| Résumé : | breeding bird species in France in order to standardize comparisons of ecological data dealing with bird habitats in space (between habitats, between-regions) and in time (long time or short time surveys). After a bibliographical research, experts were contacted on the basis of 60 pictures of habitats used by breeding birds. The major habitat of each species was determined by crossing two approaches, one defined by the vote of experts and the other statistically by pooling together the species sharing the same habitat. The suggested typology is considered at three levels: the domain (5 classes), the landscape (11 classes) and the habitat (18 classes). A synthetic table of distribution of the 268 species in relation to this typology is presented. The typology is tested in relation to trends of distribution and long term abundance of these species in France. The conclusions by habitat are discussed in relation to the considered level of the analysis, the one at level 2 (landscape) and the other at level 3 (habitat). Finally, the conclusions between the typological levels are congruent but may differ from one level to the other. |
