Specialization in habitat use by coral reef damselfishes and their susceptibility to habitat loss
While it is generally assumed that specialist species are more vulnerable to disturbance compared with generalist counterparts, this has rarely been tested in coastal marine ecosystems, which are increasingly subject to a wide range of natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Habitat specialists are expected to be more vulnerable to habitat loss because habitat availability exerts a greater limi...
متن کاملResponses of Breeding Bird Communities to Forest Fragmentation
Field studies in eastern North America indicate that local densities of most forest-dwelling bird species are directly or indirectly influenced by forest insularization. Relevant site variables among those measured include patch area and isolation, tree stature and density, and development of herbaceous and shrub understorey. In general, highly migratory species that specialize on forest-interi...
متن کاملBird assemblages in a Malagasy forest-agricultural frontier: effects of habitat structure and forest cover
Increasing global human population and per-capita food consumption are expected to exacerbate the already massive agricultural footprint in tropical ecosystems. Madagascar is home to exceptional levels of biodiversity and is in the midst of severe land-use change, mostly driven by slash-and-burn, smallholder agriculture. Understanding the consequences of these agricultural practices for Malagas...
متن کاملMigratory Strategy and Seasonal Patterns of Bird Diversity in Relation to Forest Habitat
Ci.—Aspen stands and riparian areiis are important to breeding birds in ihe southwestern U.S. because they provide tesources such as food atid shelter. We investigated how this importance varies throughoul the year for bolh resident and migratory birds. We sampled hitds in 96 sites, half in small isolated aspen stands and half in the ponderosa pine forest in northern Ariirona thiring tlie sumiu...
متن کاملChanges in Patch Features May Exacerbate or Compensate for the Effect of Habitat Loss on Forest Bird Populations
One and a half centuries after Darwin visited Chiloe Island, what he described as "…an island covered by one great forest…" has lost two-thirds of its forested areas. At this biodiversity hotspot, forest surface is becoming increasingly fragmented due to unregulated logging, clearing for pastures and replacement by exotic tree plantations. Decrease in patch size, increased isolation and "edge e...
