Honduras cuenta con 349,510 hectáreas cultivadas con café Coffea arabica, que son en su mayoría cultivos tradicionales (café sombra y café sol), y en menor escala cultivos con sistema Dosel Abierto Integrado (DAI). El sistema de café DAI consiste en plantaciones de café rodeadas por bosque en una proporción ≥ 1:1, lo que permite la preservación y la restauración de ecosistemas nativos. El objetivo de nuestra investigación fue evaluar el sistema DAI en cultivos de café como una alternativa de conservación para las aves migratorias neártico-neotropicales y aves residentes. Evaluamos características ecológicas, como la riqueza y abundancia de especies, entre los meses de noviembre de 2018 a abril de 2019. Establecimos 75 puntos de conteo de radio fijo en una zona cafetalera del departamento de Yoro, Honduras. Estadísticamente no registramos diferencias significativas en la riqueza de aves migratorias entre los sistemas de bosque, café DAI y cultivos de café tradicionales. Sin embargo, la riqueza de especies dependientes de bosque fue mayor en los sistema bosque y cultivos de café DAI que en cultivos tradicionales. Además, algunas especies dependientes de bosque, como Myioborus miniatus y Mionectes oleagineus, fueron más abundantes (P < 0.05) en bosque y cultivos de café DAI que en cultivos de café tradicionales. Nuestros resultados se suman a los reportados en Costa Rica, en donde se introdujo este agroecosistema de cultivo de café, en los que se indica que el café DAI puede ser una alternativa para la conservación de aves migratorias y residentes, en particular para especies dependientes de bosque.
