About this Page

The EcoChart is a pie chart showing the relative likelihood of observing particular other species commonly observed near Oriolus brachyrhynchus. Likelhood considers both the frequency with which Oriolus brachyrhynchus is observed at all locations where it has been reported, and the number of observations of all other species at each of those locations. A species that is common where Oriolus brachyrhynchus is common will have a higher score than if only one of these species is common at that location.
The Top Species lists enumerate those species most commonly observed near Oriolus brachyrhynchus.
While the chart, lists, and wheel are empirically based on observations, observations favor some phyla over others. Typically Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa, and Arthropods are more common in the field than in our records.
In the section Characteristics of Habitat, we make some habitat inferences based on the known habitat preferences of those species most commonly associated with Oriolus brachyrhynchus.

Characteristics of Habitat

Range and Population:

This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 2,300,000 km². The global population size has not been quantified, but it is believed to be large as the species is described as 'frequent' in at least parts of its range (Borrow and Demey 2001). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.[1]
