Urban areas may affect the richness of avian species. The abundance and diversity urban landscapes offer breeding habitats nesting resources for urban-adapted In our study, we investigated birds in Fez’s historical city (Morocco). We used line-transects to search nests species, populations, counting sites predicting factors (foraging, resources, urbanization). Furthermore, four green gardens, old walls, farms, forests were prospected birds. Among 13 species including 12 resident-breeders,...

Altitude is one of the determinant factors that influence spatial distribution birds and their species richness. However, few investigations studied its on African bird communities over a wide gradient in North Africa. Considering this knowledge gap, 194 sampling points were carried out along altitudinal (773 to 2595 m) two adjacent mountainous valleys Central High Atlas Beni Mellal Morocco, Aït Bouguemmaz (AB), Ahançal (OA). Each valley was divided into three intervals (low, medium, high...
