          Abstract

          RESUMEN El Bosque Seco Tropical es uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados en Colombia y aún se desconocen diferentes aspectos sobre su avifauna y ecología, especialmente en el sur del Valle del Magdalena en Colombia. En este estudio se evaluaron las variaciones en la diversidad taxonómica y funcional en un ensamblaje de aves en un área con diferentes estados sucesionales en un bosque seco en el sur del valle del río Magdalena. Para la caracterización de la avifauna se llevaron a cabo puntos de conteos de radio fijo y para la complejidad de hábitat se cuantificaron variables estructurales de la vegetación en cada estado sucesional, se realizó un análisis de componentes principales, donde se utilizó el primer componente principal como una medida de la complejidad de hábitat. Los resultados muestran que la diversidad taxonómica medida como riqueza basada en el número efectivo de especies, y la diversidad funcional evaluada mediante el índice de riqueza funcional del ensamblaje se correlacionan significativamente con la complejidad del hábitat, aumentando en estados sucesionales más complejos. Esta tendencia fue positiva para frugívoros e insectívoros, y negativa para los granívoros, por lo que el estado sucesional y la complejidad de hábitat pueden estar jugando un papel clave en la estructuración de las comunidades de avifauna. Estos resultados contribuyen al conocimiento de la avifauna y su relación ecológica con el bosque seco en el sur del valle geográfico del río Magdalena.

          ABSTRACT The Dry Tropical Forest is one of the most threatened ecosystems in Colombia and there are aspects about their avifauna and ecology still unknown, specially in the south of the Magdalena river. This study evaluated the changes of the taxonomic and functional diversity of a bird assemblage in an area at different successional stages, in a dry tropical forest in the south of Magdalena valley. For the characterization of the avifauna, fixed-radius counting points were carried out and, for the complexity of the habitat, structural variables of the vegetation were quantified in each successional state, a principal component analysis was conducted, where the first principal component was used as a measure of habitat complexity. The results show that the taxonomic diversity measured as richness based on the effective number of species, and the functional diversity evaluated by the functional richness index index of the assemblage were significantly correlated with habitat complexity increasing in more complex successional stages. Those patterns remained at the bird- functional group level, with positive and significant correlations in frugivorous and insectivorous, and negative for the granivores group, so that the successional status and habitat complexity may be playing a key role in the structuring of avifauna communities. These findings contributed to the avian knowledge and their ecological relation with the dry forest in the south of the Magdalena valley.

            Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystem Functions.

            Accelerating rates of environmental change and the continued loss of global biodiversity threaten functions and services delivered by ecosystems. Much ecosystem monitoring and management is focused on the provision of ecosystem functions and services under current environmental conditions, yet this could lead to inappropriate management guidance and undervaluation of the importance of biodiversity. The maintenance of ecosystem functions and services under substantial predicted future environmental change (i.e., their 'resilience') is crucial. Here we identify a range of mechanisms underpinning the resilience of ecosystem functions across three ecological scales. Although potentially less important in the short term, biodiversity, encompassing variation from within species to across landscapes, may be crucial for the longer-term resilience of ecosystem functions and the services that they underpin.
