Palo Verde National Park -Guanacaste, Costa Rica- is a RAMSAR Wetland of International Importance because it provides critical habitat for thousands of resident and migrating waterfowl and wading birds. Since the early 1980s, however, the park has been struggling to maintain bird habitat in the face of aggressive native cattail (Typha domingensis) expansion. This study examined the effect of cattail management, using a crushing technique called fangueo, on associated bird communities by comparing the area treated in January 2010 with two sites which had been treated in 2006, one of which has a diversity of habitats while the other is dominated by cattail. This study found that bird communities in cattail-dominated sites have lower diversi...
