Effect of flood pulse on the functional diversity and traits composition of birds with different degrees of wetland dependence in the brazilian pantanal

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Wetland dependence can drive the turnover of bird species depending on the water level in floodplains (Lorenzón et_al 2020). The authors evaluated whether the degree of wetland dependence influences the response of bird groups (waterbird, wetland bird and non-wetland bird) to the Paraguay River´s flood pulse. Besides that, functional trait proportion also changes between hydrological periods since, in the high waters, birds that feed on items associated with waterbodies should be favored, while in the low waters, non- wetland birds will be favored because there is more availability of resources for . . .
