Résumé :	We studied bird community composition and abundance within four vegetation and disturbance categories located within selectively logged and unlogged forest in a Bolivian subtropical lowland forestry concession. The logged forest was subject to reduced-impact logging between 1 and 4 years prior to our study. The four categories were: 1) 'gap' points possessing natural or anthropogenic tree-fall gaps,' 2) 'target' points with one of five commercial tree species of harvestable size; 3) 'future' points possessing a commercial tree below harvestable size; and 4) 'non-target' points not possessing harvestable tree species. The bird community composition of logging gaps significantly differed from that found within natural tree-fall gaps in the unlogged forest (P
