This study focused on the significance of urban and peri-urban wetlands in the Martil plain of Tetouan, Morocco, for bird reproduction. Conducted over a two-year period, the research employed fixed-site counting and weekly visits to assess reproductive indicators such as chicks, nests, courtship displays, and territorial defense.

Relationships between recent loss of native species and patch size in a long‐fragmented landscape were weak and variable between land use types, sometimes the reverse of predictions based on island biogeography theory. ABSTRACT Jamie Kirkpatrick argued that biodiversity conservation in fragmented landscapes is hampered by misapplication of island ...

Contrasting Forest Trajectories Drive Changes in Bird Functional Traits
ABSTRACT Aim We investigated how bird functional diversity varies across forest habitat types with distinct successional trajectories, namely (1) natural succession forests, with naturally regenerating forests established on former grasslands; (2) secondary forest remnants resulting from deforestation; and (3) conserved forests.

Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

This study explores how habitat structure and seasonal variation shape bird diversity in the Tara Gedam Monastery church forest of Ethiopia. Across wet and dry seasons, 94 species were recorded, with abundance higher in the wet season but diversity remaining stable, underscoring the forest's role as a perennial refuge.
