Background Habitat heterogeneity clearly distinguished in terms of availability of food and
habitat resources and landscape features (natural or human-modified) play a crucial role in …

The Himalayas are a global hotspot for bird diversity with a large number of threatened
species, but little is known about seasonal changes in bird communities along elevational …

A critical design component of studies measuring diversity is sampling effort. Allocation of
sampling effort dictates how many sites can be sampled within a particular time-frame or …

Background Patterns of biological diversity and richness can vary along the elevational
gradients among mountain systems making it difficult to conclude the general pattern. The …

Wetland diversity metrics are critical indicators of habitat carrying capacity and
anthropogenic disturbance on ecosystem health. This study aimed at comparing the …

Land-use sprawl in the Himalayas has caused the conversion of natural habitat into human-
modified habitats, thus degrading ecosystem health. Adaptation of birds to changing …

In landscapes where tropical dry forest was once the dominant vegetation type, traditional
silvopastoral systems generate a range of natural and semi-natural habitats, namely …

Species extinctions caused by the destruction and degradation of tropical primary forest may
be at least partially mitigated by the expansion of regenerating secondary forest. However …

Resumen YASIN, Hussen y TEKALIGN, Wondimagegnehu. A study of composition and
diversity variation of avifauna along with different types of agroforestry system in Kibet town …

West African birds have been declining due to intensive deforestation, yet how bird
communities respond to such habitat modification remains understudied in this region. We …
