Komunitas Burung Pemakan Buah di Habitat Suksesi
Abstrak: Java Island has been
experienced a heavy deforestation in the 16th century. On accounts of increases
of human population in this area, most of the forests were changed into open
land with shrubs and secondary vegetations. The frugivororous birds play an
important role on vegetation recoveries since they help seed dispersal. The
purpose of this study was to know the communities of frugivorous birds in
succession habitat. The areas are abandoned tea plantation of ≥5 and ≥10 years
ago, and secondary forest in West Java, Indonesia. Observation of bird
communities was carried out by point count method and capture-recapture method
since April up to November 2005. Birds communities were recorded at abandoned
tea plantation ≥5 KT5 (55 species; 235 ind/ha), KT10 (39 species; 208 ind./ha)
and secondary forest (62 species; 204 ind./ha). Bird community hierarchy
cluster consist of 17 insectivorous guilds, 6 frugivorous guilds, 4 carnivorous
and omnivorous guilds, and 3 granivorous and nectarivorous guilds.
