wetlands have experienced changes in biotic communities, including birds. We compare the temporal variation in bird communities and the ...
Influences of succession and erosion on bird communities in a South American highland wooded landscape
(Elsevier Science, 2015-08)
In South American highland forests, domestic grazing can cause major changes in forest structure and soil quality thereby altering resources available to avian communities. However, the consequences of changes in variability ...
Diversity and structure of bird and mammal communities in the Semiarid Chaco Region: response to agricultural practices and landscape alterations
(Imperial College London, Gran Bretaña, 2015-03)
The conversion of land from natural environments to human-managed areas has been particularly pronounced in the semiarid Chaco Region. In this context, it is critical to understand the impacts that these major changes have ...
Effects of fire disturbance on bird communities and species of mountain Serrano Forest of Central Argentina
(Springer Tokyo, 2014-02)
In central Argentina, Serrano forest has a long history of fire disturbance; however, the impact of fire on avifauna remains unknown. We compared the avian?habitat relationships in forest patches with low, moderate, and ...
Thresholds in forest bird communities along woody vegetation gradients in the South American Dry Chaco
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-11)
World-wide, tropical savannas and dry forests are under increasing pressure from land use. The environmental impacts of agricultural expansion into these ecosystems have received much attention, yet subtler changes in ...
Dynamics of the bird communities in two fragments of Atlantic Forest in Sao Paulo, Brazil
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2017-08-01)
Birds can be used as bioindicators to evaluate the quality of a habitat. The objective of this study was to record richness and abundance of bird communities in two semi-deciduous forest fragments in Brazil (Olavo Egydio ...
