| description | Forest condition would affect the species composition of birds. Little info on
bird’s population is available in the forest. The objectives of this study were to
compare the species composition, species diversity, species richness,
species evenness of birds in lowland forest of Menchali Forest Reserve and
hill forest of Bukit Ridan Forest Reserve. The methods used were transect
survey in Menchali Forest Reserve and bird netting in Bukit Ridan Forest
Reserve. The results of the study showed that Menchali Forest Reserve has
higher species composition than Bukit Ridan Forest Reserve. Similar results
were observed for species diversity and species richness. In term of species
evenness, the species were distributed more evenly in Bukit Ridan Forest
Reserve than Menchali Forest Reserve. Overall the species that have been
recorded were 38 species of birds from 28 falimies which is 30 species from
20 families in Menchali Forest Reserve and eight species which represented
by six families in Bukit Ridan Forest Reserve. In Menchali Forest Reserve,
two near threatened species,Treron fulvicollis and Eurylaimus ochromalus
have been recorded.The study showed that Menchali Forest Reserve can be
classified as a good forest condition. |
