Winter Bird Assemblages in Rural and Urban Environments: A National Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Urban development has a marked effect on the ecological and behavioural traits of many living organisms, including birds. In this paper, we analysed differences in the numbers of wintering birds between rural and urban areas in Poland. We also analysed

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

Introduced mona monkey Cercopithecus mona is a key predator of bird nests in the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Bird communities in oceanic islands tend to evolve under reduced predation, making them extremely susceptible to introduced predators. Príncipe Island (São Tomé and Príncipe, Central Africa) harbors 11 endemic bird species and eight introduced mammal species.

Temporally‐indexed multi‐species density impact functions: Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.

Lead ammunition residues in the meat of hunted woodcock: a potential health risk to consumers

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2016
Wild meat often retains metallic particles originating from the ammunition fired by hunters. Since ammunition are traditionally lead (Pb)-based, the consumption of game meat may entail the ingestion of Pb embedded in tissues.

Effectiveness of territorial protection categories in conserving an endemic island bird during population fluctuation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

Avifauna of Gungdae Oreum and its seasonal changes in the Jeju Eastern Oreum Group in Jeju Island, Korea

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
“Oreum” is a local common name for a volcanic cone in Jeju Island, the Republic of Korea. Oreums in the Jeju Eastern Oreum Group (JEOG), located in the eastern mid-mountain region of Jeju, have been threatened by increasing tourism and associated ...
