Eversity Index Analysis: Natural Vs. Logging Areas
1) Natural VS Logging areas The results of the diversity index analysis show that the NF area is the highest (H' = 1.57). The minor is the MD area (H' = 1.55) and the HD area (H' = 1.37), respectively. The LD area is the lowest (H' = 1.35). This is consistent with Edward et al.’s report (2011) who studied about degraded lands that are worth protecting: the biological importance of Southeast Asia's repeatedly logged forests found logging had little effect on the overall richness of birds in the once-logging. The species composition of bird communities was altered, particularly after the second logging rotation. The logging impacts on the habitat of the birds fall. Logging had reduced the habitat of birds. However, Lindenmayer D.B. (47) who …show more content…
The use of artificial nest birds in Kroeng Kra Wia Forest Plantation, the only found common bird species is Oriental Magpie Robin whose nests are in the nesting. The behavior of the three artificial nests is that birds did not lay eggs. There are reports that cause dummy and abandoned empty nests. Birds often check out several locations before deciding on which one they will use to raise their families. Sometimes a nest is started or even completed, but not used. This can be disappointing for the are monitor who was looking for some real actions in that box. Here are probable reasons: (53) Dummy Nests: A dummy nest is an egg less nest which is not used for breeding and usually built by the males. Some males build true "dummy" nests in a number of cavities within their territory. These may offer female some choices. She chooses the cavity she wants to use and then reconstructs the nest in that location. Paired boxes: When two boxes are near each other, sometimes a Swallow Tree or Bluebird will build a partial or complete nest in the neighboring box. This is probably because they can't decide which box they will use (see indecision), or it may deter other birds from nesting in the second …show more content…
The study area has the opportunity to increase bird diversity and abundance as the plant growth and trunk is larger. The birds thus came into utilization increased. Webb, Olson (56) reported that positive factors that attract birds to come to nesting are shrub canopy, distance to natural gas and mesic areas. But the negative factors are the distance to roads, maximum wind speed, and precipitation. However, abundance food resources have been posited as an explanation for the increase of animal species richness in tropical habitats

    The eggs are a bluish-white, and the clutch is composed of one to five eggs. Both the male and the female incubate the eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the female tends the hatch lings and the male searches for food. After six weeks, the chicks begin leaving the nest for short flights. For the following ten weeks, they continue to depend on their parents while they learn to fly and to hunt…

    The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) is one of the two-hundred species of Woodpecker, as well as the rarest. The RCW is approximately seven inches long, around the same size as a Cardinal. They have a wingspan of about 15 inches. Their back is has white and black horizontal stripes. The thing that makes these Woodpeckers so distinctive is its “black cap”. A RCW has a black head, with white cheeks, and depending on its sex will or will not have a red stripe on the side of its head. As a young male, the red stripe will be in the center of its black head and around mid-april the red will disappear and move to the side of its head, while females will always lack the red stripe.RCW’s thrive in the longleaf pine forest ecosystems in the southeastern…

From this discussion Brian concludes that the father pigeon places the baby in the egg and the baby pigeons grow while the mother pigeon is laying the egg. When the baby pigeon grows as much as it needs to grow, it hatches out of the egg. This explanation leaves Brian quite confused and uninformed of nature's way to reproduce.…

    They need a great deal of space from other pairs of Macaws. In the wild, Macaw Parrots do not have a high reproductive rate because the time it takes to raise a baby is a lot. Moreover, closely connected with the process of deforestation is the loss of nesting places for the birds which causes the birds to root lower; this low nesting enables predators to get their babies more easily. If they were nested higher, they would never become a subject to…

    Due to their large size oak trees become shelters and nesting sites to very many wildlife species, so if one were to remove or decrease availability of these oak trees then one might expect the abundance of the animals that use oak trees as a home would decline as well. In this experiment, we will be testing whether or not the availability of oak trees in an environment will affect the distribution and abundance of robins.…
