Changes in bird abundance following selective logging on Seram, Indonesia

Article Abstract:

Selective logging has significantly impacted endemic bird species on the Indonesian island of Seram. Findings may have extended implications as logging concessions cover up to 90% of forest on some islands. Logged forests demonstrated reduced diversity and decreased population. Since many bird species are island specific, logging concessions may pose an extinction threat.
