Abstract:

Tree and house sparrows are the most common sparrows in China, but sparrow populations have experienced extreme, man-made declines in history. Sparrows have been listed as beneficial birds in China, but the protective behavior of sparrows is almost invisible. This paper discusses the status of sparrows in China, compares the protection and coping methods of sparrows abroad, and provides possible protection schemes: (1) to provide adequate high-quality food sources in sparrow habitat; (2) to reduce the impact of habitat fragmentation; (3) to reduce unnecessary human intervention on sparrows; (4

Abstract:

Urban planning and management need long-term population level studies for evaluating how urbanization influences biodiversity. Firstly, we reviewed the current population trends of the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) and the Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) in Europe, and evaluated the usefulness of citizens’ science projects to monitor these species in Finland. Secondly, we conducted a long-term (1991–2020) winter field study in 31 urban settlements along a 950 km north–south extent in Finland to study how latitude, weather and urbanization influence on sparrow’s growth rates.

Abstract There are three Passer species in Lesotho: House Sparrow P. domesticus, Cape Sparrow P. melanurus, and Grey-headed Sparrow P. diffusus. The House Sparrow is an introduced species, recorded first in Lesotho in 1954. Today, all three species are very numerous (as dominants or subdominants) in urban and rural areas in all ecozones in the country. With an increase of altitude the proportion of Cape Sparrows in relation to the other sparrow species increases, while the reverse is true for the Grey-headed Sparrow. The proportion of House Sparrows appears to be only slightly affected by alti

The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus L.) known as both pest and predators; in the urban area, it is considered a pest because of its droppings, feathers, and nests around the house. Meanwhile, in rural areas, it is considered both pests and predators because their diets are small insects and small grains like a grain in the rice field. This study aimed to determine the daily consumption rate of sparrows on grain; their preferred food; identify the adaptability; and the role of sparrows in urban and rural areas.

<strong>Abstract</strong> Mobile hosts like birds occupy a wide array of habitats in which they encounter various vector and parasite faunas. If the infection probability for vector-borne parasites varies among seasons and biomes, a migratory life can critically influence the infections of a host. The growing body of literature on avian blood parasites suggests that host migrations do not only influence prevalence of infection but can also evoke higher infection intensities and increased parasite diversity in migrant compared to resident host species.

ABSTRACT The 2004 outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 disease in China led to a great poultry loss and society attention. A survey of avian influenza viruses was conducted on tree sparrows (Passer montanus) collected in China in 2004. Four viruses were isolated from free-living tree sparrows. The results of the whole-genome analysis indicated that an H5N1 virus with a new genotype is circulating among tree sparrows. The hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes of the new genotype were derived from Gs/Gd/96-like viruses and the nuclear protein gene descended from the 2001 genotype

The primary aim of this study was to assess the morphological characteristics and feeding preferences of the Sindh sparrow. A total of 20 Sindh sparrow samples were collected from the marshes of District Bahawalnagar, Punjab, Pakistan. Measurements including bodyweight, total length, tail length, wingspan, single wing length, primary wing length, tarsal, metatarsal, head size, bill length, and body circumference were recorded. Significant differences were found in morphometric characteristics between male and female sparrows. Specific morphometric measurements were taken for male sparrows, inc

Abstract In contrast to the Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) and Song Sparrow (M. melodia), vocal studies of the congeneric Lincoln's Sparrow (M. lincolnii) are essentially lacking. To provide comparative data on song variation in this species, we obtained and analyzed recordings from 58 males (4,537 songs) breeding in montane meadows of the Sierra Nevada and San Bernardino Mountains, California. Males sang from one to six song types, and repertoire size averaged 3.7 types. No two males shared an identical song type. Males varied their types by changing the number of repetitions of a syllab

A thorough study of house sparrow behaviour and its population is essential to revive its population status which is the need of the hour. Therefore, the nature of sparrow population, their nests, water and food sources, interspecific competitions and noise pollution were taken into consideration in the present investigation, which documented its first research carried at Chinnamanur town, Uthamapalayam taluk of Theni district, Tamil Nadu, India. The study period was divided into summer and winter seasons and the survey was carried out for a period of nine months from April 2019 to December 20

We used δ13C and δ15N stable isotope analysis on blood collected from breeding adults of both species in each of two habitats on Triangle Island, British Columbia, Canada, to test the hypothesis that the two species exhibit a consistent pattern (direction) of dietary segregation in different habitat types. Both δ13C and especially δ15N values differed between h

Abstract Grassland birds have declined throughout North America. In the midwestern United States, reclaimed surface mines often provide expanses of contiguous grassland that support grassland birds. However, some reclaimed surface mines often experience severe woody vegetation encroachment, typically by invasive trees and shrubs, including black locust Robinia pseudoacacia, autumn olive Elaeagnus umbellata, and bush honeysuckle Lonicera spp. We conducted point-count surveys to investigate the effects of woody canopy cover and response to treatments of woody vegetation on the abundance of birds

Sunflower seeds are a favourite food of house sparrows.

There was no marginal planting of sunflowers around the vineyard ('Red Raisin' cultivar) in the first three years of the experiment (2015-2017), and the sparro

In constrast, most males showed no response to control white-crowned sparrow song, although two individuals showed a strong interspecific response.

The Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) is a habitat generalist and successful colonist of habitats altered by man and of small islands. The Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) is more restricted in its habitat distribution, occurring primarily in marsh or marsh-like habitats. In field experiments I examined the role of certain aversions in shaping the apparent difference in ecological plasticity found in these species. I tested for differences in aversion to feeding in the presence of novel objects and away from cover and found that such conditions greatly reduced the visitation rate of Swamp Sp

Stable isotopes may provide clues to help locate these nonbreeding populations. Previously, no valid records existed for the Coastal Plain Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana nigrescens) from October to late April. We used stable-isotope (C, N, and H) analyses to provide estimates of where molt occurs and then searched those areas for individuals of this species.

Besides the mutations there is also a, presumably, non-heritable aberration called Progressive Greying described. Progressive Greying is in fact by far the most common colour aberration foun
