dc.description.abstract | The increase in building infrastructure in urban habitat due to the need for more
infrastructures has increased the isolation of vegetated areas, which affect the longterm
survival of urban bird communities (van Balen et al 1986; Isaksson 2018). The
decline of natural habitats in tropical areas and the increase of urban habitats have
increased the importance of urban habitats for bird conservation.
Urban birds can be used as indicators of environmental conditions, especially
climate change. Trijanowski et al. (2013) reported that migratory birds arrived
earlier in urban habitats indicating that birds in urban habitats are more affected by
climate change. Urban landscapes are varied; therefore, birds might respond
differently to different types of urban habitats.Previous studies showed that birds in
urban habitats are affected by traffic noise (Parris and Schneider 2009; Syaqina
2017), and that bird diversity differs between sites in urban areas due to different
noise levels (Haryadi 2016;). urban bird adaptation to such disturbance.
Why urban birds? We all know that with the increase of human population and
needs, urban areas are growing, while at the same time natural vegetated areas
especially natural forest area decreasing. This affects the sustainability of bird
diversity. Many species became endangered. On the other hand, the needs of green
areas in the cities is also realized, so people built parks, green ways and urban forest
and plant trees. This provides alternative habitats for birds. Bird conservation in
urban areas becomes important, and to support it we need to know what birds are
adapted in the urban areas and how they behave. We need urban bird inventory.
Conventional methods to assess bird communities that use vocal detection, such as
point counts, might be hindered by noise in urban habitat. Passive acoustic
monitoring (PAM) that records wildlife sound for a period of time can be used to
detect bird communities. ... | id |
