Physiological predictors of reproductive performance in the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2018 Background It is widely assumed that variation in fitness components has a physiological basis that might underlie selection on trade-offs, but the mechanisms driving decreased survival and future fecundity remain elusive.

The perception of Glass patterns by starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2014 Glass patterns are structured dot stimuli used to investigate the visual perception of global form. Studies have demonstrated that humans and pigeons differ in their processing of circular versus linearly organized Glass patterns. To test whether this comparative difference is characteristic of birds as a phylogenetic class, we investigated for the ...

Hand-rearing reduces fear of humans in European starlings, Sturnus vulgaris. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Pending changes in European legislation ban the use of wild-caught animals in research. This change is partly justified on the assumption that captive-breeding (or hand-rearing) increases welfare of captive animals because these practices result in ...
