| description | This study was conducted in Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve (AHFR), Puchong, Selangor,
Peninsular Malaysia to investigate the response of upperstorey birds to the environmental
variables and to determine variables which correlate with upperstorey birds at different
distances from the forest edge. The information on upperstorey birds and micro-environment
variables were recorded using point sampling method. Altogether about 88 points survey
were established randomly along the 13 transects lines. A total of 113 species from 3,226
observations of birds were recorded of which 61 species (45.86%) and 1,618 observations
(50.15%) were classified as upperstorey birds during the study period. Results showed that
RDA ordination of all canonical axes for the group of upperstorey birds were significantly
correlated (F =12.34, p<0.05). The first two axes of species data was significant (p<0.05)
with 19.80% explained by the first axis and 26.70% explained by the second axis. RDA
ordination for upperstorey bird species at different distances from forest edge showed that
the response and the environmental variables were significantly correlated (F = 9.25, p<0.05)
for the first canonical axis, and F=1.19, p<0.05 for all of canonical axes. This relationship was
due to the ability of upperstorey birds to tolerate different types of habitats and climatic
condition. Based on the findings in this study, it is important to conserve the remaining
habitats and the bird communities in the forest reserve. This would ensure the continued
existence of the remaining habitats and species in the future. |
