Cluster analysis dendrogram of monthly bird community samples from the three habitats from April 2017 to March 2019. Clusters are based on Bray-Curtis similarities, with distinct sample clusters depicted by black branches.
Fig. 5.
nMDS ordination of monthly bird community samples from the three habitats from April 2017 to March 2019. Samples are circled based on Bray-Curtis similarities of 40, 60 and 80%. Vectors are included for species with strong correlations (rp > 0.70) with the ordination of bird communities.
