Resumen
Los humedales neotropicales comprenden hábitats contrastantes con avifaunas altamente diversas que incluyen especies terrestres y acuáticas de herbívoros, insectívoros y carnívoros. Por lo cual, las comparaciones entre los ensambles avifaunísticos de los humedales basados únicamente en la identidad de especies podrían ignorar el recambio entre grupos ecológicos, y ocultar variaciones importantes entre tipos de hábitat. Nosotros estudiamos ensambles avifaunísticos de tipos de hábitat de manglar y estuario en un sistema lagunar de la costa de Oaxaca, México. Entre octubre 2009 y mayo 2012, utilizamos 640 puntos de conteo para determinar la estructura de gremios mediante la clasificación de 139 especies en una jerarquía escalar de dos niveles: 17 gremios de recursos claves anidados en siete gremios tróficos. Para evaluar la variación en la estructura jerárquica entre tipos de hábitat, contrastamos la riqueza y diversidad a través de gremios tróficos y probamos para variación en la abundancia dentro de gremios de recursos claves. Registramos una tendencia de mayor diversidad en gremios terrestres del manglar y en gremios acuáticos del estuario. Sin embargo, ésta variación fue compensatoria, ya que ni la riqueza específica ni la diversidad variaron entre los tipos de hábitat a través de los conjuntos de gremios tróficos. Un análisis paralelo de dos niveles jerárquicos soportó la predicción de un mayor recambio en niveles inferiores. La herpetofauna, los invertebrados en madera, los invertebrados acuáticos, y las semillas se presentaron como componentes alimenticios que podrían explicar la distribución de abundancia en los gremios de recursos claves. Aunque los gremios del manglar y estuario produjeron conjuntos comparables de valores de riqueza y diversidad, la identidad exacta de los gremios con valores altos variaba entre hábitats. Por otro lado, las comparaciones de abundancia dentro los gremios determinaron asociaciones específicas con tipos de hábitat y este método representa una estrategia apta para identificar las preferencias de hábitat en ensambles complejos de aves en humedales.
