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 ...
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 ...
Traffic noise affects forest bird species in a protected tropical forest
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2011)
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 ...
Use and importance of crop and field-margin habitats for birds in a Neotropical agricultural ecosystem
(Oxford University Press, 2010-05)
The Neotropical Region has experienced large habitat transformations as a result of intensified agriculture. These changes have affected the populations of many species of birds in the Espinal ecoregion of Argentina. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Alternative silvicultural practices with variable retention improve bird conservation in managed South Patagonian forests
(Elsevier Science, 2009-01)
Alternative silvicultural approaches to timber management, such as regeneration treatments with different degrees of stand retention, may mitigate negative effects of clear-cutting or shelterwood cuts in forested ecosystems, ...
Livestock grazing constrains bird abundance and species richness: a global meta-analysis
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-11)
Balancing food production and biodiversity conservation is a global challenge today. Livestock grazing is one of the main activities triggering habitat degradation and land-use change around the world. Its effects on ...
