Abstract
Ramanitra, N.A. 2000. An analysis of bird communities in the Tsingy Forest of Madagascar's western domain. Ostrich: 71 (1):51.
Composition of the bird communities at different habitats in the Tsingy Forest may be influenced by weather. The species, which occur in this region are important, but the presence of several eastern species was very surprising. Canyon and reservoirs of water in caves or between the rocks helped some species to survive the dry season. The mosaic habitat structure and steep slopes of the karst formation determined the distribution of birds, especially terrestrial species. The uneven furrowed rocky topography constitutes a barrier for human penetration and reduces anthropic pressure in this region. That is the reason Tsingy of Bemaraha is more protected than other natural reserves in the western domain of Madagascar.
