Nest niche overlap among the endangered Vinaceous-breasted Parrot (Amazona vinacea) and sympatric cavity-using birds, mammals, and social insects in the subtropical Atlantic Forest, Argentina [PDF]
Many forest bird species require tree cavities for nesting, and share this resource with a diverse community of animals. When cavities are limited, niche overlap can result in interspecific competition, with negative consequences for threatened ...

Range‐restricted species are poor proxies for functional diversity in the world's largest avifauna
We assessed the relationship between avian taxonomic richness (four metrics) and functional diversity (three metrics) across Colombia, the country with the most bird species. We found total species richness and threatened species richness to be suitable proxies for both functional richness and evenness. Protecting the eastern slope of the Eastern Andes
