Qualitative structure of the community of nesting birds between 1971–2000 in the Mokrice rural area (NW Croatia)
Z. Dolenec
Sažetak
We describe the qualitative community structure of birds nesting in and around the village of Mokrice (46°00'N, 15°55'E) over a period of twenty years (1971–2000). The Mokrice rural area (614 ha) was divided into three areas for this investigation: A-area (village itself), B-area (mainly forest and vineyards), and C-area (mainly meadows, arable land with small water areas and small isolated forests). A total of 74 nesting bird species were registered in all three areas. The studies showed that there was no significant difference in the qualitative structure of bird communities per nesting period (1971–1980, 1981–1990 and 1991–2000; Sorensen’s index of similarity: QS>80), but that there was a significant difference among nesting areas (A-area, B-area and C-area; QS<80).
