Which species would be affected by the fragmentation of tropical forests? 

A)  raccoons 
B)  cowbirds 
C)  migrating songbirds 
D)  skunks

Migrating songbirds rely heavily on intact tropical forests as stopover sites during their long migrations. Fragmentation of these forests reduces the availability of suitable habitat and disrupts the connectivity and continuity of migration routes, making it difficult for these birds to successfully complete their journeys. Raccoons and skunks are less likely to be affected by tropical forest fragmentation as they are more adaptable to living in disturbed habitats. Cowbirds are opportunistic nest parasites and may even benefit from disturbances that create open areas for foraging.
