Ramírez-Albores Biología Mexico richness Alto Balsas avian diversity tropical deciduous forest Knowledge of the composition of the bird community in Alto Balsas (southwestern Puebla, CentralMexico) is needed for management programs aiming at protection and conservation of bird species and theirhabitats I studied sites with tropical deciduous forest. Data were obtained during 1666 hours of field work in 238days from March 1998 to September 2000. Six permanent transect (3.5 km long and 100 m wide; 30 to 40 ha ineach transect) were used to determine species richness in the study sites. The Shannon-Wiener diversity indexwas calculated for each site and Sorensens index was used to assess similarity between sites. One-way analysisof variance was used to test for differences between sites in species richness and diversity values. A total of 128species were recorded, Tepexco (n = 75, H´= 3.76) and Puente Márquez (n = 61, H´= 3.62) were the sites thatshowed the greatest specific richness and diversity. However, species richness and diversity seasonally patternswere similar among sites (ANOVA p > 0.05), with highest diversity during the rainy season. Most species wereresident; 42 were migrants. The avifauna was represented by 30 species associated with tropical deciduous forestand 12 from open habitats or heavily altered habitats. Insectivores were the best represented trophic category,followed by carnivores and omnivores. Rev. Biol. Trop. 55 (1): 287-300.
