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

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