Birds as indicators of environmental quality - Studies in forest fragments in Rondônia

The process of deforestation in forest areas can lead to the formation of isolated fragments, which for most birds is a very important factor, as many species are unable to move to other fragments that are too far away, which prevents the flow of individuals between fragments, and over time can reduce the genetic variability of populations. The main aim of this study was to assess the conservation status of four forest fragments using the trophic guilds of the birds recorded as bioindicators.
