Comparison of avian assemblage structures in two upper montane forests of the Cameroon volcanic line: lessons for bird conservation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Cameroon volcanic line montane forests host specific avian assemblages with many endemic species. Such unique bird assemblages deserve adequate description for proper protection. For this purpose, we sampled birds in the upper montane forests of MtsCameroon and Oku situated at similar to 2,250 m. We combined point counts and continuous observations to describe species composition and estimate densities of particular species. In total, we recorded 106 species; 45 only on Mt Oku, 21 only on Mt Cameroon, and 40 common to both mountains. The higher species richness on Mt Oku was due to non-forest species that invade the forest interior due to recent human disturbance. Endemic species of the Cameroon volcanic line and montane non-endemic species had higher abundances than widespread species in general. As a result, we did not find a positive abundance-range-size relationship for both locations. Our findings support a previously made observation that montane species of the Cameroon volc
