Resumen

La conversión de hábitats nativos en áreas urbanas y campos agrícolas representa problemas de conservación
para la calidad del hábitat y el éxito reproductivo de las aves. La deforestación constante de hábitats en riesgo puede cambiar las comunidades de aves y los depredadores de los nidos, lo que puede influir en su éxito reproductivo. Para evaluar el valor de los hábitats dentro de un paisaje antropogénicamente modificado en el éxito reproductivo de las aves, colocamos 100 nidos artificiales en 5 hábitats con diferentes niveles de actividades humanas, incluyendo una reserva de bosque tropical caducifolio, una estación de investigación biológica, campos agrícolas y 2 pueblos urbanos. Encontramos una clara disminución en la supervivencia de nidos artificiales desde el bosque tropical caducifolio hasta los pueblos urbanos. El tipo de hábitat fue la variable que mejor explicó la variación en las probabilidades de supervivencia de los nidos artificiales en comparación con la altura del nido, la elevación y el tiempo de exposición del nido. Reducir el contraste dentro del paisaje en la estructura de la vegetación entre la reserva y los hábitats dentro del
paisaje modificado representan acciones de conservación importantes para aumentar la calidad del hábitat para las aves.
