We calculated standardised effect sizes for functional richness (SESFRic) and functional dispersion (SESFDis), and generalised linear models were initially fitted. To account for spatial autocorrelation, we fitted spatial models (spaMM) to assess whether forest habitat type, forest cover, and patch size help explain functional variation in bird assemblages. In addition, we performed canonical correspondence analysis to evaluate differences in trait composition among forest habitat types.</jats:p>                  </jats:sec>                  <jats:sec>
