Review article: Thirty years of analysing and modelling avian habitat relationships using satellite imagery data: a review

TL;DR: The application of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies provides powerful tools when used to investigate wildlife and its habitat for an analysis or modelling approach as mentioned in this paper. In this context, birds have been of great and progressive value as biological and environmental indicators.

The impacts of forest clearance on lizard, small mammal and bird communities in the arid spiny forest, southern Madagascar

TL;DR: It is found forest clearing to have a negative effect on species richness and community structure of all groups and loss of canopy cover as a driving factor behind this, however, the response and sensitivity to clearing varied between groups and species.

Impact of the Austrian Agri-environmental scheme on diversity of landscapes, plants and birds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the agri-environmental measures (AEMs) in a parcel-wise manner and analyzed their effects on landscape values and biodiversity, and concluded that AEMs are currently not targeted enough to effectively halt biodiversity losses, and recommend better regionalization by offering landscape context specific measures, stronger focus on maintenance and improvement of landscape diversity, avoidance of counterproductive development, and improving the coverage of specific conservation measures.

Street trees reduce the negative effects of urbanization on birds.

TL;DR: The results of this study show the importance of adequately planning the urban afforestation process: increasing tree species richness, preserving large trees and planting more native trees species in the streets are management practices that will increase birdspecies richness, abundance and community functional aspects and consequently improve human wellbeing and quality of life.

Spatial patterns of bird community similarity: bird responses to landscape composition and configuration in the Atlantic forest

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of forest loss, fragmentation, and land use on community similarity of birds in fragmented and continuous forest landscapes in the Atlantic forest of South America were studied.
