Non-metric multidimensional scaling representing the ordination of the bird survey plots (squares) as a function of the abundances of each species observed in bird assemblages of sugarcane and cattle pastures (black dots) (stress=0.032). Dark gray squares are survey plots in pasture and light gray squares are sugarcane plots. The initials next to the squares are the survey plot name. Environmental features are represented in red arrows: Div1 – Landscape diversity at 1000 m radius; Div 6 - Landscape diversity at 600 m radius, Sct1 - Permeability exerted by scattered trees at 1000 m, Sct6 - Permeability exerted by scattered trees at 600 m, For1 - Effective mesh size of native forest at 1000 m, For6 - Effective mesh size of native forest at 600 m, Suc1 - Effective mesh size of sugarcane at 1000 m, Suc6 - Effective mesh size of sugarcane at 600 m, Pas1-Effective mesh size of pasture at 1000 m, Pas6 - Effective mesh size of pasture at 600 m; Sct1 - permeability exerted by scattered trees at 1000 m, Sct6 - permeability exerted by scattered trees at 600 m. The graphs “b” to “h” highlight the species in the NMDS graph “a”, but in ecological groups. Forest-non-forest means species able to occur in forest and non-forest habitats. The overlapped black dots are followed by a short description of how many species are in the same multidimensional space.
