LOPEZ-BECERRA, José Luis  e  BARRON-SEVILLA, Juan Antonio. Bird diversity in a managed forest in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, México. Huitzil [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.2, pp.168-179. ISSN 1870-7459.  https://doi.org/10.28947/hrmo.2018.19.2.338.

The demand for forest resources has encouraged intensification in the use of forests, and therefore the need to evaluate their effect on birds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diversity of birds in a managed forest. Transects and points of intensive counting were established in representative areas of the silvicultural treatments that are applied in the ejido Acolihuia, municipality of Chignahuapan, Puebla. The silvicultural treatments considered were selective logging, release cutting, seed tree cutting and thinning. Thirty-five species were identified: 30 were residents and 5 migratory species. Five species have some category of endemism, and we register Myadestes occidentalis, subject to special protection by the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010. Significant differences were observed in abundance and richness between silvicultural treatments. The highest richness and diversity were recorded in areas managed by the silvicultural development method. The species similarity between treatments is low or intermediate, suggesting that species can be conserved during the rotation of treatments. In a scenario of persistent deforestation, and increasing demand for forest products, the promotion of sustainable forest management can contribute to the conservation of bird diversity.
