Effect of forest fragmentation on bird species richness in Papua New Guinea
Original language description
Tropical forests worldwide are being fragmented at a rapid rate, causing a tremendous loss of biodiversity. Determining the impacts of forest disturbance and fragmentation on tropical biotas is therefore a central goal of conservation biology. We focusedon bird communities in the interior (>100 m from forest edge) of forest fragments (300, 600, and 1200 ha) in the lowlands of Papua New Guinea and compared them with those in continuous forest. We surveyed bird communities using point counts, mist-netting, and random walks, and measured habitat and microclimate characteristics at each site. We also surveyed leaf-dwelling arthropods, butterflies, and ants, and obtained diet samples from birds to examine food availability and food preferences. We recordedsignificantly fewer bird species per point in the 300-ha forest fragment than in other study sites. Overall, we recorded 80, 84, and 88 species, respectively, in forest fragments, and 102 in continuous forest. Frugivores (especially larg
