- W2944366947 abstract "Abstract Riparian forests, an integral part of savanna ecosystems, are threatened across West Africa by agricultural expansion. However, some patches of original riparian vegetation are protected by traditional beliefs as ‘Sacred Groves’. We assessed the role of Sacred Groves in maintaining landscape-scale bird assemblages by conducting 144 1-h point counts, distributed over 24 plots in eastern Guinea-Bissau. The plots were situated in three riparian habitat types with different levels of human modification (Sacred Grove, Young Secondary Forest, Annual Cultures) and the adjacent Wooded Savanna. We accumulated 4572 records of 174 species and compared total species richness, composition, and functional traits among the four habitat types. At the plot level, species richness was higher in Wooded Savannas and Annual Cultures compared to Secondary Forests and Sacred Groves. Bird communities in Wooded Savannas were similar to those in Annual Cultures and differed the most from those of Sacred Groves. Bird community composition in Young Secondary Forests was similar to that in Annual Cultures but showed a shift towards the community composition found in Sacred Groves. Certain traits were strongly specific to habitat type. For example, Sacred Groves were characterized by a high number of forest specialists and insectivorous birds. Our results suggest that the rapid successional dynamics in riparian habitats enable disturbance tolerant forest species to recolonize fallow areas after a relatively short period of time. However, Sacred Groves hold a distinct avifauna and their conservation may therefore be crucial for forest specialist species and the re-establishment of bird assemblages in fallow riparian areas. Our findings also stress the importance of respecting and strengthening traditional forms of nature protection." @default.
