Regional forest fragmentation and the nesting success of migratory birds.
Forest fragmentation, the disruption in the continuity of forest habitat, is hypothesized to be a major cause of population decline for some species of forest birds because fragmentation reduces nesting (reproductive) success. Nest predation and parasitism by cowbirds increased with forest fragmentation in nine midwestern (United States) landscapes that varied from 6 to 95 percent forest cover ...
متن کاملConservation Biology: Predicting Birds' Responses to Forest Fragmentation
Understanding species' ecological responses to habitat fragmentation is critical for biodiversity conservation, especially in tropical forests. A detailed recent study has shown that changes in the abundances of bird species following fragmentation may be dramatic and unpredictable.

متن کاملSearching for bioindicators of forest fragmentation: passerine birds in the Atlantic forest of southeastern Brazil.
Aiming to evaluate the potential of Passerine birds as bioindicators of forest fragmentation, we studied the avifauna in the mountain region of the state of Rio de Janeiro by mist-netting between 2001 and 2005. We sampled six sites, including four small fragments (from 4 to 64 ha) in an agricultural area (Teresópolis), one second-growth forest (440 ha - Miguel Pereira) and a continuous forest (...

The aims o f this study were ( 1 ) to determine the relative importance o f the independent effects o f forest cover and fragmentation on the distribution o f forest breeding birds, and ( 2 ) to test the hypothesis that the negative ef fect o f forest fragmentation on species distribution increases with decreasing forest cover, i.e., the negative interaction ef fect o f forest cover and fragmen...
