Impact of predation by the black rat, rattus rattus, on the breeding success of cory’s shearwater, Calonectris diomedea, on Linosa island (Sicily, Italy)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2012
Black Rat, Rattus rattus, is one of the most common species on Mediterranean islands; it is found on all of the large and medium-sized islands, and on many of the smallest ones as well (Perfetti et alii, 2001).

Investigation into the effect of “day one weight” on bird weight gain of ISA 257 table birds within the Sheepdrove Organic Farm organic silvo-poultry system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This report summarises the results of a preliminary trial undertaken to investigate the effect of day one chick weight on weight gain and final weight. The objectives of the trial were to ascertain the range in weights of day old chicks brought on to ...

Self‐Reinforcing Degradation of Solution‐Processed Small‐Molecule OLEDs: Excited‐States and Molecular Interactions as Key Triggers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐reinforcing degradation in solution‐processed small‐molecule organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) arises from charge accumulation and exciton‐polaron interactions, leading to molecular aggregation and efficiency loss. This study uncovers the fundamental mechanisms behind this degradation and introduces strategic material engineering approaches ...

Frugivory in Raptors: New Observations from Australia and a Global Review

open access: yesBirds, 2021
The diets of raptors are some of the best studied and well-known of all bird groups. Raptors are typically carnivores, hunting and feeding on vertebrates and, for some species, invertebrates. Here, we described instances of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

Using DNA metabarcoding to explore spatial variation in diet across European Hawfinch populations

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology, 2023
The investigation of diet in avian species is essential for understanding their ecology and local adaptations, as well as long-term conservation. This can be particularly challenging because of the wide distribution and high ecological plasticity of many

Life History and Sociality Predict Variation in Eye Size across Birds

open access: yesBirds, 2023
Over evolutionary times, the eye has acquired several adaptations to improve feeding efficiency and reduce predation pressure. Eye size, in particular, represents a target for selection, as it affects light capture and image resolution. Previous research
