摘要: ABSTRACT The Afromontane forests of Ethiopia are global biodiversity hotspots, known for their high biological diversity and endemism. However, conservation these areas is challenging due to increasing human threats, including encroachment agriculture settlements, overgrazing livestock, selective logging. We examined the effects forest disturbances on birds, highlights potential value unprotected tropical montane birds in dry evergreen Bale Mountains, Ethiopia. sampled across 2 yr both protected (characterized by low levels cultivation, overgrazing, logging) (higher disturbance). Using functional traits related habitat type, diet, foraging stratum, we characterized differences between terms avian species richness, abundance, assemblage composition. Overall, richness was 27% higher bird...
