Analisis Guild Burung di Beberapa Tipe Habitat di Hutan Lambusango, Pulau Buton, Sulawesi Tenggara

Abstract

The existence of a guild can be used as the indicator of habitat change. The objective of this research is to identify guild composition and analyze factors that influence guild diversity in primary forest, secondary forest, and mix plantation. This research was conducted on July, 4th-31st in primary forest, secondary forest, and mix plantation in Lambusango forest. The result shows that secondary forest holds the highest guild composition although there was no big difference in the number of guild among the three habitat types. Insectivores always dominate guild composition in every habitat types. It might be influenced by the stability and availability of the insect population throughout the year. Frugivore is the next dominance guild in every habitat type. Middle and upper canopy are the dominant substrate used by insectivore and frugivore. Sally is the dominant behavior type that frequently used by insectivore while glean and reach is the dominant behavior that frequently used by frugivore.
