Spatial Variation in the Abundances of Threatened Resident Avifauna across Sabah: A Meta-Analysis

Threatened resident bird species are dependent on local habitats for survival, and then habitat degradation can lead to the extinction of these avian species in Sabah. Henceforth, this paper intends to utilise meta-analysis in examining the spatial variation in abundances of these species, plus the...

A total of 16 past articles that reported the count data on threatened resident species in Sabah were selected, where 21 species and 475 individuals were included in the meta-analysis.
