“…Our study confirms this in savannah grasslands, as urban avoider and utiliser communities in had a positive relationship with greenspace coverage, suggesting that greenspaces act as a refuge for some less tolerant species in urban areas, emphasising the importance of a heterogeneous landscape with areas of native vegetation for their survival in human landscapes (McKinney, 2002). Other studies have reported similar patterns for urban bird species worldwide (Chamberlain et al, 2007;Chang et al, 2017;Chang and Lee, 2016;Ferenc et al, 2016;Imai and Nakashizuka, 2010;Jokimäki, 1999).…”

“…Based on the results of this study, both on-site variables and the buffered at 100 meters scale were able to describe the response of both the species and the feeding guild to the spatial variation of the habitat factors. This result was not unexpected, and numerous studies found clear that many birds respond to local scale habitat variables when they are selected for breeding habitat (Chang et al 2017;Yu et al 2019). In our study area, most bird species are small, which may utilize a narrowly specific habitat in a small area, such as Hainan Blue Flycatcher, Black-napped Monarch, Grey-headed Canary-flycatcher, Pied Fantail, Common tailorbird, Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, and Olive-backed Sunbird.…”

Abstract. Chaleekarn W, Duengkae P, Pongcharoen C, Sutummawong N, Nakmuenwai P, Siripin S, Chirachitmichi C, Kummoo W, Paansri P, Suksavate W. 2022. Effect of environmental factors at multiple landscape scales on bird community in riparian ecosystem at Mun-Chi River confluence, Thailand. Biodiversitas 23: 5194-5204. Wetland and riparian ecosystem is an important migratory stopover for land and water birds in the East Asian - Australasian Flyway. Understanding relationship patterns between bird communities and environmental factors at multi-spatial scales within a landscape context could contribute to the conservation and management of bird biodiversity in wetland ecosystems. The landscape metrics index is critical in revealing the relationship between the composition of bird communities and habitats at both local and landscape scales. This study aims to determine the effect of the environmental factors at different designated spatial scales on the composition of local bird communities in terms of species and feeding guilds. Our study conducted a bird survey using 227-point transects along 40 tracks across different land cover types surrounding the Mun-Chi River confluence. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was used to quantify the association between bird communities, represented by species and feeding guilds, and environmental factors with the integration of multilevel habitat metrics. From the results, the CCA showed patterns of the community-environmental association at multiple scales of patch, class, and landscape characteristics with the proportional explanation of 54% and 61.82% for the composition of species and feeding guilds, respectively. The results indicated the premise that the majority of bird species respond to the habitat at the local scale. Large forest patches can maintain migratory and resident bird species. Moreover, most avian groups were arranged primarily in a large forest core area, forest area, and Shrubland PA. The results confirmed existing information on feeding guilds. The prediction map of the principal component of avian species composition was created from the association with the drivers of land use, including crops, perennial farmland, and water body on the edge of forests. Therefore, wetland management must be done at both local and landscape scales to preserve suitable avian habitats.

“…Therefore, assessment of avian biodiversity can shed light on the impact of land use management and urban planning on biodiversity. Previous studies have demonstrated that urban parks and green spaces can improve avian biodiversity (Aida et al 2016;Aronson et al 2014;Barth et al 2015;Beninde et al 2015;Chang et al 2017;Filazzola et al 2019;Ortega-Álvarez and MacGregor-Fors 2009). Similarly, higher building densities and larger areas of impervious surfaces are associated with lower avian diversity.…”

In the context of increasing urbanization, preserving urban biodiversity has become a priority because biodiversity appears to be a key element when evaluating the well-being of urban residents. Recently, urban management has relied on a 'renaturing' strategy to improve biodiversity, but the benefits of these policies remain debated. In this study, we evaluated the effects of urban land use and green corridors on (1) urban avian biodiversity, and (2) the presence of the most common (top 70%) and least common (bottom 30%) bird species. We surveyed bird diversity at 102 sites during the Spring in a small French city, and performed a PCA on several habitat structures (e.g. roads, houses, grassy areas) to determine the level of urbanization of each site. Then, we tested with GLMMs the effects of land use (PC1), distance to the edge of the city, and distance to the corridor on bird diversity. We found a positive effect of green infrastructures on bird species richness, and this effect was reinforced by the proximity to the green corridor. Thus, bird species richness and the presence of common species were positively impacted by the presence of green areas, the proximity to the city edge and the proximity to the green corridor. The presence of the green corridor contributed significantly to the presence of rare species, which emphasizes its role in promoting avian biodiversity. Green corridors are a key element of the urban landscape because they allow less common species to colonize cities, and thus enhance urban biodiversity.
