Abstract:
This dataset contains bird monitoring data from all core plots (natural and disturbed forest sites) from two different seasons(wet and dry season)at three different altitudes (1000, 2000, 3000 masl)over two years (2014 & 2015).
Keywords:
| Ecuador | human disturbance | community ecology | altitudinal gradient | Biodiversity | forest fragmentation | species richness | anthropogenic impact | abundance | bird community | functional | Community composition | Birds |

Title
:
Bird point counts, resources estimation and habitat structure
Description
:
We counted birds within circular plots with 20 m radius around each point count. Within each circle, all birds heard and seen were recorded for a period of ten minutes. Fruits and flowers were sampled on the same circular plots that birds were counted. Invertebrates were sampled used a sweep-netting to determine invertebrate biomass. The vertical vegetation heterogeneity (VVH) was estimated on eight horizontal layers to measured the foliage density within each band. Canopy closure in each circles was sampled with convex spherical densitometer.
