Cuckoo and biodiversity: Testing the correlation between species occurrence and bird species richness in Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The use of biodiversity surrogates is an increasingly popular tool, because it provides strong results while reducing the costs of conservation studies. Here, we hypothesize that cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) occurrence may correlate with high bird species richness based on the assumption that their presence should mirror the richness of their potential avian hosts and the overall bird community. Specifically, we assessed the association between species occurrence and taxonomic diversity patterns on a multi-spatial scale using datasets from seven European countries. Our results show that high bird species richness is a good proxy for cuckoo occurrence, and the best results were based on data from point counts. The species was almost absent at sites with lowspecies richness, suggesting that the presence of cuckoo is an appropriate surrogate of bird biodiversity. The accuracy of the models ranged from 0.68-0.71 (for large spatial scale) to 0.86 (for local spatial scale) and provided valuable
