Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

Resting Behaviour of Parrots Loriculus galgulus
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2014 This study analysed the preferences of perch size and position in the aviary in a group of 6 lorikeets (Loriculus galgulus). We monitored the presence of the lorikeets in four different locations in the aviary – on the original perches, floor, wire mesh ...
