Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Offshore wind farm avoidance by a discard‐feeding seabird is independent of local fishing activity

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Fishing is not allowed within wind farms; therefore, discard‐feeding seabirds may appear to avoid wind farm areas. We found that most Lesser Black‐backed Gulls avoided the wind farm area, but not each individual in each period. Avoidance of the wind farm was not driven by fishing exclusion within its perimeter.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Nesting of Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) on man-made structures in Ukraine

Vìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Bìologìâ, Ekologìâ, 2016
In Ukraine the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo Linnaeus, 1758) uses a rather wide range of habitats for nesting: islands, trees and shrubs, reedbeds and a variety of man-made structures.

Nest‐Site Selection in Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica): Patterns Consistent With the Human Proximity Hypothesis Across Three Regions of China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Whether humans facilitate or impede avian reproduction remains a matter of debate. Barn swallows preferentially seek human protection by nesting in inhabited buildings, show a marked preference for older structures. Swallow outdoor nests are higher than indoor nests. ABSTRACT Nest‐site selection is critical to avian reproductive success. Although human

ICHTIOPHAGOUS BIRDS AND POUND PROTECTION [PDF]

Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 1997
Large concentrations of fish in fishponds have always attracted ichtyophagic birds exclusively for easy and plentiful catch. In the course of the fish production process, some bird species, depending on how numerous they are, cause considerable economic ...

What turns us off about green and blue spaces in cities? Understanding perceived problems and unpleasant experiences for more just urban planning, design and management

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2393-2409, July 2026.
Abstract The planning, design and management of urban green and blue spaces necessitate trade‐offs between these spaces' many benefits and their drawbacks, but knowledge of perceived problems and unpleasant experiences in urban green and blue spaces remains limited.

Influence of Local Wind Conditions on the Flight Speed of the Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo

International Journal of Zoology, 2012
In seabirds, the relationship between flight speed and wind direction/speed is thought to be particularly important for studying energy-saving strategy and foraging habitat selection.

Some observations on Seabirds breeding in the Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park.

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1983
In 1980 and 1981 more than 50 pairs of kelp gulls Lams dominicanus, 70 of Cape cormorants Phalacrocorax capensis and 20 of whitebreasted cormorants P. carbo nested in the Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park.
