Abstract:
The present paper is part of a discursive study in the field of human sciences to rethink the devastating practice of bird depenage in the contemporary world. Our intention is to conduct a research focusing on the large area of Letters, to observe how some practices constitute weight for the regeneration of the environment. Therefore, in what we call the pedagogy of the environment, we propose to discuss what large electronic portals have evidenced about the human action of bird depenage, alerting to the consequences of excessive practice. This manuscript allows dialogue between the fields of knowledge of languages and nature sciences, from data devilgados by the PORTAL ANDA. We focus on critical looks to discuss the depenage of live birds for the human consumption of feathers. All work involves processes of animal suffering and human satisfaction, being possible to reflect, through ecocriticism, how to deal harmoniously with the environment.

Abstract:
Caponization is generally supposed to affect the growth performance, carcass composition, and meat quality of male chickens. The present research work was conducted on 90-day-old Fayoumi male birds at Shahedul Alam Quaderi Teaching Veterinary Hospital Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University during the period from August 2018 to October 2018. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of caponization on surgical efficacy and complications, growth performance, and blood parameter changes (CBC, serum protein, and glucose). The experiment was divided into two groups, an experimental group, and a control group with an equal number of birds (n = 10). Only the birds of the experimental group were caponized at the age of 90 days and reared for 62 days until they reached 152 days of age. Each bird in both groups was given equal care, feeding, water, and housing. Each bird was given a separate tag number for record-keeping. The present study revealed that 20% of birds died during surgery, and on the next day of surgery, 40% of birds were found to develop wind puff, and the average wound healing period was 6 days. The feed and water intake were slightly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. There were no significant variations in body weight gain, feed, or water intake. Blood CBC (except PCV value and monocyte count), serum protein, and glucose levels were also not significantly changed between the two groups (p>0.05). But the present study revealed that caponization significantly decreases the PCV value of blood and significantly keeps the monocyte count stable with the age of poultry (p 0.05).

Abstract:
Newcastle Disease (ND) is a contagious viral disease of birds affecting many domestic and wild avian species. Even though vaccines and vaccination schedules are currently being employed in the prevention of the disease, prevention and control are still a problem in the poultry industry. This study was conducted at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U), Zaria and the aim was to determine the monthly, yearly and seasonal prevalence of ND diagnosed in the Avian Clinic of the VTH, A.B.U., Zaria. Case record files were collected, studied, and clinically diagnosed cases of ND for five years (2014-2018) were extracted. Diagnosis of ND was by history of the case, clinical findings and post mortem lesions observed. Results showed that out of 1,768 cases of poultry presented, 42.6% (754 cases) were confirmed via necropsy findings as ND. The highest number of cases of the disease was in June having a prevalence of 4.98% followed by March with a prevalence of 4.64% and July with a prevalence of 4.47%. The annual prevalence was highest in 2014 (14.82%). The cases of ND were observed to be higher in the pre-rainy season (April to June) with a prevalence of 12.33%. The environmental stress condition of these periods of the year was likely to be the main reason that potentiate and worsen the occurrence of ND at these periods. Also, stress condition suppresses the immune system of birds making them more susceptible to infection leading to an outbreak of disease. It is recommended to administer anti-stress before these periods in order to protect the birds from the disease.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to monitor, analyse and assess the effectiveness of using idioms in mastering students’ vocabulary knowledge and improving speech in EFL class. The leading research method was a three-stage experiment. To successfully conduct the experiment, there were compiled a list of an active vocabulary and a list of English idioms that contain this vocabulary. All these were to meet the syllabus topics. A total of 62 school students were observed in this experiment. The obtained results were positive, indicating the fact that teaching vocabulary in idiomatic expressions turned out to be more appealing to learners and more effective than ‘teaching laundry lists of vocabulary alone’. The paper discusses issues and practices of teaching topical vocabulary in EFL class and offers general recommendations for foreign language instructors.

Abstract:
The continuous use of antibiotics in compound feed at sub-therapeutic level has been an integral part of commercial poultry production in Nepal, which is one of the factors that promotes bacterial resistance. Hence, with the objective to determine antibiotic resistance in commercial poultry of Nepal, this study was designed taking Escherichia coli as a flagship bacterium. The commercial layers and broilers birds brought to veterinary teaching hospital of Agriculture and Forestry University by commercial poultry producers for disease diagnosis and treatment were considered as clinical examination of birds were carried out followed by post mortem examination (PME). Those layer/broiler birds which were not taking antibiotic orally or parenterally for last 2 weeks and diagnosed with collibacillosis on PME were included in sampling frame. Air sacculitis, fibrinous pericarditis, fibrinous perihepatitis, and coligranuloma were major criteria for presumptive diagnosis of colibacillosis on PME. The first 40 for both broiler and layer birds totaling 80 that fulfilled the criteria were selected as samples, each representing a commercial farm. All necessary information on daily management practices and previous treatments were obtained from farmer’s record book or sheets or face to face interview. Avian pathogenic E. coli was isolated from aseptically collected liver samples and confirmed by biochemical tests. Antibiogram of the isolates were investigated by means of Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. E. coli was isolated from all liver samples taken for the culture. It was found that E. coli were resistant most substantially towards Cephalexin (81.2%) and Amoxycillin (81.2%) followed by Tetracycline (78.8%), Colistin sulphate (n=50, 62.5%). Chloramphenicol (61.2%), Ciprofloxacin (55.0%), Enrofloxacin (53.8%), Levofloxacin (28.8%), however, no resistance was found against amikacin. The proportion of E. coli isolates that were resistance against Colistin sulphate (p<0.05), Chloramphenicol (p< 0.05), Tetracycline (p<0.001), Ciprofloxacin (p<0.01), Enrofloxacin (p<0.05) and Gentamicin (p<0.01) were significantly higher in layers compared to that of broilers. In conclusion, avian pathogenic E. coli were resistant towards several antibiotic molecules commonly used in commercial poultry of Nepal, and the resistance was higher in layers compared to broilers.

Abstract:
A 12-week study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of LAYPLUS® (LP) on fertility and egg parameters of female Japanese quails, Coturnix coturnix japonica. Two hundred and ten birds of average weight of 167.75±3.94g were used for this study, and they were allocated randomly into seven treatment groups and replicated thrice. Group 1 served as control without inclusion of LAYPLUS®, while groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 had 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, 750mg/kg and 1000mg/kg inclusion of LP and group 6 had 240mg/kg of vitamin E, respectively, and group 7 clomiphene citrate. Eggs were collected daily and egg production was calculated on a bird-day basis. The data obtained were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. There was significant increase (p<0.05) in the egg production parameters namely egg weight, egg laid per hen and percentage laying rate of LP500mg/kg compared with other groups. The highest percentage egg production was by the LP500mg/kg at 57% while the lowest was by the LP250mg/kg at 41%. There was no significant difference in the egg weight and Haugh unit among the supplemented birds and the control group. There was significant difference among the treatments in the percentage hatchability of the eggs with LP500mg/kg eggs recording the highest value of 95.68%. It can be concluded from this experiment that supplementation of the feed with LP at 500mg/kg had beneficial effect on quail production through improved effect on egg production and hatchability.

Abstract:
The article considers the training method for teaching professionally oriented and intercultural communication. The use of training sessions during the study of educational topics in the classroom activates the students’ work, helps to consolidate the theoretical knowledge obtained, and motivates students for independent, collective, team work. There is no universally recognized classification of training. The article considers the division of training into three types: educational, personal, and professional. All these three types of training are used by the authors as the final stage of work on a certain topic. The work using the training method is described by the example of teaching students in the discipline “Professionally oriented foreign language”, which consists of two modules: professional communication and intercultural communication. The article provides examples of training in the first and second modules. In the first module, training helps to consolidate the so-called “flexible skills”, which cover the following topics: leadership, the ability to manage, criticize, resolve conflicts, speak publicly, persuade, negotiate, hold small-talk conversations, be a business person, learn from animals, birds, have business qualities of a leader. In the second module, students get acquainted with training on intercultural communication; learn to deal with people of other cultures, with the peculiarities of cultures, and with mistakes that can be made at the intercultural level.

Abstract:
Under the conditions of intensive introduction of information technologies into learning practice (presentations, e-books) and various printed media (printed notebooks, dictionaries and reference books), teachers everywhere have ceased to perform nature tours, and during lessons devoted to Surrounding World it becomes common to study nature without nature. Observations of nature and laboratory experiments, introduced in the 19th century to methods of teaching natural science, were referred to as the main methods of teaching natural science to younger schoolchildren in the 20th century. However, in the 21st century the observations nearly disappeared from elementary school, and experiments are performed either as home assignments or are substituted with presentations. Aiming at elimination of drawbacks of verbal presentation of Surrounding World discipline, becoming more and more popular in modern elementary school, the authors tried to analyze the opportunities of close natural surrounding for organization of research activity by younger pupils. This article discusses educational opportunities of the use of urban natural environment in formation of direct observations and nature study by younger pupils. Information about the natural and climatic features of the urban environment, about diversity of flora and fauna species can be useful for the teacher. The mentioned features are exemplified by natural environment of city schools in Kemerovo oblast. Floristic lists of trees and shrubs at schoolyards of some schools in Kuzbass are provided as well as specifications of species diversity of various classes of animal world of the mentioned cities (birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and insects). And though the urban natural environment cannot be considered as rich, the species diversity of synanthropes and ruderal plants of urban nature present wide opportunities as learning material to train investigative researchers capable to see, to analyze, to compare, and to generalize natural phenomena.

Abstract:
A 10-year study of poultry diseases diagnosed at the Avian clinic of Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria was conducted. In all 2999 cases were studied. The commonest diseases afflicting poultry were Newcastle disease, 31.2%, Gumboro 12%, Ectoparasitism 7.7%, Fowl pox 6.8%, Helminthiasis 6.6% and Coccidiosis 6.1%. Most outbreaks occurred in the months of May and June with the highest incidence in 1989. Fowl pox (EP), infectious bursal disease (IBD) and coccidiosis were more prevalent during the rainy season (May-October) while Newcastle disease (NCD) and Aspergillosis were more prevalent in the dry season (November - April). More cases of chronic respiratory disease (CRD), helminthiasis and salmonellosis were found in poultry over 12 weeks old while gumboro, fowl pox and coccidiosis were found more in birds less than 7 weeks old. It was concluded from this study that viral diseases (NCD, IBD, FP) ectoparasitism and helminthiasis were the most important poultry disease in Zaria and young birds were more susceptible. The need for an effective poultry health programme is imperative. It is therefore recommended that effective and uniform vaccinations schedules should be conducted along with regular deworming and ectoparasite control to enhance poultry production

Abstract:
ABSTRACTA central question in language acquisition is how children master sentence types that they have seldom, if ever, heard. Here we report the findings of a pre-registered, randomised, single-blind intervention study designed to test the prediction that, for one such sentence type, complex questions (e.g., Is the crocodile who’s hot eating?), children could combine schemas learned, on the basis of the input, for complex noun phrases (the [THING] who’s [PROPERTY]) and simple questions (Is [THING] [ACTION]ing?) to yield a complex-question schema (Is [the [THING] who’s [PROPERTY]] ACTIONing?). Children aged 4;2 to 6;8 (M = 5;6, SD = 7.7 months) were trained on simple questions (e.g., Is the bird cleaning?) and either (Experimental group, N = 61) complex noun phrases (e.g., the bird who’s sad) or (Control group, N = 61) matched simple noun phrases (e.g., the sad bird). In general, the two groups did not differ on their ability to produce novel complex questions at test. However, the Experimental group did show (a) some evidence of generalising a particular complex NP schema (the [THING] who’s [PROPERTY] as opposed to the [THING] that’s [PROPERTY]) from training to test, (b) a lower rate of auxiliary-doubling errors (e.g., *Is the crocodile who’s hot is eating?), and (c) a greater ability to produce complex questions on the first test trial. We end by suggesting some different methods – specifically artificial language learning and syntactic priming – that could potentially be used to better test the present account.

Abstract:
This treatise provides recorder performers and teachers with a guide to understanding the unconventional notation symbols encountered in Music for a Bird by Hans-Martin Linde and Sieben Stücke Für Altblockflöte by Markus Zahnhausen. Given the context of the overall history of notation, it argues that the idiosyncrasies of the unconventional notation symbols encountered in the recorder repertoire of contemporary composers such as Linde and Zahnhausen are by no means an anomaly. Throughout history, notated scores have functioned merely as incomplete guides to the reconstruction and the realization of musical works. Along with the decoding of these instructions, a host of acculturated meanings have always been taken for granted on the part of the writers of such guidelines. In the light of the modernist crisis and the resultant exacerbation of the gulf between composers and their audience, however, it would seem that the need for such acculturated intervention is greater then ever before. This treatise serves to bridge the gulf between the works of Linde and Zahnhausen on the one hand, and the average performer and teacher of the recorder on the other, by offering an analysis both of the meaning of the unconventional symbols these works contain as well as of the method according to which they should be executed on the recorder.

Abstract:
Many animals socially learn, but very few do so through teaching, where an individual modifies its behaviour in order to facilitate learning for another individual. Teaching behaviour is costly, but can confer numerous advantages, such as high fidelity transmission of information or an increase in the rate of social learning. In many putative cases of teaching, it is not known whether the pupil learns from the modified behaviour. This thesis addresses this issue in three cases of potential teaching behaviour. In particular, it investigates whether the role of food transfers in wild golden lion tamarins is to teach which foods are good to eat (Chapter 5). There was little evidence that novel foods were transferred more than familiar foods, and this was not due to the juveniles attempting to obtain novel foods more than familiar ones, or by adults discarding novel foods more than familiar ones. Transfers were however more successful when donors had previously ingested the food type transferred. Successful food transfers also had a positive correlation with foraging choices once juveniles were older, suggesting they learned from food transfers. In golden lion tamarins, this thesis also examined whether juveniles learned from food-offering calls which substrates were good to forage on (Chapter 6). Juveniles that experienced playback of food-offering calls ate more on a novel substrate, than juveniles that did not experience those playbacks, both immediately as the calls were being played, and in the long term, six months after the playbacks. This suggests that juveniles learned from the playbacks. Finally, this thesis attempted to replicate previous findings showing that hens modify their behaviour when chicks feed from seemingly unpalatable food, and explored whether chicks learned what food to eat based on the maternal display (Chapter 7). The experiment failed to find evidence for teaching behaviour, but results were not inconsistent with previous findings. Moreover, there was little evidence that chicks learned from their mother, quite to the contrary, hens seemed to acquire their foraging decisions based on their chicks' choices.

Abstract:
Theoretical and empirical studies on logging impacts internationally indicate that edges between mature forest and regrowth may alter the abundance and distribution of fauna, with implications for biodiversity conservation. The south-west Western Australian karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) forest bird community is characterised by high degrees of endemism, cooperative breeding and reliance on nest hollows. It may therefore show different responses to clearfelled edges than bird communities in Northern Hemisphere forests, where most edge studies have been carried out. The term Edge Effect was originally defined specifically as an increase in abundance and diversity at the edge but has since been used indiscriminately to describe any change in distribution across an edge, confusing any assessment of the types and prevalence of these changes. For clarity, in this thesis the term Edge Response was used to describe the response of a community, guild or species to edges, and the term Edge Effect restricted to its original definition. I surveyed the international literature to determine the types and prevalence of community level changes in bird distribution across edges. Edge Effects at the community level are not common internationally, while there are many other documented types of edge response. Foraging or functional guilds can differ in their edge responses, and at the species level, edge responses have been demonstrated to differ between habitats for the same species, and may also change seasonally. Therefore, I monitored the distribution of birds at the Community, Guild and Species levels across replicated clear-fell edges (120m and 60m into regrowth, at the edge and 60m into mature forest) between mature forest and 1) Establishment regrowth, 2) Juvenile regrowth and 3) mature forest (control, no edge) in three karri forest areas over four seasons (one year), and one forest area over eight seasons (two IV years). A five minute count of birds within each 30m radius circular plot was repeated approximately five times each season (108 plots in the first year, 36 plots over two years). Mean values of abundance (for the whole bird community and for individual species) and diversity measures for each census point were calculated and analysed with repeated measures ANOVA. Bird behavioural and vegetation data and Mist-netting captures across edges were also investigated. My aims were to 1) describe and quantify any edge-related changes in the distribution and abundance of the birds 2) suggest possible explanations for the patterns observed and 3) propose management actions to minimise negative impacts. There was no Community Edge Effect. The bird community as a whole did not respond to edges themselves, but was most abundant where mature forest was present (including at edges), least abundant and diverse in Establishment regrowth and intermediate in abundance and diversity in Juvenile regrowth. Guilds were poor predictors of species edge responses. Only the Nectarivores showed a unified response to edges - all five species avoided regrowth and four species avoided Juvenile edges. The Granivore/Frugivore guild and the whole Insectivore guild were less abundant in regrowth than in mature forest but did not have higher or lower abundance at the edge. Insectivorous species' edge responses were diverse and not reliably attributed to foraging-strata guilds (Understorey; Shrub; Canopy; All-Levels; Aerial; Bark). The Tree Martin, an Aerial foraging insectivore, showed an Edge Effect at Establishment edges in the first year of the study only. Individual vegetation variables were poor predictors of bird species distributions but overall, floristics changed with forest area not with edge distance, while habitat structural variables varied with edge, forest age and distance from the edge indicating that overall, structural variables were most strongly related to bird edge responses. The proportion of trees of 10-24cm diameterwas highest at Juvenile edges, which were avoided by four Nectarivore species and the bark-foraging Rufous Treecreeper. Ordination grouped bird species by six edge response categories - Avoid edges; Prefer edges; Prefer Mature-forest; Prefer Mature-forest/Juvenile-regrowth; Prefer Establishment-regrowth; Neutral. However for individual species, these edge responses changed both temporally and spatially, emphasising the need for edge studies to be well replicated in both time and space. Some bird species also showed behavioural changes across edges. Species potentially disadvantaged by the creation of clear-fell edges are those avoiding Juvenile edges (Purple-crowned Lorikeet, New Holland Honeyeater, White-naped Honeyeater, Little Wattlebird and Rufous Treecreeper), and those most abundant in Mature forest habitat, but which show great spatial variation in abundance and therefore have unclear responses to edges (Whitebrowed Babbler, Restless Flycatcher). Several management options to ameliorate the effects of edge creation within production forest areas for these species will be discussed.

The proportion of trees of 10-24cm diameterwas highest at Juvenile edges, which were avoided by four Nectarivore species and the bark-foraging Rufous Treecreeper. Ordination grouped bird species by six edge response categories –Avoid edges; Prefer edges; Prefer Mature-forest; Prefer Mature-forest/Juvenile-regrowth; Prefer Establishment-regrowth; Neutral. However for individual species, these edge responses changed both temporally and spatially, emphasising the need for edge studies to be well replicated in both time and space. Some bird species also showed behavioural changes across edges. Species potentially disadvantaged by the creation of clear-fell edges are those avoiding Juvenile edges (Purple-crowned Lorikeet, New Holland Honeyeater, White-naped Honeyeater, Little Wattlebird and Rufous Treecreeper), and those most abundant in Mature forest habitat, but which show great spatial variation in abundance and therefore have unclear responses to edges (Whitebrowed Babbler, Restless Flycatcher). Several management options to ameliorate the effects of edge creation within production forest areas for these species will be discussed.

Abstract:
The ecological communities we observe today are a product of the bidirectional interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes. Although the effects of ecological processes on population divergence and speciation have been studied extensively, far less is known about the effects of divergence and speciation on ecological dynamics. This is especially true for effects of ecological speciation processes on higher trophic levels. In this thesis I focus on how divergence in the European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) affects a guild of six piscivorous bird species. Previous studies have indicated that population densities of these species are higher on lakes with polymorphic whitefish than on lakes with monomorphic whitefish. Here I test the hypothesis that the high densities of piscivores is a response to the rich food resource provided by dwarf whitefish ecotypes, which are of suitable size and occur in very high abundance.To test this hypothesis I analyzed fecal samples from piscivorous birds in lakes with polymorphic whitefish, using samples from lakes with monomorphic whitefish as controls. With the method of ddPCR (digital droplet Polymerase Chain Reaction) the amount of DNA from different prey fish species in the droppings of six fish-eating birds was quantified and converted to proportional abundances. The results shows that the proportion of whitefish in the diet of the entire fish-eating guild was significantly higher in lakes with polymorphic whitefish (44%) than in lakes with monomorphic whitefish (18%). Species-level analyses showed that this result also holds for both black-throated loon (Gavia artica) and red-throated loon (Gavia stellata). Common merganser (Mergus merganser), red-throated merganser (Mergus serrator) and terns (Sterna paradisaea and Sterna hirundo) did not show any difference between the two lake categories. Thus, my study supports the idea that the evolution of small-sized whitefish ecotypes provides a profitable food source for piscivorous birds. However, the finding that only some species of piscivorous bird populations seem to rely heavily on dwarfed whitefish as food suggests that also some other aspect of the speciation process may favor these species. Thus, more studies are needed to further assess what effects polymorphic whitefish have on piscivorous bird populations.

Mestrado em Biologia Aplicada - Ecologia, Biodiversidade e Gestão dos Ecossistemas
O uso de aves, em particular aves aquáticas, como bioindicadores de qualidade ambiental tem vindo a ser aplicado em estudos de diversos tipos de ecossistemas. São vários os atributos que tornam as aves espécies de interesse na biomonitorização ambiental, como a sua abundância, facilidade de encontrar no campo e particularmente sensibilidade a contaminantes ambientais, nomeadamente toxinas e contaminantes bioacumuláveis. Nos últimos anos, uma parte significativa dos estudos de biomonitorização realizados em Portugal tem-se focado essencialmente em organismos de níveis tróficos inferiores (ex. larvas, crustáceos e bivalves), mas pouca atenção tem sido dada a organismos de níveis tróficos superiores, tais como mamíferos ou aves. O presente trabalho teve como principais objetivos: (i) avaliar a exposição ambiental das aves portuguesas a contaminantes ambientais, em particular de aves aceites para reabilitação em centros de recuperação de animais selvagens, (ii) esclarecer se esses fatores podem ou não conduzir à doença das aves e influenciar a sua recuperação, e (iii) entender se o uso de ferramentas ecotoxicológicas pode ou não ser uma mais-valia na monitorização e recuperação dessas mesmas aves. No sentido de esclarecer estas questões foram avaliados marcadores de neurotoxicidade e genotoxicidade em aves aquáticas das ordens Ciconiiformes, Charadriiformes e Pelecaniformes. Na primeira parte deste trabalho (análise de biomarcadores de neurotoxicidade), e em dois estudos independentes, foi feita a caracterização das colinesterases presentes no plasma da cegonha branca (Ciconia ciconia), garça-real (Ardea cinerea) e do ganso-patola (Morus bassanus) e avaliada a reativação da colinesterase (ChE) presente no cérebro da gaivota-argêntea (Larus michahellis). A impossibilidade da interligação entre estes estudos e uma exploração mais detalhada deve-se à (in)disponibilidade de amostras/aves. Na segunda parte deste trabalho, para a avaliação de efeitos genotóxicos, foi analisada a frequência de micronúcleos e outras anomalias nucleares em eritrócitos de cegonha branca (Ciconia ciconia), garça-real (Ardea cinerea), garça-vermelha (Ardea purpurea) e garça-branca-pequena (Egretta garzetta). A pseudocolinesterase (PChE) foi o principal tipo de colinesterase identificada no plasma de C. ciconia, A. cinerea e M. bassanus. Por sua vez, nos ensaios de reativação observou-se um aumento significativo (superior a 50%) na atividade da colinesterase presente no cérebro de L. michahellis, sugerindo exposição prévia destes indivíduos a anticholinesterásicos. Estes resultados sugerem que as aves portuguesas poderão estar expostas a diferentes graus de contaminação ambiental, podendo esta contaminação deteriorar a saúde das aves. O uso de ferramentas ecotoxicológicas na monitorização de aves em reabilitação afigura-se-nos, por isso, como sendo uma mais-valia pois permitirá identificar de forma mais precoce sinais fisiológicos de toxicidade e assim executar uma avaliação mais criteriosa do estado físico das aves. Para além disso, a monitorização através da utilização deste tipo de biomarcadores poderá permitir seguir a potencial recuperação dessas aves.
Birds, including waterbirds, have been used as bioindicators of environmental quality in a broad range of ecosystems. Amongst other attributes, their abundance, conspicuousness and sensibility to environmental contaminants, including bioaccumulative chemicals and toxins, are some of the characteristics that make them key species in environmental biomonitorization. Over the past years a significant part of the Portuguese biomonitoring studies has focused on organisms at lower trophic levels (e.g. larvae, crustacean and mollusks), but failed to address contaminants’ effects upon organisms at higher trophic levels such as mammals or birds. The present study aims were to: (i) assess the exposure of Portuguese birds to environmental contaminants, in particular birds accepted for rehabilitation in wildlife recovery centres, (ii) clarify if these factors could lead to birds illness and influence their recovery, and (iii) understand if ecotoxicological tools can help and be useful tools in the future to monitor and aid bird’s recovery. In order to address these issues, it was assessed markers of neurotoxic and genotoxic exposure in aquatic birds from the orders Ciconiiformes, Charadriiformes and Pelecaniformes. In the first part of this study (the analysis of neurotoxic markers), it was characterized the cholinesterase form present in plasma of the white stork (Ciconia ciconia), grey heron (Ardea cinerea) and northern gannet (Morus bassanus) and the cholinesterase (ChE) reactivation in brain of the yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) was assessed. The impossibility of interconnection between these studies and a more detailed exploration was due to the (un)availability of samples/birds. In the second part of this work, for the assessment of genotoxic effects, the frequency of micronucleus and other nuclear abnormalities was analysed in erythrocytes of the white stork (Ciconia ciconia), grey heron (Ardea cinerea), purple heron (Ardea purpurea) and the little egret (Egretta garzetta). Pseudocholinesterase (PChE) was the main cholinesterase present in plasma of C. ciconia, A. cinerea and M. bassanus. Moreover, cholinesterase activity in brain of L. michahellis was found to get reactivated at a significant extent (activity increase in 50%), suggesting a previous exposure of these individuals to anticholinesterase agents. High levels of genotoxic damage were also observed in the species of Ciconiiformes studied, with these values varying significantly between different years and geographical origins (P < 0.05). These results suggest that Portuguese birds might be exposed to different levels of environmental contamination and that this contamination may impair birds’ health. The use of ecotoxicological tools seems to be a very promising way to help monitor and aid bird’s recovery as it will probably allow screening for early physiological signs of toxicity, therefore enabling a more insightful evaluation of birds’ health condition. Moreover, the use of these types of biomarkers may allow to monitor the potential rehabilitation of these birds.

Abstract:
A simulation matrix population model of a small population of wrens (Troglodytes troglodytes) is presented. The field work methods used to obtain and analyse the demographic rates are provided. This includes a description of the use of miniature radio tags to track juvenile (post-fledging) survival and dispersal, and capture mark recapture analysis of an eight year dataset to estimate adult survival rates, taking into account environmental variation and density dependence. Age related reproductive rates were obtained from detailed nest surveys. Using these demographic rates (means and variances), and information on density dependence in survival and breeding, a simulation matrix model was developed using Matlab (The MathWorks, Inc.). The operation of this model and its outputs are explained in detail, with particular reference to the methods employed to incorporate both density dependent survival and reproduction and environmental and demographic stochasticity. This model is then used to illustrate how, under plausible conditions of density dependence and stochasticity, large discrepancies are obtained between the deterministic, density independent elasticities of the population growth rate (λ) and the stochastic, density dependent elasticities of the equilibrium population size, extinction probability and invasion exponent. Since the elasticities of λ are often used to guide the management of endangered species, these results are particularly relevant to workers in the field of rare species conservation. While the importance of including environmental variation in the form of stochastic population simulations seems to now be generally accepted, the role of density dependent population regulation is still infrequently considered. Since one of the most common causes of population decline is habitat destruction, leading to an increase in population density within the remaining areas of habitat, this omission may rarely be justified. It is recommended that when elasticity analysis is conducted as part of species conservation efforts, both density dependence and stochasticity are included. Failure to do so may result in the misguided management of endangered species.

Abstract:
1. Cost constraints in models of territory size are based on time/activity/laboratory estimates that predict birds using larger territories will incur higher energy costs. The predicted form of the cost constraint may be linear, accelerating or decelerating depending on assumptions inherent in the models. The aim of this study was to assess the reality and form of the cost constraint by making direct measurements of the energy costs of territory use in birds that occupy territories of different size and shape; polygonal territories represented by the robin Erithacus rubecula, and linear by the dipper Cinclus cinclus. Free-living energy expenditure was measured using the doubly-labelled water technique, whilst simultaneously recording patterns of territory use by radio-tracking. 2. Territorial robins concentrated their activity in one or more foraging patches located in bushes. Range polygons containing all the foraging patches used by an individual provided estimates of territory area, and were generally of high eccentricity. A small proportion of robins was classified as non-territorial based on range polygon areas. Furthermore, while territorial robins showed high fidelity to ranges over the short term (days), non-territorial individuals were nomadic. Over the longer term (months), however, some territorial robins showed range drift. Dippers similarly used preferred core regions within ranges, although there was no selection for particular habitat features. 3. Because robins occupied territory polygons which varied from polygonal to highly linear, work was focused on this species to allow intra-specific comparison. Robins tended to commute between foraging patches by flying. It was appropriate, therefore, to describe territories in terms of a number of patches linked by a network of flight paths. This generated two further measures of territory size; the number of patches used and the total flight distance between patches. 4. The robins exploited a renewing food supply. Predictions were tested concerning the temporal scheduling of visits to foraging patches within territories. Patches tended to be separated by flight paths of similar lengths, and were visited in a regular sequence. Although the number of foraging patches used varied, all territories had similar total core areas. Robins using many small foraging patches commuted between patches more often and covered a larger total flight distance during each foraging circuit of the territory. The configurations of foraging patches were used in a highly linear manner. This was true even if the territory containing them was of low eccentricity. 5. Changes in structure and pattern of use varied predictably with territory size, and could be described mathematically. Based on this and published time/activity budgets, a suite of models was developed to predict how energy costs would vary with number of patches used and total flight distance between patches. Models were tested by directly measuring the energy expenditure of robins using different territories. The number of patches used and total flight distance between patches were both significantly correlated with energy expenditure, while territory area was not. One of the models showed a significant fit to the observed data, and suggested that the form of the energy cost constraint on territory size was linear. The effect of territory shape on energy costs was minimal. The implications of these results for models of territory size are discussed. 6. The slope and elevation of the energy cost constraint varied with the morphology of territory occupants. Based on this, an association of morphology with territory size was predicted; robins of lower mass and wing-loading using larger territories. The observed data supported these predictions, and suggested a possible genetic predisposition to particular patterns of territory occupancy in the robin.

Full text
Abstract:
The breeding behaviour of the Blue-throated Bee-eater was studied at two colonies in Peninsula Malaysia during 3 breeding seasons, with particular emphasis on pair behaviour, mixed reproductive strategies and nestling competition. This is the first study of vertebrate social behaviour and ecology to contain the documentation of a relational database. This was designed to store and manipulate all data obtained from regular captures and biometric measurements of adults and nestlings and from observations of adults. DNA fingerprinting was used to establish the true genetic relationships between nestlings and their social parents: most nestlings were genetic offspring (72%). Nestlings were classified as illegitimate offspring using 95% confidence intervals of the band sharing coefficient and number of unexplained nestling bands as criteria. Very few if any nestlings were sired by an extra-pair male (fewer than 5%). Behavioural evidence of strong cooperation between pair members throughout the breeding season supports the DNA fingerprinting results of no confirmed case of offspring fathered by extra-pair males (extra-pair offspring; EPO). The Blue-throated Bee-eater probably has a near monogamous mating system. Most illegitimate nestlings had been 'dumped'. They were either the result of intra-specific nest parasitism (INP; 7%) or of 'quasi' parasitism (the offspring of the pair-male and an extra-pair female; 7-12%). INP by relatives of the hosts could have explained some intermediate band sharing coefficients. Anti-INP behaviour was demonstrated when experimentally 'dumped' eggs were almost always expelled before the onset of laying, but never afterwards. DNA fingerprinting showed that relatives may roost together and that related males may nest close together. Compared with other colonial Bee-eaters, M. viridis had low levels of helping-at-the-nest and EPO, but similar or higher levels of INP. The high nestling mortality in Blue-throated Bee-eaters was explained by a combination of three hypotheses, some of which were tested by experiment. (1) Insurance: extra-eggs are needed to counter hatch failure. (2) Brood reduction (including resource tracking): in times of food constraint, the laterhatched nestlings in asynchrously hatched broods starve. (3) Anti-INP hypothesis: these later-hatched nestlings are eliminated because they are likely to be illegitimate. Hatching failure was about 1 in 3 eggs overall. Help from the male allows an early onset of incubation which results in asynchronous hatching. Nestling hunger was shown to be a proximate factor affecting runt mortality both directly through competition and indirectly through nestling aggression. The demise of runts was delayed when conditions improved. Blue-throated Bee-eater broods are severely limited by food. Under this severe brood size constraint, breeding females may increase reproductive output by 'dumping' their last egg. This leads to the high frequency of INP observed in Blue-throated Bee-eaters. An early onset of incubation also gives the first-laid egg(s) a temporal developmental advantage over subsequently 'dumped' parasitic eggs. The 'dumped' nestlings are eliminated by starvation and siblicide, which may itself be an adaptation to INP to eliminate of unrelated nestlings.

Abstract:
[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2019 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 16] Aim/Purpose: Drone technology has been increasingly used in education. This paper reports a study of assessing teachers’ readiness and training needs for using drone technology in their teaching. Background: New technology promotes new ways of practices. With the sophisticated design and the affordance to explore our world from a bird’s eye perspective, a drone has been increasingly used to support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. However, it also brings challenges to teachers to integrate drone technology in their teaching. It is therefore important to obtain a better understanding of various aspects of integrating drone technology in education. Methodology: A group of pre-service teachers was engaged in a case study conducted using a designed-based approach. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups. They were required to develop lesson plans with the application of drone technology in teaching. The lesson plans were subsequently analyzed using the TPCK framework to identify teachers’ readiness and training needs. Findings: The participants, to a large extent, have sufficient competence to master the skills and knowledge of drone technology and to integrate it into their teaching. However, they were required to strengthen the pedagogical knowledge, subject content knowledge, and technological content knowledge in order to maximize the potential benefits of drone technology in education. Contribution: This paper reports the level of readiness and training needs of teachers regarding the use of drone technology in their teaching. Recommendations for Practitioners: To conduct teacher training regarding the use of drone technology in education, a particular focus should be put on enhancing teachers’ pedagogical knowledge, subject content knowledge, and technological content knowledge. Recommendations for Researchers: Researcher may further explore the strategies to integrate drone technology in teaching. Impact on Society: This paper suggests the area of teacher training regarding the use of drone technology in education. The teaching and learning effectiveness could be improved. Future Research: Future research may study the safety issue and ethical issue of using a drone in education.

Abstract:
The results of the complex parasitological studies conducted in the wild birds of hunting interest as well as domestic birds demonstrates that the phenomenon of the poliparasitism is a static one, although the poliparasitic quantitative and qualitative structure is continuously changing. This is due to instantaneous contact of the wild birds with the domestic ones, irregular deparasiting of domestic animals and their crates, reduced areas for animals breading and maintenance that ensures the permanent contact with the wild birds as the infestation source. The findings of the study on the diversity of the ectoparasitic fauna in wild birds from various anthropic biotopes of Moldova revealed that the wild and domestic birds are infested with multiple parasites and that the most identified parasitoses are common for major birds of hunting interest as well as for the domestic birds.

The paper shows possible calculating damage to agriculture resulting from oil and gas industry activities through an assessment of birds valuable for agriculture and electrocuted on oil and gas infrastructure power lines, and through an assessment of agricultural crop volume saved by birds from rodent destruction. During the season, 65 common kestrels may die on the power lines owned by an oil and gas complex. One family of these birds (a pair of adults with chicks) consumes at least 428 rodents during the breeding season. The extermination of a large number of rodents helps to save up to half a ton of grain crops on average.

Abstract:
Educational services that universities offer to bachelor students are nowadays under the siege of numerous challenges, ranging from financial and institutional issues to fast changing labour market demands. Universities are confronting fast changes and uncertainties, being asked for adaptation, flexibility and higher ability to (re)act and find the best solutions. Within this broad context, university dropout is one particular new challenge that is often overlooked by decision makers and even by the teaching staff. Our study focuses on problems faced by the first year bachelor students of the Faculty of Geography and Geology at the oldest university in Romania, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi, students who have benefitted from support from a program financed by BIRD and World Bank, named Romania Secondary Education Project (ROSE). In order to identify and analyse their academic pathway in the first year of study, we tried to correlate a number of qualitative and quantitative using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The analysis of the results indicates that the prevention of school drop-out should be approached as a continuous process starting from the early years of education. The adaptability to student life depends on the treatment of these inherited and overlooked disadvantages.
