The Role of Birds of the Family Corvidae in Transmitting Sarcocystis Protozoan Parasites
Animals, 2021 Members of the family Corvidae are ecologically flexible omnivorous birds, particularly adaptive to urban habitats, and living in proximity to humans; these birds may serve as definitive hosts (DH) for Sarcocystis spp., but research about this is lacking.

Habitat selection and reproduction of red-backed shrikes (Lanius collurio) in relation to abundance of potential avian nest predators [PDF]
, 2010 Many studies of farmland bird species have related abundance of species to different habitat variables, whereas few studies have incorporated the effects of predation on habitat selection. However, it is generally assumed that prey species select habitat

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Preliminary observations of tool-processing behaviour in Hawaiian crows Corvus hawaiiensis
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2018 Very few animal species habitually make and use foraging tools. We recently discovered that the Hawaiian crow is a highly skilled, natural tool user. Most captive adults in our experiment spontaneously used sticks to access out-of-reach food from a range

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...
