Birds are a frequently chosen group for biodiversity monitoring as they comparatively straightforward and inexpensive to sample often perform well ecological indicators. Two commonly used techniques tropical forest bird communities point counts mist nets. General strengths weaknesses of these have been well-defined; however little research has examined how their effectiveness is mediated by the ecology habitats. We examine overall performance methodologies differs between two widely...
We highlight hitherto unreported populations of two globally threatened phalangerid species on south-east Sulawesi’s offshore islands – bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) and small Sulawesi (Strigocuscus celebensis) observations a third range-restricted Peleng pelengensis). Our data are based records made during 11 years seasonal surveys Buton, short-term expeditions to Kabaena Manui. S. celebensis where it occurs in three protected areas, represent an important range extension for this species,...
Background: The West Malagasy dry forests support numerous endemic species and experience heavy anthropogenic pressures, yet remain very poorly studied. Further research is required to understand distributions overall diversity in these threatened forest ecosystems.Objectives: We aimed provide a description of the avifaunal community particular forest, Mariarano north-western Madagascar, as well other habitats that are heavily integrated with Forests. study site possesses highly bird under...
