Physiological and immunological responses of birds and mammals to forest degradation: A meta-analysis

摘要: Abstract Dramatic changes in species composition have been found following selective logging and forest fragmentation. The different responses of bird to these disturbances suggest that some are more sensitive environmental than others. Recent studies suggested the chances adapt new environments may be mediated by their stress physiology immunity. We reviewed performed a meta-analysis compared physiological immunological endpoints mammal between degraded (logged fragmented) forests undisturbed forests. hormones immunity markers show consistent response habitat degradation birds mammals. Higher were those animals living subjected clear-cutting. Furthermore, we belonging IUCN ‘Threatened’ categories exhibited significantly larger effect size estimates mammals ‘Least Concern’ species, respectively. Our revealed production immune traits significant consequence disturbance. Physiology might two important mediators adaptiveness given changing
