Abstract

Figs Ficus spp. are of exceptional importance to many frugivorous bird species in Malaysian forests. During selective logging operations epiphytic and strangling Ficus are particularly prone to loss because of their tendency to grow on commercial timber species of harvestable size. The conservation of important Ficus species within logging concession areas or other areas of degraded forest is recommended as a measure to assist the survival of vulnerable fig-eating bird species.
