Shade coffee farms in southwest Ethiopia are known to host high levels of avian biodiversity. However, these vary terms forest management, which affects their understory, mid-story, crown cover, and canopy closure, hence structural complexity. Such differences vegetation structure can potentially affect the survival specialist bird species, shade may not equally contribute biodiversity conservation. This study aimed investigate how community composition, richness, relative abundance...
Shade coffee farming has been promoted as a means of combining sustainable production and biodiversity conservation. Supporting this idea, similar levels diversity abundance birds have found in shade natural forests. However, are not always good indicators habitat quality because there may be lag before population effects observed following conversion. Therefore, other should tested. In paper, we investigate the use two biomarkers: fluctuating asymmetry (FA) tarsus length rectrix mass,...
We investigated bird species richness and feeding guilds in two contrasting habitat types i.e. forest developed areas Muallim district of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia. Field surveys were conducted by using point-count observation along transects mist-netting methods to determine the presence areas. There 28 birds from 23 families found these habitats, where 13 15 The was similar between urbanized habitats. Forest mainly frugivores frugivore-insectivores whereas those insectivore-granivores...
