Avian species functional diversity and habitat use the role of forest structural attributes and tree diversity in the Midlands Mistbelt forests of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
<p><span>Forest transformation has major impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Identifying the influence of forest habitat structure and composition on avian functional communities is important for conserving and managing forest systems. This study investigated the effect of forest structure and composition characteristics on bird species community structure, habitat use, and functional diversity in 14 Mistbelt forest patches of the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. We surveyed bird communities using point counts. We quantified bird functional diversity for each forest patch using three diversity indices: functional richness, functional evenness, and functional divergence. We further assessed species-specific responses by focusing on three avian forest specialists, orange ground-thrush </span><span><em>Geokichla</em> <em>gurneyi</em></span><span>, forest canary </span><span><em>Crithagra</em> <em>scotops</em></span><span>, and Cape parrot </span><span><em>Poicephalus</em> <em>robustus</em></span><span>. We found that bird community and forest-specialist species responses to forest structure and tree species diversity differed. Also, forest structural complexity, canopy cover, and tree species richness were the main forest characteristics better at explaining microhabitat influence on bird functional diversity. Forest patches with relatively high structural complexity and tree species richness had higher functional richness. Different structural characteristics influenced habitat use by the three forest specialists. Tree species diversity influenced </span><em><span>C. scotops</span> </em><span>and</span><em><span> G. </span><span>gurneyi</span></em><span> positively, </span><span>while </span><em><span>P. robustus</span></em><span> responded negatively to forest patches with high tree species richness. </span><span>Our study showed that site-scale forest structure and composition characteristics are important for bird species richness and functional richness. Forest patches with high tree species diversity and structural complexity should be maintained to conserve forest specialists, bird species richness, and functional richness. </span></p>
