1 DAAD BioLuz Biodiversity Monitoring System data Understanding bird species occurrence patterns in Philippine Protected Areas: Preliminary Findings Paula Beatrice M. Macandog Jana Riederer
2 Biodiversity Monitoring System (BMS) Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Biodiversity Monitoring System (BMS) Repeated data sampling or monitoring of Protected Areas in the Philippines Objective of BMS is to identify trends in biodiversity to aid in PA management PA staff, local communities, local environmental groups and deputized forest guards to conduct monitoring Designed to generate Quarterly BMS Reports
3 BMS Quarterly Reports
4 BMS database BMS Quarterly Reports ( ) - Species observation (flora and fauna species) - Presence/absence - Abundance (in selected reports) - most robust information captured is on the sightings of bird species - illegal resource extraction activities within the protected areas - Park Management Issues and Proposed Interventions
5 Objectives of the study Identifying patterns and developing biodiversity maps depicting bird species occurrence across the PA areas
6 Protected Areas monitored under BMS TOTAL 60 Luzon 37 Visayas 11 Mindanao 12
7 Abundance of bird species and overall trends Highest numbers recorded in: Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park, Visayas (97 species) Manleluag Spring Protected Landscape, Luzon (96 species) Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape, Visayas (84 species) Overall trend: Highest numbers of bird species recorded in Visayas, lowest numbers in Mindanao
8 A possible Limitation: Differences in the number of years each PA was sampled
9 Bird Distribution in Context
10 Bird Distribution in Context Types of Landcover Highest number of bird species recorded in Protected Areas in or near areas with annual or perennial crop.
11 Bird Distribution in Context Types of Landcover Sampling bias birds are more easily visible in open agricultural structures Protected Areas as refugia Attractive Agroecosystems: Agricultural products as additional food source Typically: avian pollinators and seed dispersers more abundant in agroecosystems, insectivores less abundant (Tscharntke et al. 2008). Possible threat due to the increasing intensification and use of pesticides Caveat: This does not take beta-diversity into account! Forest ecosystems typically have higher beta diversity than agricultural ecosystems. (Tscharntke et al. 2008). Hence the PAs in forest-covered areas should not be disregarded.
12 Highest number of bird species recorded in Protected Areas at low elevation Bird Distribution in Context Elevation
13 Bird Distribution in Context Elevation The decrease in biodiversity along an elevational gradient as a widely recognized pattern (Kattan & Franco 2004, among others) Ample empirical support Possible drivers of elevational diversity patterns: (Acharya et al 2011, Stevens 1992) contemporary climate (temperature, precipitation, ) biological processes (productivity, habitat heterogeneity, interspecific interactions,...) spatial factors (area effects, an extension of Rapoport s latitudinal gradient to altitude ) evolutionary and historical processes (isolation, speciation ) These explanations are not exclusive, may act synergistically
14 Bird Distribution in Context Annual Mean Temperature Highest number of bird species recorded in Protected Areas in warmer regions
15 Bird Distribution in Context Annual Mean Temperature The increase in biodiversity along a temperature gradient as a widely recognized pattern Species-Energy-Relationships The upper limit of species richness is determined by the available energy (Wright 1983) Species-Energy-Relationship typically increasing monotonously (Evans et al. 2005) Some possible mechanisms (Evans et al. 2005): Niche position: Increased productive energy Increased abundance of rare resources Increased abundance of niche position specialists Niche breadth: Increased productive energy abundance of individual resources reduced niche overlap reduced competitive exclusion Consumer pressure: Increased productive energy more individuals at higher trophic levels increased consumer pressure reductions in prey populations less interspecific competition co-existence of prey species Range limitation Increased temperature within physiological tolerance range of more species
16 Bird Distribution in Context Climate Types Type 1: Two pronounced seasons (dry and wet season) Type 2: No dry season, but amount of rainfall varies Type 3: Less pronounced seasons Type 4: Rainfall distributed evenly throughout the year
17 Bird Distribution in Context Climate Types No clear connection between a single climate type and bird diversity Lower diversity in regions of spatially variable climate Species-area relationship (Lomolino & Weiser 2001, among others) Biodiversity is correlated positively with area Caveat: this does not take beta diversity into account! The Mid-Domain Effect (MDE) (Colwell et al. 2004, among others) In the absence of environmental gradients: Diversity peak in the middle of an area, due to an increased overlap of species ranges Support from computer models In small area: MDE weaker, hence less diversity
18 Bird Distribution in Context Migration Highest numbers of migrant bird species recorded in Visayas Possibly consequence of already discussed variables Maximal number per PA: Four migratory species Migration contributes, but doesn t explain the overall trend
19 Bird Distribution in Context Monthly Precipitation No obvious precipitation dependent trend Other climatic variables which showed no connection with bird species distribution patterns include for example seasonality
20 A Closer Look at Various Aspects of Bird Distribution
21 Distribution of Common Birds Common here refers to birds found in 16 Protected Areas (PAs) or more In the BMS data base: Black-naped Oriole Brahminy Kite Coleto Common Emerald Dove Luzon Hornbill Philippine Bulbul Philippine Coucal Philippine Hanging Parrot Philippine Serpent Eagle Red Junglefowl Rufous Hornbill White-eared Brown Dove Yellow-vented Bulbul
22 Distribution of Common Birds
23 Distribution of Common Birds
24 Distribution of Common Birds
25 Distribution of the Brahminy Kite a case study Diet consists largely of fish and crabs (Sivakumar & Jayabalan, 2004) Scavenging behaviour (Clancy, 2005) Hence distribution along coasts and larger inland water bodies Higher abundance near fisheries, occurrence on waste disposal sites (Tuljapurkar & Bhagwat, 2007; Sarkar 1986). Distribution not affected by elevation and area size (Khaleghizadeh & Anuar 2014).
26 Birds with Restricted Distribution to one PA Largest number of bird species unique to one PA: Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park Manleluag Spring Protected Landscape Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape 83 bird species out of 317 were sighted in only one PA These include: Migratory species Introduced species Endemic species Endangered species Protection of these PAs of special importance
27 Birds with Restricted Distribution to one Island Group Largest number of species restricted to one island sighted in: Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park Manleluag Spring Protected Landscape Bird species restricted to one island include: Migratory Species Introduced Species Endemic Species Critically endangered Species
28 Distribution of Endemic Species High number of endemic species Almost all PAs have endemic species General pattern of species distribution also reflected in endemic species
29 Distribution of Endangered Species All endangered or critically endangered species also endemic Protection of those PAs of special importance Classification by IUCN and DENR
30 Conclusions Use of GIS mapping to identify trends such as biodiversity patterns Use of the gathered information and the identified trends for improved management of Protected Areas
