The Calabrian Apennines: Important Bird Area (IBA) for the Autumn migration of Raptors

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2012
Observations on the autumn migration of raptors were carried out on the Calabrian Appennines in the area where the Italian peninsula is only 30 km wide.

Field evaluation of artificial intelligence early warning for bird depredation at carp ponds

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
An artificial intelligence‐based early‐warning workflow for bird depredation at a commercial carp farm in Japan. Abstract Piscivorous birds such as the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) can cause substantial losses in pond aquaculture, yet continuous on‐site vigilance is difficult under labor shortages.

Biodiversity indicators for breeding passerines in a multiple-cuckoo system in China: A comparison of cuckoos and raptors

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
In the Anthropocene, monitoring and assessing biodiversity and taking conservation measures due to declining biodiversity is an urgent task. However, resource and time constraints make it unfeasible for biodiversity surveys to cover all taxonomic groups;

The Greatest Show (Birds) on Earth: Public Presentations and Their Welfare Impacts on Zoo‐Housed Birds

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Birds involved in bird shows were compared against non‐show birds regarding show paticipation, behaviour, body score condiiton, and feather condition. Additionally, comparisons between on and off show days as well as before and after the show were made to investigate differences in behaviour and condition. Show birds demonstrated a closer to ideal body

The Experience in Creating Protected Zones Around Nests of Birds of Prey and Black Stork in Ukraine

open access: yesПернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
This article concludes a brief information about the project for the creation of protected zones around nests of the raptors and black storks in different national parks in the framework of a project supported by the Rufford Foundation in 2017. There are

Developments in monitoring of diurnal raptors: use of citizen science to investigate diets

open access: yes
Wildlife monitoring can provide knowledge of species distribution, abundance, biology, ecology, or threats. Such knowledge is essential for completing threatened species assessments and informing conservation actions.

Seasonal body mass changes in Eurasian Golden Plovers Pluvialis apricaria staging in the Netherlands: decline in late autumn mass peak correlates with increase in raptor numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Eurasian Golden Plovers Pluvialis apricaria staging in the Netherlands during the non-breeding season show strikingly constant seasonal changes in body mass with a first mass peak in late November and December and a second peak in late April and May ...

No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Long‐term patterns of breeding range expansion mirror invasion dynamics during recolonisation of a semi‐colonial raptor

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We used a unique long‐term dataset of population recovery in the Osprey Pandion haliaetus to reveal the similarity in spatial patterns underpinning recolonisations and biological invasions. Our findings highlight the importance of rare pioneering movements in driving range expansion, and the value of conservation interventions such as species ...
