Summary:Globally, forests are the most threatened habitats, especially due to tree logging and other disturbances caused mainly by humans. [...]the wildlife vertebrate communities within these ecosystems face great threats and individual species are assumed to evolve complex adaptive mechanisms based on these changes in the environment. The last article describes the foraging behavior of selected bird species in Fiji’s forest in detail [6]. Since forest bird communities are often very complex, the feeding behavior of particular species should be optimized according to the feeding tactics of other species due to their competitive relationships. [...]the articles in this Special Issue significantly improve our knowledge on the mechanisms shaping the diversity of forest bird communities from different areas of the world.
