Population expansion of the Hoopoe Upupa epops in Silesia, SW Poland

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2016
A total of 258 breeding pairs of the Hoopoe were recorded in Silesia (c. 42,000 km2), SW Poland, during the years 2004- 2008. This is almost twice more than during the years 1978-1987 (136 pairs). This increase was rather unexpected.

Chlamydia species in free-living Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) and Hoopoe (Upupa epops) in Egypt [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2014
Little information is available on the presence of chlamydia infection in wildlife. This study was conducted to assess the occurrence of chlamydiae in asymptomatic birds from two species of wild birds (Cattle Egret and Hoopoe) in Egypt.

Acquisition of Uropygial Gland Microbiome by Hoopoe Nestlings [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Ecology, 2017
Mutualistic symbioses between animals and bacteria depend on acquisition of appropriate symbionts while avoiding exploitation by non-beneficial microbes. The mode of acquisition of symbionts would determine, not only the probability of encountering but also evolutionary outcomes of mutualistic counterparts. The microbiome inhabiting the uropygial gland

Estimating seasonal survival of migratory birds using continuous-time capture-recapture models. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Appl
Abstract Understanding the population dynamics of migratory species requires consideration of their entire annual cycle. A key requirement is the decomposition of annual survival into seasonal periods. While there is increasing evidence that migrations are the most dangerous phase of the annual cycle, temporal variation in seasonal survival and its ...

Influence of Wine Label Imagery: Eye-Tracking Evidence and Regulatory Implications. [PDF]

open access: yesDrug Alcohol Rev
ABSTRACT Introduction The visual design of alcohol beverage packaging plays a crucial role in shaping consumer perceptions and purchase decisions, yet regulations in many countries are relatively lax. Guidelines often focus on the inclusion of health warnings rather than overall label or packaging design, giving producers considerable freedom.

The Hoopoe's Uropygial Gland Hosts a Bacterial Community Influenced by the Living Conditions of the Bird. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Molecular methods have revealed that symbiotic systems involving bacteria are mostly based on whole bacterial communities. Bacterial diversity in hoopoe uropygial gland secretion is known to be mainly composed of certain strains of enterococci, but this ...

Mapping the distribution of the Eurasian Hoopoe Upupa epops and the Pine Processionary Moth in Lebanon based on a Citizen Science approach

open access: yesAvocetta, 2023
The Pine Processionary Moth (PPM) Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni has long been attacking Mediterranean forests. In its management strategy, Lebanon has focused mainly on pesticides, leaving natural predators as an understudied control option. This study aims to
