Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the Habitat guilds?

A. Habitat guilds are groups of bird species that have common habitat preferences.

B. The results showed that there was a low diversity of species in monoculture areas and urban sites.

C. Both A & B

D. None of these

Explanation:

The study identified the declining forest bird species in Western Himalayas and found that while the forest interior harbors a large number of endemic bird species, all landscapes showed a drastic loss of bird species diversity. With the loss of natural habitats in the region, dispersal corridors between those habitats need to be restored to ensure their survival. The results showed that there was a low diversity of species in monoculture areas and urban sites. It also noticed strong decline in some of the habitat guilds in the areas that experienced land-use change. Habitat guilds are groups of bird species that have common habitat preferences.
