Variation within the Bird Community of a Rehabilitated Urban Environment, Case of the Félix Houphouët-Boigny University Campus (Côte d'Ivoire)

In order to understand the ecological impact of rehabilitation Félix Houphouët-Boigny University Campus on bird community, a study was carried out over two months (October-November 2016). The ornithological inventory by IPA method in five different habitats identified campus gave total species richness 51 41 genera, 27 families and 13 orders for 1374 birds, with H' = 2.93 J 0.74. Five dominate population (819 individuals, Fr 59, 61%). These are Bubulcus ibis (9.32 %), Apus affinis (8.95 Corvus albus (19.94 Ploceus cucullatus (10.48 Lonchura cucullata (10.92 %). most diversified habitat is Habitations (26 species), while abundant Brush (416 individuals). Only seven common all sampled habitats. Thus, 12 observed formerly could not be during present study. Similarly, 18 this were previous profound transformation environment following has led slight increase diversity but significant drop numbers. It therefore important better interactions between components various involved. Such data would crucial urban planning policies.
