The influence of habitat structure on bird species composition in lowland malaysian rain forests.

Understorey bird responses to the edge-interior gradient in an isolated tropical rainforest of Malaysia

Forest fragmentation results in a loss of forest interior and an increase in edge habitat. We studied how understorey bird community composition and habitat variables changed along an edge-to-interior gradient in a 1248-ha lowland rainforest patch in peninsular Malaysia. Birds and environmental variables such as vegetation structure and litter depth were detected within a 25-m radius of each of...

The relationship between the floristic composition of rain forests and the abundance of folivorous marsupials in north-east Queensland

(2003) The relationship between the floristic composition of rain forests and the abundance of folivorous marsupials in northeast Queensland. Summary 1. Three species of folivorous ringtail possums (Marsupialia: Pseudocheiridae) inhabit higher elevation rain forests on the Atherton Tablelands, northeast Queensland, Australia. Each possum is thought to specialise on a restricted suite of host pl...

The effects of habitat fragmentation on bird communities in Hyrcanian forests (Case study: Gorgan Township)

Integrating Multiple Datasets for the Remote Quantification of Woodland Bird Habitat Quality

Vegetation structure influences habitat selection for woodland birds and is a key component determining habitat quality. At Scandlaser 2003, and elsewhere, we have demonstrated the application of airborne LiDAR data for organism-habitat modelling. In this paper we review the results of our pilot study which focussed on two species of tits, Great Tit Parus major and Blue Tit Parus caeruleus, in ...

تأثیر اندازه و شکل لکه‌های درخت‌زار ‌بر غنا و تنوع گونه‌ای پرندگان در منطقه حفاظت شده کرکس

  Determining landscape parameters influencing species richness of habitat patches is one of the most important issues in conservation biology. Many previous studies have investigated the influence of habitat parameters on bird assemblages in forest patches, but studies seeking effects of oasis parameters on bird assemblages are very scarce. Karkas Protected Area is located in semi-arid zone in...
