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

, 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

Neural Processes Underlying Tool Use in Humans, Macaques, and Corvids

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
It was thought that tool use in animals is an adaptive specialization. Recent studies, however, have shown that some non-tool-users, such as rooks and jays, can use and manufacture tools in laboratory settings.

Niche partitioning of avian predators in northern grasslands amended by biosolids

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Many food webs are affected by bottom‐up nutrient addition, as additional biomass or productivity at a given trophic level can support more consumers. In turn, when prey are abundant, predators may converge on the same diets rather than partitioning food

Wolves, Crows, and Spiders: An eclectic Literature Review inspires a Model explaining Humans’ similar Reactions to ecologically different Wildlife

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Coming from the vantage point of managing human relations to potentially problematic wildlife, we bring the following questions: Where do people’s emotionally vigorous and polarized reactions originate?

Little evidence that Eurasian jays protect their caches by responding to cues about a conspecific’s desire and visual perspective

eLife, 2021
Eurasian jays have been reported to protect their caches by responding to cues about either the visual perspective or current desire of an observing conspecific, similarly to other corvids.

Peck or pass? Individual-level testing of a bird-repellent seed coating. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Using sequential unique‐choice tests on an urban population of ringed carrion crows, we show that black pepper oleoresin‐treated maize seeds were avoided, while color alone had no deterrent effect. Abstract Background Carrion crows (Corvus corone) are a major depredating species of spring crops across European agroecosystems, especially during sowing ...

Is the Hitchcock Story Really True? Public Opinion on Hooded Crows in Cities as Input to Management

Animals, 2022
In recent years, the Hooded crow (Corvus cornix) has become one of the most successful wild bird species in urban environments across Europe. Hooded crows can cause several problems in cities, including trash scattering, noise disturbance, and aggressive
