The distribution, abundance and diversity of birds in Manila's last greenspaces

Dusting-off the file: A review of knowledge on urban ornithology in Latin America

“…Latin American urban parks often represent fairly similar habitat structure in relation to that of natural habitats, leading to species-rich urban-dwelling bird communities (Scherer et al, 2005). Within tropical regions, natural habitat remnants within University campuses have been identified as crucial for maintaining species-rich bird communities (Lopes and dos Anjos, 2006), including both endemic and endangered species (Vallejo et al, 2009).…”

Identifying the spatial mixture distribution of bird diversity across urban and suburban areas in the metropolis: A case study in Taipei Basin of Taiwan

“…TWINSPAN is a divisive polythetic classification that utilizes a reciprocal averaging algorithm to successively divide sites and species into smaller clusters (Hobson & Bayne, 2000;Morimoto, Katoh, Yamaura, & Watanabe, 2006;Vallejo, Aloy, & Ong, 2009). Sites are clustered based on the similarity of the avian communities, and species are clustered based on the similarity of their habitat preferences (Hobson & Bayne, 2000).…”

The Efficiency of Indices of Richness, Evenness and Biodiversity in the Investigation of Species Diversity Changes (Case Study: Migratory Water Birds of Parishan International Wetland, Fars Province, Iran)

“…This relationship was obtained by Alvarez & Fors. 17 It is concluded that richness index alone is not suitable enough to investigate the biodiversity of waterbirds in the study area. Beside richness and evenness, the biodiversity of birds is calculated in some researches.…”

“…3,4,8,[16][17][18] The diversity of aquatic birds was also performed in some wetlands in Iran. [19][20][21][22][23] The most suitable index and method of biodiversity evaluation is not mentioned in these researches.…”
