Increased species diversity of a bird family in the nonforest matrix correlates with increased species diversity in small fragments (r² = 0.714, P < 0.0001). Families that are not well sampled with mist nets, such as Accipitridae, Strigidae, Trogonidae, and Cotingidae, were not included. The data for all of the species in the study region were provided by James Zook (unpublished data). Note that the four families in the superfamily Furnarioidea, which is particularly sensitive to forest disturbance (2), have the lowest values and are marked with circles.
