Abstract:
Since the Edible Dormouse (<em>Glis glis</em>) was introduced to England in 1902, it very slowly invaded a wider area west of London. A recent and more rapid increase in both numbers and distribution is reported. Regular population monitoring for 23 years by volunteers at a woodland study site using nestboxes, and microchipping individuals, confirmed consistently increasing numbers. Independent reports of culling in buildings (under Licence) also indicates an increasing level of conflict. As part of a formal assessment of all British mammals published in 2018, the <em>Glis</em> population size

Abstract:
The Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) reaches its highest abundance in the northern Great Plains, but much of our understanding of cowbird ecology and host-parasite interactions comes from areas outside of this region. We examine cowbird brood parasitism and densities during two studies of breeding birds in the northern Great Plains during 1990–2006. We found 2649 active nests of 75 species, including 746 nonpasserine nests and 1902 passerine nests. Overall, &lt;1% of nonpasserine nests and 25% of passerine nests were parasitized by Brown-headed Cowbirds. Although the overall frequency of

Ticks were found on six species collecting food on the ground level: Great Tit (Parus major), White Wagtail (Motacilla alba), Rook (Corvus frugilegus), blackbird (Turdus merula), and Nuthatch (Sitta europaea). 56 Ixodidae specimens of four species from two genera were collected from the birds and their nests: Ixodes ricinus (Linnaeus, 1758); I. arboricola Schulze et Schlottke, 1930;

Abstract:
Livestock grazing is a major driver of ecosystem change, and has been associated with significant declines in various bird species worldwide. In Britain, there is particular concern that severe grazing pressure is deleteriously affecting vegetation and birds in upland regions. However, the mechanism by which grazing affects birds is unclear. Here, we report for the first time, to our knowledge, that sheep grazing pressure affects the egg size of a common upland passerine: the meadow pipit Anthus pratensis . We manipulated sheep stocking densities in a replicated field experiment, and found tha

Abstract:
Two approaches to estimating the population size of great albatrosses (Diomedea spp.) were tested in the Auckland Islands, New Zealand. The first approach used a series of aerial photographs taken on Adams Island to produce high-resolution photo-mosaics suitable for counting nesting Gibson’s wandering albatross (Diomedea antipodensis gibsoni). The second involved a direct count from a helicopter of southern royal albatross (D. epomophora) breeding on Enderby Island. Both techniques produced results that closely matched counts of albatrosses attending nests derived from ground counts, although

Great Indian Bustard (GIB), Ardeotis nigriceps is a threatened bird species and listed as critically endangered. Presently, GIB is found only in six states of India i.e. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. During the last 20 years the GIB population has crashed in many areas and presently the population could be as low as 500 birds in India. In Maharashtra, as per survey conducted during 2005-06, about 30 to 36 GIBs were counted. Out of these, 08 birds were reported from Chandrapur and Nagpur districts in Vidarbha region.

A large multi-species gull colony at South Walney in Cumbria, northwest England, has suffered declines over the past 20 years, and from 2016 to 2020 no gull chicks fledged despite up to 4,000 pairs of adults attempting to breed each year. The primary cause of nest failure was predation. In an attempt to reverse this decline, a predator exclusion fence was erected around the remnant gull colony in March 2021, and population and productivity surveys were carried out over the 2021 and 2022 breeding seasons. In 2021, 53, 27 and 40 chicks fledged from 263 Herring Gull, 186 Lesser Black-backed and 3

Bumblebees have undergone dramatic declines both in Britain and further afield during the last century. Bumblebees provide a crucial pollination service to both crops and wild flowers. For these reasons, they have received a great deal of research attention over the years. However, the ecology of wild bumblebee nests and the interactions between nests and other species, particularly vertebrates has been somewhat understudied. This is largely due to the difficulty in finding sufficient nests for well replicated study and a lack of appropriate methods of observation. Here, methods for locating b

The global loss of biodiversity calls for robust large-scale diversity assessment. Biological diversity is a multi-faceted concept; defined as the “variety of life”, answering questions such as “How much is there?” or more precisely “Have we succeeded in reducing the rate of its decline?” is not straightforward. While various aspects of biodiversity give rise to numerous ways of quantification, we focus on temporal (and spatial) trends and their changes in species diversity. Traditional diversity indices summarise information contained in the species abundance distribution, i.e. each species'

The natural history of the Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus and the Great Spotted Cuckoo Clamator glandarius, the two species that live in Europe where they have been observed for many years, is well known.

Abstract The Great Tit Parus major is a small (18 g) hole-nesting passerine that readily uses nest boxes. It has been extensively studied in Western Europe. In this chapter we present results from two long-term studies carried out in nine different study plots in northern Belgium where we provided a superabundance of wooden nest boxes. The quality of food and shelter varies considerably between study sites and seasons and this may be linked with the birds’ social behaviour. The Great Tits in these sites are socially monogamous, but extra-pair nestlings are found in about one-third of the nests

Abstract:
Abstract Avian brood parasitism is an excellent system for studies of coevolution, as the interacting species are few, and often only two (Rothstein 1990). Parasites exploit hosts by laying eggs in their nests, and leaving parental care of the parasitic offspring to the host. The fitness cost of parasitism to hosts is often high because: (1) parasite females, before laying, usually remove or damage at least one host egg; (ii) the parasite young ejects all host offspring or outcompetes most of them for food during the nestling period; and (iii) the host often provides extensive parental care fo

Abstract The ludicrous sight of a fledgling cuckoo or cowbird being fed by an adult host less than half its size (cover of book) makes it easy to see why parasitic birds have attracted so much attention. A person would have to be devoid of all curiosity to not wonder how such a relationship arose between two very different species and why hosts allow themselves to be part of the whole process. Much of this book addresses such questions about brood parasites, which are individuals that lay eggs in the nests of other individuals. The latter individuals, the hosts, then raise the parasitic young,
