Abstract Choosing an appropriate nest site is essential for successful breeding. Changes in land use cause populations of many species to decline although some adapt anthropogenic changes. The white stork Ciconia ciconia commonly uses artificial sites. Recently, storks from Western Europe have been using landfills as feeding sites; the beginnings this process are being observed Central-Eastern Europe. study aimed determine factors influencing probability occupation and breeding effect a...
Riverside urban grasslands (distinctive riparian ecosystems situated alongside rivers within cities) can provide several benefits for pollinators, which are crucial the health and sustainability of ecosystems. Maintaining these habitats not only promotes diversity pollinators but also helps mitigate negative impacts human activities on landscape. However, it is still unclear how local environmental vegetation factors affect pollinators' functional taxonomic distribution along riverside in...
Abstract Food wastes are among the factors with greatest effects on animal populations. The white stork is bird species that clearly profit from feeding at landfills, least in Western Europe and North Africa. However, rate consequences of this still unknown Central-Eastern European population, which differs western population not only terms migration routes but also greater availability suitable natural breeding habitats due to less intensified agriculture. aim study was describe use...
Abstract The brain size of vertebrates represents a trade‐off between natural selection for enhanced cognitive abilities and the energetic constraints tissue production. Processing information efficiently can confer benefits, but it also entails time costs. Breeding strategies, encompassing timing breeding onset nest‐site selection, may be related to size. In this study, we aim elucidate relationship size, timing, choice, success in red‐backed shrike Lanius collurio . Our findings revealed...
A major impact of human development is the transformation natural habitats into farming lands and expansion built-up areas. Also, plastic pollution affecting wildlife on a global scale. Discarded ubiquitous accessible for birds, which can incorporate them nest structure. Here, we describe differences in type, prevalence, amount anthropogenic materials between two populations terrestrial, mainly farmland bird, white stork Ciconia ciconia, broad geographical scale, from migratory...
A particular type of site fidelity is faithfulness to the nest site, where birds are not only reoccupying breeding territories but also reusing nests built in previous seasons. Staying faithful believed be an adaptive strategy, and based on ability predict individual's own success, a hypothesis "win-stay:loose-switch" was proposed. In this study, we aimed resolve which factors affect nest-site white stork Ciconia ciconia, species known for available sites. Basing ring recoveries from 31...
Pollinating insects are under high human pressure due to agricultural intensification and urbanization. Although many research conservation projects have been applied worldwide, there is still a need for comprehensive approach that meets local conditioning capabilities. This paper investigated the composition, abundance, richness, alpha, beta, gamma-diversity of pollinators between unused railway embankments semi-natural grasslands. On 50 study sites (25 in railways 25 their reference on...
Comparative research conducted during the past two decades revealed ecological and evolutionary consequences of interspecies differences in relation to brain size. However, relatively much fewer studies have focused on intraspecific variation sizes. This may arise from lack a reliable universal methodology estimate size that can be employed wild populations vivo minimally invasive manner. Here, we assessed whether mass Common Quails ( Coturnix coturnix (Linnaeus, 1758)) was predicted by...
Abstract Many bird species have experienced short- or long-term population declines. However, the mechanisms and reasons underlying such negative changes are often not fully understood, making it difficult to identify effective conservation measures recover populations. In this study, we focused on local in abundance distribution of calling male Corncrakes Crex crex relation to: (1) within- between-season site fidelity adult males, (2) spatial territories consecutive years (3) effect habitat...
Abstract Our current understanding of the function coordinated acoustic displays usually comes from studies conducted over a short period breeding season. However, particular types vocalizations may vary according to sex and context, such can extend beyond time reproduction. To fully understand this phenomenon, analyses year-round singing behavior are required. In study, we focused on small, territorial Afrotropical songbird, Chubb’s Cisticola ( chubbi ). We analyzed structure songs during...
The white stork, Ciconia ciconia, is both a species familiar and charismatic to the public subject of extensive scientific research. Poland harbours substantial breeding population this species, characterized by behaviours typical long-distance migrants. To chart future course for research on Poland's stork population, deepen our understanding its biology as well advance conservation efforts, consultations were held with 41 Polish researchers engaged species. Collectively, these experts...

Abstract Transformation of natural habitats into farming lands and spread built up areas has a pervasive effect on wildlife, especially for birds. Also, plastic pollution is affecting wildlife global scale. Discarded ubiquitous accessible birds, which can be incorporated in the nest structure. By now, large collection studies been published regarding anthropogenic material incorporation by However, are predominately biased to marine To balance this disproportion, we describe here differences...
