DIVERSITY OF WATERBIRDS FROM COASTAL AGROECOSYSTEM, CENTRAL KERALA, INDIA

UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2022
Coastal Agroecosystem (Pokkali Farming) has been identified with a high waterbird density. In this study, we analysed the waterbird diversity and their current threats in Pokkali farming during February 2021- January 2022. Bird survey was carried out using the Direct Observation Method, Point Count Method and Line Transect Method. A total of 31 species

Whole‐community facilitation by beaver: ecosystem engineer increases waterbird diversity

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2014
ABSTRACTWetlands are rich in biodiversity, but globally threatened. After a long period of regional extirpation, beavers have recently returned to many European areas and are now restoring wetlands. The beaver is remarkable regarding the large impacts it has not only on individual species but on entire communities and ecosystems.

Waterbird community composition, abundance, and diversity along an urban gradient

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2018
Abstract Urban riparian corridors have the capacity to maintain high levels of bird abundance and biodiversity. How riparian corridors in cities are used by waterbirds has received relatively little focus in urban bird studies. The principal objective of our study was to determine how habitat and landscape elements affect waterbird biodiversity in an

Diversity of wintering waterbirds enhanced by restoring aquatic vegetation at Shengjin Lake, China

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
The restoration of planted vegetation contributes towards improving the habitat quality of waterbirds and enhancing the diversity of their communities. Thus, the success of projects attempting to restore aquatic vegetation could, in part, be quantified by evaluating the community structure of wintering waterbirds.

Study on the Dynamic Change of Waterbird Diversity and Distribution in Xianghai

2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021
Based on the waterfowl survey data from 2005 to 2017 in Xianghai and six habitat variables data, three waterfowl diversity indices have been applied to measure the waterbird diversity in different seasons and landscape types, and the maximum entropy model has been applied to simulate the spatial distribution of three species of waterfowl.

Environmental drivers of waterbird diversity in a world heritage subtropical estuarine system

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2023
This study analyzed how environmental, temporal, and spatial variables influenced the distribution and diversity of waterbird assemblages during the dry and rainy seasons in a subtropical estuarine complex in southern Brazil, a world heritage site.

Wetland habitats supporting waterbird diversity: Conservation perspective on biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship

Journal of Environmental Management
Wetlands, as core habitats for supporting waterbird diversity, provide a variety of ecosystem services through diverse ecosystem functioning. Wetland degradation and wetland-habitat loss undermine the relationship between biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF), affecting the diversity of habitats and waterbirds.

Waterbird diversity, densities, communities and seasonality in the Kalahari Basin, Botswana

Journal of Arid Environments, 1999
Abstract Surveys in all major wetlands in Botswana (52,127 birds of 104 species on 10,672 ha of water and along 1782 km of shoreline) showed that waterbird diversity (from rarefaction) and densities were highest at small ephemeral endorheic pans. Oligotrophic waters in the Okavango Delta had similar diversity, but 10 times lower density. Large saline
