Abstract
An analysis of the richness, diversity and abundance of birds in four green areas of Santo Domingo city is presented. These green areas are Plaza de la Cultura Juan Pablo Duarte, Parque Mirador Sur, Jardín Botánico Nacional Dr. Rafael M. Moscoso and Parque Mirador Norte. Fieldwork was conducted from February 2013 to November 2017. Using Point count and strip transects, a total of 3 473 individuals were registered, corresponding to 70 species and 37 families. Of the total number of registered species, seven are endemic, 37 resident, 20 migratory and 6 introduced. Parque Mirador Norte presented the highest value of species richness (54), while Plaza de la Cultura Juan Pablo Duarte and Parque Mirador Sur recorded the lowest values with 35 and 38 species respectively. The greatest abundance of individuals was recorded in Jardín Botánico Nacional (1 373) and the lowest in Parque Mirador Norte (562). The highest diversity value corresponds to Parque Mirador Norte (H’= 3.3 and D-1 = 0.94), while Plaza de la Cultura presented the lowest value (H’= 2.3 and D-1 = 0.89). The registered species were grouped into eight trophic guilds, the omnivores being the most numerous. According to the criteria of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 4 species are threatened and one is almost threatened, these areas being of significant importance for their conservation in the city of Santo Domingo.
