- •
Interactions of functional traits and habitat geometry act as environmental filters.
- •
These filters structure the regional species pool into local bird communities.
- •
Habitat geometry is well captured by metrics calculated on in-situ forest images.
- •
Functional traits and habitat geometry define general assembly rules.
- •
Bird diversity is maintained by a spatial mosaic of successional states.
