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…

    Another method, called hacking, is a procedure adapted from the sport of falconry, and it was particularly successful in New York State, where only one unproductive pair of eagles was nesting in 1970. At eight weeks of age, nestling eaglets, many flown in from nests in Alaska, were placed on man-made towers located in remote areas. Biologists stayed hidden while providing them with food, and released them when they became able to fly. By the 1990s, there were 20 nesting pairs in New York, many of them around New York City's reservoir system in the Catskills.…

The female will lay 1 egg, and she will sit on it until it hatches in 48 to 53 days. The baby chicks are white when they hatch. They usually fledge in 96 to 113 days.

    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…

    With the continued research of the NABPP and the help of volunteers, we are able to understand the change in the migrational patterns of these birds and we are one step closer to solving the issue at hand. After researching this project, I am able to conclude that Barn Swallows are attracted to areas of warm temperature and a climate that encourages breeding. These locations act as grounds that offer materials to build nest and the females lay their eggs with other female Barn Swallows protecting the eggs and soon to be nestlings. I am definitely not surprised about the results due to the extended damage humans have had on planet Earth. As the human population continues to grow, the Earth crumples and the availability of natural resources continues to decrease. The population of other species, including Barn Swallows, have been impacted by the human impact on Earth. Climate change is a consequence that we continue to face due to the weakening of the Earth. Birds will continue to experience change and migrational differences if climate change continues to be hindered. If this was my Project, I would continue to use volunteer observations because it offers diverse sources to analysis. Being that the question at hand was concerning migrational patterns and population status of the birds, I would add the following questions: “Does the diet of the birds cause migrational change?” “Does…

    Brian has difficulty grasping this fact and asks his father for help. Brian's father unwillingly provides information on this matter which results in a brief but not detailed discussion. 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.…

    Now, as the process of tropical deforestation progresses, the population of these amazing Macaw Parrots is decreasing because they are greatly dependent upon these very forests to provide them with food and nesting sites. For the last 100 years, over half the world's tropical forests have been destroyed. And it is estimated that worldwide, 26 hectares of forest are lost every minute - that's an area equivalent to 37 football pitches. Macaw Parrots nest high up in dead trees into which they gnaw a nesting hole. With the removal of trees from the forests, the competition for nesting sites becomes very great, and crowded conditions occur.…
