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

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

To peck or not to peck: the influence of early-life social environment on response inhibition and impulsive aggression in Japanese quails

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Deficits in response inhibition (RI; i.e. the ability to suppress inappropriate responses) may contribute to increased impulsive aggression (IA; i.e. unplanned behaviours that harm others).

Unpacking response Inhibition in animals – part 2: an empirical test

open access: yesAnimal Cognition
Response inhibition - the ability to suppress or stop actions - is crucial for adaptive behaviour across species. In Part 1 of this study, we presented a conceptual framework for understanding response inhibition as multifaceted.

Unpacking response inhibition in animals – part 1: a conceptual framework

open access: yesAnimal Cognition
Response inhibition - the ability to suppress or stop actions - is crucial for adaptive behaviour across species. The concept of response inhibition has traditionally been regarded as a unidimensional psychological ability.

Dispersal and Mortality of Eastern Imperial Eagles from Bulgaria

open access: yesПернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
Identification of mortality factors and their significance along with dispersal pattern and spatial distribution of mortality events is essential for applying successful conservation measures for long lived species such as Eastern Imperial eagle (Aquila ...

Thinking with Birds: Mary Elizabeth Barber’s Advocacy for Gender Equality in Ornithology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This article explores parts of the first South African woman ornithologist’s life and work. It concerns itself with the micro-politics of Mary Elizabeth Barber’s knowledge of birds from the 1860s to the mid-1880s.
