Nest attendance behavior is a critical component of avian ecology that influences nest survival and population productivity. Birds that provide uniparental care during incubation and brood-rearing must balance the benefit of reproductive success[...]

Assortative mating is an important aspect of mate choice, especially in species where both sexes express ornamentation. Such ornaments could function as signals of individual quality and could result in individuals mating with partners of simila[...]

Throughout their annual cycle, migrants often adopt different foraging and microhabitat usage strategies. Previous studies treat migrants as niche-trackers/niche-followers, i.e., they track similar niches along their annual cycle, almost exclusi[...]

Many populations of European migrant bird species are declining and this may be driven by survival rates; however, there are few studies that can estimate true survival rates. Cyprus wheatears Oenanthe cypriaca are an endemic migrant that winter[...]

Miniaturized light-level geolocators are becoming increasingly popular devices for the study of avian migration. However, the effects of these devices on birds’ flight behaviour, and hence fitness components, are poorly known. We investigated th[...]

Sex identification of birds is relevant to studies of evolutionary biology and ecology and is often a central issue for the management and conservation of populations. The Ivory Gull Pagophila eburnea (Phipps, 1774) is a rare high-Arctic species[...]

The Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria is usually placed in a monotypic family or subfamily within the superfamily Certhioidea, with assumed close relationships to Certhia (treecreepers), Sitta (nuthatches) and Salpornis (spotted creepers). Previous[...]

We examined migration routes and non-breeding sites of a poorly studied long-distance migrant, the Semi-collared Flycatcher Ficedula semitorquata, by tracking adult birds with geolocators from an eastern European breeding population across two s[...]

In the last decades, the effects of climate warming have been particularly marked in high mountain areas. High-altitude species adapted to cold temperatures are consensually held to be particularly vulnerable to climate warming. Among these spec[...]

Mallards do not show genetic differentiation into migratory populations across typical flyways. It is also known that some Mallard populations are non-migratory. The aim of this study was to test if genetic structure exists between migratory and[...]

The conventional method to determine avian flight initiation distance (the distance at which birds exposed to an approaching human activity initiate escape behavior) overestimates this distance for perched birds because it uses the distance betw[...]

The use of nestboxes to study secondary cavity nesting avian species has greatly improved the knowledge related to many fields of environmental sciences. The aim of this study has been to compare the breeding performance of Great Tits (Parus maj[...]

Female song is recognized to serve a similar function as male song and underlies sexual selection processes; yet certain patterns of the expression of female singing behaviour are not in line with traditional explanations known from male songbir[...]

Understanding patterns in avian migration phenology and the proximate mechanisms for such patterns is important for assessing behavioural responses of individuals or populations to climate change. Among songbirds, protandry in spring is a common[...]

Population dynamics of annually breeding bird species depend crucially on productivity, and so this variation can help us understand the causes of declines in migrant birds. We investigated variation in annual productivity 2010–2012 in the Cypru[...]

Bird populations exposed to different extrinsic conditions often differ in the responsiveness of the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and thus in corticosterone response that individuals mount when facing stressful events. However, the c[...]
