Understanding the interactions between riparian zones and their surroundings is critical to establish successful management actions. &amp; Aims We assessed the influence of surrounding matrix on riparian bird communities and the use of riparian galleries as surrogate habitats for the forest passerine communities of southwestern Iberia. &amp; Methods We used point counts in three simultaneous sampling stations, one in the riparian gallery and two in the adjacent matrix. Three matrix types were selected with a decreasing tree density gradient: dense montado, sparse montado, and open agricultural areas. Data were analysed with redundancy analysis and differences in species’ occurrences were tested with one-way ANOVA. &amp; Results In riparian galleries, we found bird species belong to three ecological guilds: riparian, woodland, and edge guilds. The richness of bird guilds and the occurrence of some species depended on the surrounding matrix type. Riparian bird richness was constant in all surrounding matrices, woodland bird guild was richer in galleries embedded in dense montados, and edge guild in riparian galleries surrounded by sparse montados. Five among 19 assessed species were influenced by matrix type, within particular a few strictly riparian species. Species richness increased close to riparian galleries, due to the increase in habitat heterogeneity and resource availability for birds in densely vegetated riversides. However, the occurrence of some bird species differed according to the type of surrounding matrix. &amp; Conclusion The matrix type explained most of the variance in riparian bird assemblages. Some woodland birds have used riparian galleries as surrogate habitat. Our study suggests that land use in the surrounding matrices must be taking into account for the management and rehabilitation of watercourses and bird conservation actions.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leal, Ana I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martins, Ricardo C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palmeirim, Jorge M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granadeiro, José P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of habitat fragments on bird assemblages in Cork Oak woodlands</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bird Study</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork oak woodlands</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fragments</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">matrix (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">riparian galleries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Species composition</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00063657.2011.576235</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">58</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">309 - 320</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capsule Fragments of olive groves and riparian galleries have a positive influence on bird assemblages in Cork Oak woodlands. Aims Assess the impact of fragments of olive groves and riparian vegetation on the birds of the matrix of Cork Oak woodland. Methods Bird point counts at increasing distances (0, 50, 150, 250 and 350 m) from 15 olive groves and 13 sectors of riparian vegetation embedded in a matrix of Cork Oak woodland to determine species assemblages and species abundance. Results A total of 72 bird species were recorded during the spring, and 61 in winter. The diversity of the bird assemblages of the Cork Oak matrix was somewhat greater near fragments. The density of six out of the 17 most abundant bird species varied due to the presence of olive groves or riparian vegetation. Of those, five were more abundant near the fragments and only one was less abundant. These effects could be mostly predicted from the species' density in the fragments of olive groves and riparian vegetation and depended on the season. Conclusions In Mediterranean landscapes dominated by Cork Oak woodlands, the maintenance of the existing networks of olive grove fragments and riparian galleries has a positive effect on the bird assemblages of the woodland matrix. The increase in abundance of birds near olive groves and riparian galleries is probably due to the additional fruit resources provided by the fragments, especially in winter. We conclude that active maintenance of the existing fragments should be included in the management of this valuable agricultural?silvicultural?pastoral system.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/00063657.2011.576235doi: 10.1080/00063657.2011.576235The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Taylor &amp; Francis</style></notes></record></records></xml>
