Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) breeding populations in inland North America have declined significantly since the 1970s. A 2012 survey of the large Manitoba lakes, previously the largest known inland population stronghold, reported a 57–67% decline in 20 years. A further 38% decline by 2017 highlights the urgent need for research and management. We use ground-based estimates of productivity and analysis of microsatellite markers to provide the first detailed insight into breeding status and movements of Common Terns in this region. At six breeding colonies in 2012, we recorded breeding success in fenced plots, counted fledglings, documented predators and floods, and collected blood samples for microsatellite analysis of movement. Productivity ranged from 0.0 to 2.0 chicks fledged per nest, being highest at large colonies (> 1000 nests) located far away from human settlements (20–30 km). Large-scale breeding failure from predation occurred at smaller colonies close to human settlement. The most common predators were Blackcrowned Night Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) and Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus), but we also report three novel predators: Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), gray wolves (Canis lupus), and river otters (Lontra canadensis). Microsatellite analysis suggested little eastward emigration, but instead a 100-fold increase in immigration from the Great Lakes between the 1990s and 2010s. Substantial population declines in the Manitoba Lakes despite this influx imply that net losses are occurring within inland-breeding populations. Terns now appear to switch frequently between breeding colonies in the region, possibly in response to predation and/or flooding. Although some colonies achieved productivity during the one-year study, continued population decline indicates that monitoring and studies of adult survival and movement are needed, especially given the on-going environmental changes within the region. Only by coupling these data with further efforts in unsurveyed boreal regions can the status of inland-breeding Common Terns be determined and strategies developed to curb apparent, large-scale population declines.

Agri-environmental measures aim at mitigating the negative impacts of modern agriculture on farmland biodiversity. For example, soil management practices can positively influence the abundance and diversity of songbirds in olive groves by enhancing habitat and food availability. However, little is known about their potential implications on the breeding success of these species. We monitored nest density and breeding performance of tree-nesting birds in 17 olive groves of southern Spain under two contrasting soil management regimes (with and without herbaceous cover) over three years. We analyzed breeding success by examining the transitions between different stages of the breeding cycle for three common cardueline finches: Common Linnet (Linaria cannabina), European Greenfinch (Chloris chloris), and European Serin (Serinus serinus). Breeding success of songbirds was low (19% of 88 nests for L. cannabina, 16% of 196 nests for C. chloris, and 38% of 234 nests for S. serinus). Many nests were abandoned prior to egg laying and nesting failure was highest between egg laying and hatching. Nest predation (56.6%) was the main cause of nest loss. Although soil management regimes did not influence breeding success, the presence of herbaceous cover had opposing effects on nest densities of the three species: groves with herbaceous cover had higher nest densities for greenfinches, lower for serins, and this treatment had no effect on Common Linnet. Other factors, like disturbances due to management activities or interannual weather variation may have a larger impact on nesting success than soil management regimes, at least for some species and for specific stages of their breeding cycle. The fact that nest densities of some birds were negatively affected by soil treatments associated with agri-environmental actions aimed at benefiting biodiversity raises the question of the general applicability of these measures for conservation.

农业环境措施旨在减轻现代农业对农田生物多样性的负面影响。例如,土壤管理做法可以通过改善栖息地和食物供应,对橄榄林中鸣禽的数量和多样性产生积极影响。然而,人们对它们对这些物种繁殖成功的潜在影响知之甚少。在西班牙南部的17个橄榄园中,在两种不同的土壤管理制度(有和没有草本覆盖)下,我们监测了巢密度和筑巢鸟的繁殖性能。通过对三种常见的红雀(Linaria cannabina)、欧洲绿雀(Chloris Chloris)和欧洲丝线雀(Serinus Serinus)在繁殖周期不同阶段之间的过渡进行分析,分析了繁殖成功程度。鸣禽的繁殖成功率较低(88个巢中大麻雀占19%,196个巢中绿绒雀占16%,234个巢中丝光雀占38%)。许多巢在产卵前被遗弃,在产卵和孵化之间筑巢失败是最高的。巢失的主要原因是捕食(56.6%)。虽然土壤管理制度不影响繁殖成功,但草本覆盖的存在对三种物种的巢密度有相反的影响:有草本覆盖的树林中绿雀的巢密度较高,丝绒雀的巢密度较低,而这种处理对红雀没有影响。其他因素,如管理活动引起的干扰或年际天气变化,可能比土壤管理制度对筑巢成功的影响更大,至少对某些物种及其繁殖周期的特定阶段是如此。一些鸟类的巢密度受到与旨在促进生物多样性的农业环境行动有关的土壤处理的负面影响,这一事实提出了这些保护措施是否普遍适用的问题。在不同的环境中,不同的个体在不同的密度下会产生不同的影响;在不同的环境中,会产生不同的影响;在不同的环境中,会产生不同的影响;在不同的环境中,会产生不同的影响。农业环境因素对农业环境的影响,对农业环境的影响,对现代农业的影响,对生物多样性的影响,对土地的影响。例如,“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”、“营养多样性”。在此之前,所有的人都有可能成功地繁衍后代。在西班牙,有17个国家和地区,有15个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区,有3个国家和地区。la Linotte m lodiuse(大麻Linaria), le Verdier d'Europe (Chloris Chloris), and le Serin cini (Serinus Serinus)。生殖成功率(88株大麻属19%,196株绿螺旋体16%,234株丝状螺旋体38%)。De nombreux nids - not - sametest - not - sametest - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not - not变性者(56.6%):变性者是变性的主要原因。在过去的几个月里,所有的变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人,变性人都是变性人。不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素,不确定因素。在某些情况下,某些因素会影响到其他因素,例如:交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器、交换器等。

. For many bird species, but especially aerial insectivores, reproduction depends on weather. Climate change is likely to intensify effects, but with uncertain consequences. We report 22 years of data on Eastern Kingbird ( Tyrannus tyrannus ) reproduction for two populations located in different hygric environments undergoing climate change; mesic central New York, USA, (NY; 12 years) and xeric southeastern Oregon, USA, (OR: 10 years). Laying date became earlier with increasing temperature in the 30-day period preceding laying in identical fashion at both sites, and in years of early laying, clutch size was larger, length of laying season increased, and failed initial nesting attempts were more often replaced. High temperature in the 10-days preceding mean laying date was associated with shorter laying seasons, while a site by 10-day temperature interaction reflected an increase and decrease of clutch size with increasing 10-day temperature in NY and OR, respectively. Seasonal rate of clutch size decline was higher when the laying season was short but also slowed in xeric OR when rain was abundant in the 10-days prior to mean laying date. Nest predation drove annual variation in young fledged/nest, but the latter also increased and decreased with increasing maximum temperature during the nestling phase in mesic NY and xeric OR, respectively. Potential effects of climate change on kingbird populations are thus high given the dependence of reproduction on weather, and climate change likely contributed to declines of kingbirds in OR. Declines of kingbirds in NY appear unrelated to warming climates because higher temperatures advanced laying dates and yielded greater nest productivity. However, length of laying season declined across years at both sites, and thus early season gains may be negated by poor conditions late in the season that may be causing shorter laying seasons. Further work is needed to identify causes for the latter changes. a été associée à des saisons de ponte plus courtes, tandis que l’interaction entre le site et la température sur 10 jours s’est traduite par une augmentation et une diminution de la taille de la ponte avec l’augmentation de la température sur 10 jours dans NY et l’OR, respectivement. Le taux saisonnier de diminution de la taille de la ponte était plus élevé lorsque la saison de ponte était courte, mais il a également ralenti dans l’OR lorsque la pluie était abondante dans les 10 jours précédant la date de ponte moyenne.

. 对许多鸟类来说,尤其是空中食虫动物,繁殖取决于天气。气候变化可能会加剧影响,但后果不确定。本文报道了气候变化条件下不同水文环境下东部王鸟(Tyrannus Tyrannus)种群22年的繁殖数据。美国纽约中部,(NY;12年)和美国俄勒冈州东南部干旱地区(OR: 10年)。在产蛋前30天内,随着温度的升高,产蛋日期提前,产蛋数增加,产蛋季节长度增加,首次筑巢失败的次数增加。在平均产蛋日期前10天的高温与较短的产蛋季节相关,而10天温度相互作用的地点分别反映了纽约和OR的卵数随10天温度的升高而增加和减少。产蛋季节较短时,卵数下降的季节速率较高,而在平均产蛋日期前10天雨量充沛的干旱期,卵数下降的季节速率较慢。巢捕食驱动雏鸟/巢的年际变化,但雏鸟/巢也分别随巢期最高温度的升高而升高和降低。考虑到繁殖对天气的依赖性,气候变化对王鸟种群的潜在影响是很高的,气候变化可能导致了OR地区王鸟数量的下降。纽约王鸟数量的减少似乎与气候变暖无关,因为高温提前了产卵日期,提高了巢的产量。然而,在这两个地点,产蛋季节的长度逐年下降,因此,产蛋季节早期的收益可能会被产蛋季节后期的恶劣条件抵消,这可能会导致产蛋季节缩短。需要进一步的工作来确定后一种变化的原因。疾病associee des适用于de桥+法院,tandis, le站点之间可能有相互作用等温度拉苏尔10天时间年代是traduite par增一个等一个减少de la身材de la桥用l 'augmentation de la温度在10天时间在纽约et l ' or respectivement。在这10个小时的时间里,所有的时间都是在这10个小时里,所有的时间都是在这10个小时里,所有的时间都是在这10个小时里,所有的时间都是在这10个小时里,所有的时间都是在这10个小时里。年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化所引起的年龄变化。影响、潜力、气候变化、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量、人口数量等。La baisse des tyrans和NY semble都有类似的条件,例如,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有条件的,有生产力的,有条件的。图特福斯,一个小女孩,一个小女孩,一个小女孩,一个小女孩,一个小女孩,一个小女孩。所有的所得都是由薪金和其他薪金组成的,但这些薪金和其他薪金都是由薪金和其他薪金组成的。-être薪金和其他薪金和其他薪金都是由薪金和其他薪金组成的。没有一个人能代替其他的人,也没有一个人能代替其他的人。

. Species response to land use can be examined under a functional perspective, where habitats are described according to species´ resource dependencies. Distribution or abundance models based on resource availability rather than land use types can be more informative about the ultimate processes behind observed population or distribution trends. Habitat use may depend on resources available, as well as disturbances that affect accessibility to such resources. Increasing human presence and urban encroachment may thus alter the relationships between habitat suitability and species abundance. Using 10 years of field data, we investigated whether variability in Little Bustard ( Tetrax tetrax ) abundance was explained by functional habitat suitability (assessed through resource-based models) and urban encroachment. We found that spatial and temporal variations in Little Bustard abundance were explained by functional habitat suitability and avoidance of urban areas, but that the significance of each variable varied with spatial scale. Little Bustard abundance at each observation point significantly increased with local nesting but not foraging habitat suitability, and decreased with increasing proportion of urban areas.

Species response to land use can be examined under a functional perspective, where habitats are described according to species´ resource dependencies. Distribution or abundance models based on resource availability rather than land use types can be more informative about the ultimate processes behind observed population or distribution trends. Habitat use may depend on resources available, as well as disturbances that affect accessibility to such resources. Increasing human presence and urban encroachment may thus alter the relationships between habitat suitability and species abundance. Using 10 years of field data, we investigated whether variability in Little Bustard ( Tetrax tetrax ) abundance was explained by functional habitat suitability (assessed through resource-based models) and urban encroachment. We found that spatial and temporal variations in Little Bustard abundance were explained by functional habitat suitability and avoidance of urban areas, but that the significance of each variable varied with spatial scale. Little Bustard abundance at each observation point significantly increased with local nesting but not foraging habitat suitability, and decreased with increasing proportion of urban areas. At larger spatial scales, temporal changes in Little Bustard abundance were highly significantly related to changes in foraging habitat suitability. Moreover, the positive relationship between foraging habitat suitability and Little Bustard abundance weakened as the proportion of urban areas increased, and almost disappeared when the proportion of urban areas was more than 5%.

. Recent advances in passive acoustic monitoring warrant the review of survey protocols because passive acoustic monitoring can increase sampling effort with minimal additional cost. In particular, protocols for nocturnal species should be re-evaluated because automated processing with signal recognition is expected to perform well for these species and surveys conducted by human observers are often limited by safety concerns. We revisited the best survey practices for the Eastern Whip-poor-will ( Antrostomus vociferus ), a nocturnal species of conservation concern. Whip-poor-will surveys are typically limited to nighttime, but also to times of high lunar illumination because their calling rate is associated with moonlight levels. We used automated recognition to extract Whip-poor-will detections from a dataset of autonomous recording unit (ARU) recordings from sites with known Eastern Whip-poor-will occupancy in Ontario, Canada. Temperature and time relative to sunset had particularly strong quadratic effects on detectability, with detectability maximized at 13 °C and 4 hours after sunset. Moon altitude and day of year had positive effects on detectability, while wind speed had negative effects on detectability. We found constraining surveys by optimal values of those detectability covariates was worthwhile only up until 10 recordings, at which point the cumulative probability of detecting an Eastern Whip-poor-will at each site was equal between constrained and unconstrained nocturnal recordings. The number of recordings required to reach an asymptote for detectability was between 81 and 97, depending on recording length. We provide objective-specific recommendations for Eastern Whip-poor-will surveys and suggest unconstrained passive acoustic monitoring as the preferred survey method for many objectives. Given the rise of passive acoustic monitoring, survey practices for many species should be revisited because the increases in sampling effort provided by ARUs can improve cumulative detection probability and potentially outweigh the advantages of limiting surveys to times and dates of optimal detectability. sur la détectabilité, la détectabilité maximale se situant à 13 °C et à 4 heures après le coucher du soleil. L'altitude de la lune et le jour de l'année ont eu des effets positifs sur la détectabilité, tandis que la vitesse du vent a eu des effets négatifs sur celle-ci. Nous avons constaté que le fait de restreindre les relevés aux valeurs optimales de ces covariables de détectabilité ne valait la peine que jusqu'à 10 enregistrements, après quoi la probabilité cumulée de détecter un engoulevent à chaque site était égale entre les enregistrements nocturnes restreints ou non restreints.

. 被动声监测的最新进展有必要对调查方案进行审查,因为被动声监测可以以最小的额外费用增加采样工作。特别是,夜间活动物种的方案应该重新评估,因为具有信号识别的自动化处理有望在这些物种中表现良好,而由人类观察员进行的调查往往受到安全问题的限制。我们重新审视了对夜间活动的保护物种——东斑羚(Antrostomus vociferus)的最佳调查实践。鞭笞-意志调查通常仅限于夜间,但也适用于月亮光照高的时候,因为它们的呼叫率与月光水平有关。我们使用自动识别技术从自动记录单元(ARU)记录的数据集中提取鞭子-贫穷-意志检测,这些数据集来自加拿大安大略省已知的东部鞭子-贫穷-意志占用地点。相对于日落的温度和时间对可探测性有特别强的二次效应,在13°C和日落后4小时可探测性最大。月高和日对可探测性有正向影响,风速对可探测性有负向影响。我们发现,通过这些可检测性协变量的最优值进行的限制性调查只有在10次记录之前是值得的,在这一点上,在每个地点检测到东部鞭子-穷意志的累积概率在有约束和无约束的夜间记录之间是相等的。根据记录长度的不同,达到可检测的渐近线所需的记录数量在81到97之间。我们为东部地区的鞭子-穷人调查提供了具体的建议,并建议无约束被动声学监测作为许多目标的首选调查方法。鉴于被动声学监测的兴起,许多物种的调查实践应该重新审视,因为ARUs提供的采样努力的增加可以提高累积探测概率,并且可能超过将调查限制在最佳可探测时间和日期的优势。3 .在 13°C和 14°C之间,所有的 15°C和14°C之间,所有的 13°C和14°C之间,所有的 13°C和14°C之间。“月亮的高度”和“空气的高度”与“空气的高度”和“空气的高度”、“空气的高度”和“空气的高度”、“空气的高度”和“空气的高度”、“空气的高度”和“空气的高度”、“空气的高度”和“空气的高度”、“空气的高度”和“空气的高度”。Nous avons constatest que le fait de resresindres .相关的samas和value .优化的samas和value . co变量samas和value . co变量samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas和value . co变数samas。登记部要求所有人参加第81和97号登记部的登记部会议。建议:不采用任何限制,不采用任何限制;不采用任何限制,不采用任何限制;不采用任何限制,不采用任何限制;不采用任何限制,不采用任何限制。Étant donnere ' s essor des sustiques passies, les pratiques d'inventaire de nombreuses esp ddevraient être 与其他所有人的交换,car 'augmentation, l'effort, d'inventaire pour de nombreuses espere devraies, l'augmentation, l'effort, d'inventaire pour de nombreuses前程,a 'augmentation, l' amsamlier,概率,i ' amsamlier,累积,e ' porter potentielement, sur les advantage,限制性,l' inventaire aux heures,日期,de de samtecable, itaoptimale。

. Collisions with anthropogenic structures by long-distance migrants and threatened and endangered species are a growing global conservation concern. Increasing the visibility of these structures may reduce collisions but may only be accepted by local residents if it does not create a visual disturbance. Recent research has shown the potential for ultraviolet (UV) light, which is nearly imperceptible to humans, to mitigate avian collisions with anthropogenic structures. We tested the effectiveness of two UV (390–400 nm) Avian Collision Avoidance Systems (ACASs) at reducing collisions at two 260-m spans of marked power lines at the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary, an important migratory bird stopover location in Nebraska. We used a randomized design and a tiered model selection approach employing generalized linear models and the Akaike Information Criterion to assess the effectiveness of ACASs considering environmental (e.g., precipitation) and detection probability (e.g., migration chronology) variables. We found focal (assessed power line) and distal (neighboring power line) ACAS status and environmental variables were important predictors of avian collisions. Our top model suggests that the focal ACAS illumination reduced collisions by 88%, collisions were more likely at moderate (10–16 km/h) compared to lower or higher wind speeds, and collision frequency decreased with precipitation occurrence. Our top model also indicates that the distal ACAS illumination reduced collisions by 39.4% at the focal power line when that ACAS was off, suggesting a positive “neighbor effect” of power line illumination. Although future applications of ACASs would benefit from additional study to check for potential negative effects (for example, collisions involving nocturnal foragers such as bats or caprimulgiform birds drawn to insects), we suggest that illuminating power lines, guy wires, towers, wind turbines, and other anthropogenic structures with UV illumination will likely lower collision risks for birds while increasing human acceptance of mitigation measures in urban areas. approche de sélection de modèle à plusieurs niveaux employant des modèles linéaires généralisés et le critère d'information Akaike pour évaluer l’efficacité des ACAS en tenant compte des variables environnementales (par ex. précipitations) et de probabilité de détection (par ex. chronologie des migrations).
