This study investigates the species diversity, distribution, and community composition of birds in different forest types in Papua New Guinea in response to environmental factors. The study further focused on individual feeding guilds. The analyzed data originate from 13 sites across the country. Each site was surveyed by standardized point count methods (seven point count 50-m radius points, 15 min per point). In total, we recorded 6,835 bird individuals belonging to 231 bird species. Specifically, this article addresses the results of surveys of bird communities of Forest Inventory from 13 sites that include the Eastern Highlands, Western Highlands, Morobe, and Madang provinces. We analyze these data in respect to various forest types that include disturbed and undisturbed selections. Across the complete study, the number of species rose rapidly for the first 40 point counts and then decelerated but continued to increase for the entire sampling, which means that not whole regional...

Ixora amplexifolia (Ixoroideae, Rubiaceae), belongs to subgenus Sathroclamys, section Hypsophyllum. It is endemic to the northern part of Papua New Guinea (PNG). This paper updates the morphological description of the species to incorporate new fruit data, and review its alignment with its cohorts of section Hypsophyllum and their distribution in PNG.
