The Richness of Island Habitat Avian Communities and Their Influencing Factors
岛屿栖息地鸟类群落的丰富度及其影响因子

The species-area relationship of insular faunas has been described and interpreted for over 70 years, but there is little agreement on its cause. Four processes have been proposed to explain this pattern: the equilibrium hypothesis, the passive sampling hypothesis, the habitat diversity hypothesis and the disturbance hypothesis. In this paper, we assessed the four hypotheses and analyzed the richness of island habitat avian communities and their influencing factors. Studies were conducted at 20 urban woodlo...
