Rodrigues Warbler
Description
Habitat
Ecology: It is a territorial
insectivore
adapted to dense thickets in remaining, largely exotic
, vegetation. Low intensity
cutting of vegetation by humans appears to promote such dense growth. In 1999, a survey found 78% of the population in habitat
dominated by introduced
jamrosa Syzygium jambos where the highest densities (2.3 individuals/ha) are found3. The species is also known at lower densities (0.5/ha) in plantations of Swietenia, Tabebuia and Araucaria sp.
However other factors
, incompletely understood, greatly influence its distribution as demonstrated by the areas of suitable habitat as yet uncolonised5.[1]
