文摘

Used bird-based Index of Biotic Integrity (B-IBI) to assess small forest patches. B-IBI has identified seven avian ecological traits useful in assessment. B-IBI identified patch integrity while species richness and Shannon diversity did not. Conceptual imparity between test methods accounts for assessments differences. B-IBI is a promising method for tropical forest patch assessment in HMLs.
