The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas science is drastically slowed hindered by a lack standards networking programmes. Long-term studies individually marked animals are not an exception. These especially important as instrumental for understanding evolutionary ecological processes wild. Furthermore, their number global distribution provides unique opportunity to assess generality patterns address broad-scale issues (e.g. climate change). To solve enable new scale...
Capsule: The distribution range of the European Roller Coracias garrulus has undergone large changes over geological times, but although species is warm-adapted, human induced climate change predicted to affect negatively currently populations.Aim: Information on species-specific vulnerability crucial not only for designing interventions and setting conservation goals, also inform decision-making. Our goal was map suitability in Western Palaearctic under current climate, past (last glacial...
The black‐headed bunting is one of the few species that migrate along Indo‐European flyway, and its migration routes phenology are poorly understood. We provide first individual‐based year‐round tracking study describing route choice timing buntings migrating from a breeding site in Croatia to 6000 km distant non‐breeding region Maharashtra, central India. To evaluate landscapes important for migration, we quantified land covers climates corridor. Stopover areas during post‐breeding were...
Abstract The breeding period is a demanding and time-constrained phase for migratory bird species. Breeding outcome duration can interact with the extent of post-breeding movements, resulting in individual differences space use ultimately influencing later stages annual cycle. We present space-use home range estimates during season 21 European rollers Coracias garrulus tracked between 2018 2022, Italy Croatia. Using high-resolution spatial GPS data coupled regular nest-box monitoring, we...
Capsule: In Yellow-legged Gull Larus michahellis populations from the eastern Adriatic Sea, there are considerable differences in ratio of migratory birds and apparent survival among colonies. Survival was dependent on age, colony area dispersal.Aims: To identify within Gulls, to compare gulls during migration central northern Europe around Sea.Methods: We analysed 15 years resighting data Gulls using a MARK multi-state model calculate rates. The effects natal dispersal were...
The Croatian population of the eagle owl Bubo bubo (Linnaeus, 1758) is estimated at 800–1200 breeding pairs with majority in Mediterranean region, along eastern Adriatic coast. main aims this work were two-fold: (1) to determine territorial densities central part Croatia; and (2) examine landscape composition configuration study plots consider possible reasons for differences recorded densities. abundance was surveyed from 2001 2006 within three similar size (a total survey area 246 km2):...
In the fourth report of Croatian Birds Rarities Committee, new accepted records rare birds that were submitted to committee in period 2012-2016 are reported.Ten species, which one is treated as escape from captivity, and two subspecies have been observed Croatia for first time.The list now holds 396 species categories A, B C, 5 category C E. Further 11 recorded E D, these not included Croatia.Three removed due increasing number their observations.The bird taxa includes 72 E, 4...
Citizen science data have already been used to effectively address questions regarding migration, a fundamental stage in the life history of birds. In this study, we use from eBird and 3 additional regional citizen databases describe migration routes timing red-footed falcon Falco vespertinus Mediterranean region across 8 years (2010-2017). We further examine seasonal yearly variation patterns explore sites during species migration. Our results suggest that autumn passage is spatially less...
We surveyed the Ural Owl Strix uralensis macroura from 1993 to 2007 determine geographic range of species in Croatia and provide information on its density habitat preferences. conducted playback surveys at 365 survey points within 19 plots (total area 1070 km2) systematically covering all major forest types Croatia. Surveys were also carried out 144 calling stations arranged transects 133 scattered over larger areas. Playback twice along transects, once stations. A total 234 territories...
Abstract Populations of long-distance migratory species may exhibit dissimilarities in the leeway scheduled annual migration programs, routes they follow and their convergence at ecological barriers. The aim this study was to fill current geographical gap, spanning over 1,100 km longitudinally between southern France eastern Austria, pan-European assessment ecology European Roller Coracias garrulus , contribute completing puzzle spatio-temporal patterns migration, stopover wintering...
