Foraging guild structure within a primeval mixed forest bird assemblage: a comparison of two concepts

Original language description

Two basic concepts of guild definition were developed in community ecology that enable simplification of complex communities or ecosystems into structural building blocks of species with similar niches. Root defined guild as a group of species utilisingthe same environmental resources by a similar foraging method. MacMahon et al. Simplified the original definition even more by excluding a foraging method. This concept is focused on utilisation patterns of resources by species regardless the purpose ofuse. Our objectives were: (1) to test guild structure within a model ecosystem from matrices reflecting the differences between the two concepts, (2) to compare guild patterns detected by the two concepts, (3) to test whether the mixed forest ecosystem consists of significantly different groups of species representing deciduous and coniferous faunal elements. The study was conducted in a primeval beech-fir forest in NW Slovakia during 1997?2000. In total, 26 bird species were used for fu

Struktura potravních gild ve smíšeném ptačím společenstvu: srovnání dvou konceptů

Czech description

Práce se zabývá uskupením ptačího společenstva do gild na základě aplikace dvou teoretických přístupů. Jejich srovnáním bylo zjištěno, že oba koncepty produkují odlišné uskupení ptačích druhů, ale na druhé straně oba ukazují značně podobnou interpretacienvironmentálních proměnných zodpovědných za segregaci druhů do jednotlivých typů gild.
