Abstract:	A large proportion of forest-dependent bird species have disappeared from Singapore, probably due to heavy forest loss that started in the 1800s. The bird fauna seems to have relaxed (attained a lower and relatively stable diversity following habitat destruction) in Singapore. Using mist-netting, I compared understory bird communities of two lowland rainforest fragments in Singapore (Nee Soon and MacRitchie) with two continuous forests in Sarawak (Malaysia) (Matang Wildlife Sanctuary and Gunung Gading National Park). I compared community characteristics (e.g. rarity [
