Does urbanization affect the seasonal dynamics of bird communities in urban parks?
(Springer, 2016-06)
The environmental factors affecting the spatial dynamics of bird communities in urban parks are well understood, but much less attention has been paid to the seasonal dynamics of bird communities. Since migrant and resident ...
Diversity of understory birds in old stands of native and Eucalyptus plantations
(2015-01-01)
We compared the vegetation structure between old (>70 year) stands of planted diversified native forests and stands of Eucalyptus tereticornis embedded in a mosaic of Eucalyptus stands. We then tested for differences in ...
Predicting the seasonal dynamics of bird communities along an urban-rural gradient using NDVI
(Elsevier Science, 2018-04-23)
The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a strong and widely used proxy for bird species richness in urban environments. However, its potential to predict composition and seasonal dynamics of bird communities ...
Noise and tree species richness modulate the bird community inhabiting small public urban green spaces of a Neotropical city
(2020-01-01)
Abstract: Small public urban green spaces (SPUGS) are important for human life-quality and for maintenance of biodiversity within urban landscapes. However, little is known about how local characteristics and spatial ...
Bird assemblages from western Sierras Grandes and Traslasierra valley in central Argentina: An important area for conservation of Chacoan and mountain birds
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ornitologia, 2018-05)
Between 1970 and 1980, many ornithological prospections were made in Central Argentina. With this work we intend to fill some of the existing gaps regarding such knowledge. We conducted bird surveys in the Central-western ...
Evaluación general de las poblaciones de aves acuáticas de Cuba
(2006)
El presente trabajo hace una evaluación general del estado de las poblaciones de aves acuáticas del archipiélago cubano. The present work makes a general evaluation of the state of the waterbird populations of the Cuban ...
Bird species of black water inundation forests in the Jau National Park (Amazonas state, Brazil): their contribution to regional species richness
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2000-02-01)
We compared the relative contribution of blackwater inundation forest (igapo) and unflooded (terra firme) forest for regional bird species diversity in the lower Rio Negro region. For analyses of habitat preference we used ...

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America
(PeerJ Inc., 2018-12)
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, ...
