Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 299-315, February 2025.
Bite force in parrots has been explored using data from muscle masses. The values were validated by comparison with data for bite force collected from live parrots. The parrot's reputation for a strong bite force is well founded. Abstract Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume.

The magpie and the grapes: increasing ozone exposure impacts fruit consumption by a common corvid in a suburban environment

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 5491-5499, November 2024.
Increasing ozone concentration at the ‘Ozone‐Free Air Controlled Exposure’ facility limited grape consumption by the Eurasian magpie. We provide valuable insights to mitigate human–wildlife conflict in agricultural and suburban environments. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian magpie Pica pica is a resident bird species able to colonize farmlands and ...

Dangerous neighbours: Birds and bird‐eating bats sharing tree cavities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
Greater noctules feed on birds, including Eurasian blue tits, with the presumed strategy being in‐flight capture, yet no direct observations confirming this holds true. We recorded the successful nesting of blue tits in a tree cavity shared with around 25 greater noctules and recorded no predatory interactions over the whole nesting period.
