Description

In Cote divoire, the place of birds in the city is more at the heart of ornithological research. From August 2020 to July 2021, this study was carried out on the university campus of Korhogo to evaluate the effect of the anthropization gradient on bird distribution. Three different habitats (dwellings, scrub and forests) were sampled using the point abundance index method. The results show that Scrublands and Forest were the most diverse habitats. These two habitats share the highest similarity rate. Spilopelia senegalensis, Ardea ibis, Corvinella corvina, Corvus albus, Ploceus cucullatus and Lonchura cucullata have the highest abundances in Habitations and can be considered synanthropic species. The Forest is home to 20 species that have not been observed in other habitats. The spatial distribution of birds on the campus follows a well-marked anthropization gradient.
