The influence of vegetation on bird distribution in dry forests and oak woodlands of western Mexico.
The bird species distribution along a dry forest-oak woodland vegetation gradient was studied in autumn and spring in two consecutive years. Intra-seasonal comparisons showed that bird species had similar distributions in each of the two years. Inter-seasonal changes were mainly due to compositional differences even though resident species generally used similar habitats in both seasons. Ordina...
متن کاملInsects in fragmented forests: a functional approach.
Insects are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of forest fragmentation. It is now beyond any doubt that fragmentation-induced changes in abundance and species richness occur in many insect groups. However, the study of insects in fragmented forests is still in its infancy and lacks real direction. Simple empirical studies are not answering the questions we most want to answer about fragm...
متن کاملTheory meets reality in fragmented forests
For those of us who study fragmented ecosystems, island biogeographic theory (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967) is still in many ways the conceptual Mecca towards which we face when thinking about imperiled biodiversity. The theory posits that species richness results from a dynamic equilibrium between the opposing forces of colonization and extinction, which are governed respectively by island isolati...
متن کاملCaspian Coastal Forests: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Understory Vegetation
Moist and temperate Caspian forests are associated with a diversity of soil types and topography. Although, natural history and ecological attributes of the Caspian vegetation is well-documented, little is known about mycorrhizae of the Caspian (Hyrcanian) flora. Samples of herbaceous plant species were collected from 4 pre-determined altitudes (-13 upto about 1500m above sea level, appro...
متن کاملPredation of experimental nests is linked to local population dynamics in a fragmented bird population.
Artificial nest experiments (ANEs) are widely used to obtain proxies of natural nest predation for testing a variety of hypotheses, from those dealing with variation in life-history strategies to those assessing the effects of habitat fragmentation on the persistence of bird populations. However, their applicability to real-world scenarios has been criticized owing to the many potential biases ...
