Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

Analysis of anthropogenic tolerance of corvids in Zhytomyr urban habitats

Біологічні студії, 2013
The results of studies of anthropogenic tolerance of corvids were performed in Zhytomyr from September 2009 to August 2012. We have chosen the Rook (Corvus frugilegus L.), Western Jackdaw (Corvus monedula L.), and Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix L.) as model ...

Bird Census Data Do Not Indicate a Lack of Impact on Songbirds From the Growth of Avian Predator Populations in Britain in the Late 20th Century

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The possible role of avian predators in limiting songbird populations has been largely discounted since the publication of findings showing a lack of statistical association in United Kingdom bird census data between changes in prey species populations ...

Threat-sensitive anti-predator defence in precocial wader, the northern lapwing Vanellus vanellus [PDF]

, 2016
Birds exhibit various forms of anti-predator behaviours to avoid reproductive failure, with mobbing—observation, approach and usually harassment of a predator—being one of the most commonly observed. Here, we investigate patterns of temporal variation in

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

Sleep and Thermoregulation in Birds: Cold Exposure Reduces Brain Temperature but Has Little Influence on Sleep Time and Sleep Architecture in Jackdaws (Coloeus monedula)

Biology
Birds have an electrophysiological sleep state that resembles mammalian rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. However, whether its regulation and function are similar is unclear.

Shelters or ecological traps? Context‐dependent effects of nestboxes on breeding success in a colonial raptor

Ibis, EarlyView.
Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Corvids create novel causal interventions after all [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
Using a novel paradigm, Tayloret al.[1] recently investigated whether NewCaledonian crows make causal interventions in comparison to 24-month-oldchildren. They view a causal intervention as the ability, after having onlyobserved a correlation between cause and effect, to produce a novel behaviouralpattern to recreate the same outcome.
