Bird species decline threatens biodiversity at Uchali Wetland in Pakistan.
The researchers studied bird species diversity at Uchali Wetland in Pakistan. They found that the wetland supports 47 bird species, with a total of 25,361 birds. The number of species has decreased compared to the past. The evenness of bird species varied annually, with an overall functional abundance of species. By using a modified rank-abundance curve, the researchers suggest that bird species diversity measurement can be improved to show the true abundance of bird species at the wetland.
