Top predators may adapt their diets to changes in prey availability where human-induced environmental changes are intense. This long-term study of the breeding-season diet of Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) in the Strandzha Mountains analyzed shifts in diet caused by the population decline in principal prey species, the tortoises (Testudo hermanni and T. graeca). Tortoises comprised 50.0% of the eagle diet by prey number in the 1990s, but that share collapsed to 5.8% in 2014–2021. During this later interval, Golden Eagles preyed more intensively on lighter-weight prey such as Northern White-breasted Hedgehog (Erinaceus roumanicus, an increrase of 28.2% by number) and Edible Dormouse (Glis glis, an increase of 14.9% by number). Hedgehogs predominated in the diet of an individual eagle nest site for the first time in 1998 and became the principal prey in 2014–2021. Differences in food niche breadth and proportions of mesopredators between tortoise- and hedgehog-dominated individual annual diets were not significant, corresponding to a low level of food stress. The only eagle with an annual diet dominated by Squamata (snakes and lizards) was an exception, having the widest food niche. Young domestic ungulates have almost completely disappeared from eagle diets at the same as the reduction of tortoises, corresponding to a concurrent decline of livestock farming. The results obtained here have relevance to conservation management of both predator and prey populations.
在人类引起的环境剧烈变化的地方,顶级捕食者可能会调整自己的饮食以适应猎物数量的变化。这项对斯特兰扎山脉金鹰(Aquila chrysaetos)繁殖季节饮食的长期研究分析了主要猎物物种龟(Testudo hermanni和T. graeca)数量下降导致的饮食变化。在20世纪90年代,乌龟占鹰饮食的50.0%,但在2014-2021年,这一比例下降到5.8%。在这一后期,金雕更集中地捕食较轻的猎物,如北方白胸刺猬(Erinaceus roumanicus,数量增加了28.2%)和食用睡鼠(Glis Glis,数量增加了14.9%)。1998年,刺猬首次在单个鹰巢的饮食中占主导地位,并在2014-2021年成为主要猎物。以龟和刺猬为主导的个体年食性在食物生态位宽度和中捕食者比例上的差异不显著,对应于低水平的食物应激。唯一一种以鳞目动物(蛇和蜥蜴)为主要食物的鹰是个例外,它有最广泛的食物生态位。幼小的家养有蹄类动物几乎完全从鹰的饮食中消失了,与此同时,陆龟的数量也在减少,这与畜牧业的同时减少相对应。本研究结果对捕食者和猎物种群的保护管理具有重要意义。

Many vocalisations of songbirds are sexually selected and socially learnt behavioural traits that are subject to cultural evolution. For cultural inheritance, it is required that individuals imitate the song elements and build them into their repertoire, but little is known about how such learning mechanisms take place in natural populations of birds with large repertoire size. Using a Hungarian population of the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) as a model, we tested how often adult males can build new song elements (artificially modified or originated from distant populations) into their repertoire during mating season by using a playback approach. We predicted that when individuals incorporate new elements into their repertoire, the formerly unfamiliar elements from the playback songs would be recovered in the recorded songs of the focal males. We performed a teaching procedure with 26 males, in which we played back song sequences containing three artificially modified and three foreign syllables for each male. We recorded the song of the focal males twice a day for 2–6 days long. Then, we applied a thorough search based on a combined automatic and manual identification method to detect the tutorial syllables in the recorded songs. We found one foreign syllable type in the recordings from one male which indicates that male collared flycatchers may learn new syllable types in the courtship season. As our study has some limits, we highlight some general challenges concerning the use of playback approaches in the field for demonstrating the incidences of learning of particular song elements.
鸣禽的许多鸣叫都是性选择和社会学习的行为特征,受文化进化的影响。为了文化传承,个体需要模仿鸣声元素并将其构建到自己的曲目中,但对于这种学习机制如何发生在拥有大量曲目的自然种群中,我们知之甚少。我们以匈牙利的领蝇(Ficedula albicollis)种群为模型,测试了成年雄性在交配季节通过回放方法在其曲目中建立新歌元素(人工修改或来自遥远种群)的频率。我们预测,当个体在它们的曲目中加入新的元素时,以前不熟悉的元素会在焦点雄的歌曲中恢复。我们对26名男性进行了教学过程,其中我们为每位男性播放了包含三个人工修改和三个外国音节的歌曲序列。我们每天两次记录焦点雄性的鸣声,持续2-6天。然后,我们采用基于自动和人工相结合的识别方法进行彻底搜索,以检测录制歌曲中的教程音节。我们在一只雄领鹟的录音中发现了一种外来音节类型,这表明雄领鹟可能在求偶季节学习新的音节类型。由于我们的研究有一些局限性,我们强调了一些关于在该领域使用回放方法来展示特定歌曲元素学习的发生率的一般挑战。

Human development around the globe has led to great expansion of the Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus), which has implications for local wildlife and especially ground-breeding birds. In this study, we analyse the colonisation and persistence of rats on small islets important to breeding waterbirds in a Danish fjord, and investigate the effect of rat presence on the number of breeding pairs of eight waterbird species. The islets had an annual rat colonisation probability of 6% and an annual rat population persistence rate of 65% (equalling an annual population survival rate of 62% when adjusting for re-colonisations upon extinctions). Contrary to our hypotheses, rat colonisation and persistence was uncorrelated with islet size, distance from the mainland and the presence of shrub cover. Rat presence had a significant negative effect on the number of breeding pairs of four waterbird species, including Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta, reduced to 30% compared to years without rats), Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus, reduced to 45%) and Common Tern (Sterna hirundo, reduced to 52%). The smaller bird species in particular seemed to be affected by the presence of rats, and control efforts aimed at reducing rat presence on important breeding bird islets may consequently have a positive effect on the occurrence and breeding success of these species. We found no evidence of birds acting on a memory of where rats had been present in the previous year, and further research is needed to investigate the precise mechanisms behind the recorded negative effects in the contemporary year, i.e. how do prospecting as well as settled breeders detect and behaviourally respond to the presence of rats.
全球范围内的人类发展导致褐家鼠(Rattus norvegicus)的大量繁殖,这对当地野生动物,尤其是地面繁殖鸟类产生了影响。在这项研究中,我们分析了大鼠在丹麦峡湾中对水鸟繁殖很重要的小岛上的定居和持久性,并研究了大鼠的存在对八种水鸟繁殖配对数量的影响。这些小岛的年大鼠定植概率为6%,年大鼠种群持续率为65%(在对物种灭绝后的再定植进行调整时,相当于62%的年种群存活率)。与我们的假设相反,大鼠的定居和持久性与胰岛大小、与大陆的距离和灌木覆盖的存在无关。大鼠的存在对四种水鸟的繁殖配对数量产生了显著的负面影响,包括Avocet(与没有大鼠的年份相比,Avocett的繁殖配对减少到30%)、Black head Gull(Chroicocephalus ridibundus,减少到45%)和Common Tern(Sterna hirundo,减少到52%)。较小的鸟类似乎尤其受到老鼠的影响,因此,旨在减少老鼠在重要繁殖鸟类小岛上的存在的控制措施可能会对这些物种的发生和繁殖成功产生积极影响。我们没有发现任何证据表明鸟类对前一年老鼠出现的位置有记忆,需要进一步的研究来调查当代记录的负面影响背后的确切机制,即探矿者和定居饲养者如何检测老鼠的存在并对其做出行为反应。

Night-brooding behaviour in provisioning cavity-nesting birds is a trade-off between adult predation risk and nestling thermoregulation needs 供应洞穴筑巢鸟类的夜间沉思行为是成年捕食风险和筑巢体温调节需求之间的权衡

Night-brooding of nestlings in cavity-nesting avian species carries predation risks to parents. Anecdotally, several species are known to shift from constant adult night-brooding behaviour to leaving nestlings unattended at night during offspring development but the timing, speed of change and sex-specific differences between parents, and the factors shaping this behaviour have rarely been described. Moreover, the location and nature of night roosts used by adults whilst provisioning nestlings has received little research attention. We studied breeding Common Starlings Sturnus vulgaris and hypothesised that, in such a cavity-nesting species, 1) nestlings would only be night-brooded until they achieved thermal independence, 2) since the species is frequently polygynous, female parents would most likely exclusively night-brood offspring despite provisioning by both sexes and 3) night-brooding would be more likely during nights with lowest temperatures. Nightly video recordings throughout the nestling phase at eight Starling nests together with data from 18 Starlings fitted with GPS-loggers during 26 nights provided support for hypotheses 1) and 2), while we found no support for hypothesis 3). All tagged male Starlings always roosted far from the nesting site (up to 8 km) independent of nestling age; all females brooded nestlings, usually up to the first seven-nine days after hatching (when the nestlings achieve thermoregulation), but roosted with males after day 10, when all tagged Starlings from the same nesting ‘colony’ roosted together. These results confirm differential sex-related parental effort in provisioning Starlings, suggesting females only night-brood until young achieve homeothermy.
在洞穴筑巢的鸟类中,雏鸟的夜间孵化会给父母带来捕食的风险。有趣的是,已知一些物种在后代发育过程中从持续的成虫夜间孵蛋行为转变为夜间无人照看雏鸟,但变化的时间、速度、父母之间的性别差异以及形成这种行为的因素很少被描述。此外,成虫在饲养雏鸟时使用的夜间栖息地的位置和性质很少受到研究的关注。我们研究了普通椋鸟Sturnus vulgaris的繁殖,并假设,在这样一个洞穴筑巢的物种中,1)雏鸟只在夜间孵化,直到它们达到热独立;2)由于该物种通常是一夫多妻制的,尽管两性都提供食物,但雌性父母很可能只在夜间孵化后代;3)夜间孵化更可能在温度最低的夜晚进行。在8个燕鸥巢的夜间视频记录以及18只燕鸥在26个夜晚的gps记录仪的数据支持了假设1)和2),而我们没有发现假设3)的支持。所有标记的雄性燕鸥总是远离筑巢地点(高达8公里),与雏鸟年龄无关;通常在孵化后的前7 - 9天(当雏鸟达到体温调节时),所有的雌性都在孵雏鸟,但在第10天之后,所有来自同一筑巢“群体”的标记椋鸟都在一起栖息。这些结果证实了与性别相关的父母在供养欧椋鸟方面的不同努力,表明雌性只在夜间产卵,直到幼鸟达到同源性。

The intention of the study was to determine whether male Black-throated Divers (Gavia arctica) can be distinguished individually by their vocalization. The songs of 19 male Black-throated Divers (BTDs) were recorded in their territories in the same lake area in 2018–2021 in Finland. The songs were recorded in one year in nine territories and in 2–4 consecutive years in ten territories. The song consists of one introductory phrase and one or more repeat phrases. Seventeen variables were measured from the spectrograms of the introductory phrase and the first repeat phrase. These variables included the frequencies and duration of different parts of the spectrogram. The discriminant analyses were used to examine the recognition of individual BTDs based on the spectral analysis of the male yodels (n = 297) in different territories (n = 19). The discriminant analysis showed that when using 14 of the variables of the yodels, the discriminant analysis classified the yodels to correct territories at a rate of almost 98% based on the cross-validation of all data. This suggests that the same individuals defend their territory from year to year.
这项研究的目的是确定雄性黑喉潜水者(Gavia arctica)是否可以通过他们的发声来区分个体。2018年至2021年,在芬兰同一湖泊区域的19只雄性黑喉潜水员(BTDs)的领地上录制了歌曲。这些歌曲是在9个地区一年内录制的,在10个地区连续2-4年录制的。这首歌由一个引言乐句和一个或多个重复乐句组成。从介绍短语和第一个重复短语的谱图中测量了17个变量。这些变量包括频谱图不同部分的频率和持续时间。通过对不同地区(n = 19) 297只雄性约德尔雀的光谱分析,采用判别分析的方法对不同地区(n = 19)的btd个体进行识别。判别分析表明,当使用约德尔的14个变量时,基于所有数据的交叉验证,判别分析以接近98%的率对约德尔进行了正确的区域分类。这表明同样的个体年复一年地保卫自己的领地。

Reproductive success of threatened northern Lesser Black Backed Gulls (Larus fuscus fuscus) in relation to nest predation by Ravens (Corvus corax) 受威胁的北方小黑背海鸥(Larus fuscus fuscus)的繁殖成功与乌鸦(Corvus corax)的巢穴捕食有关

Many seabird populations suffer heavily from the destruction of nests by generalist predators. In this study, we analyzed 16 years of data (2005–2020) on the reproductive output of the northern Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus fuscus) at Horsvær, the largest assemblage of this subspecies in Norway (up to ca. 400 pairs), in relation to the occurrence of breeding Ravens (Corvus corax). A pair of Ravens were firstly discovered at Horsvær in 2010, and between 2011 and 2016 they were observed with broods (2–5 fledglings) in most years. Between 2017 and 2020, human intervention prevented the Ravens from breeding in the colony. However, in 2020 a pair of Ravens brought their fledglings over from a neighboring island in the middle of the incubation period for the gulls. On average, the nest predation rate was 43% when Ravens had fledglings within the study area. In contrast, only 10% of nests were depredated in years when Ravens did not reproduce successfully or were absent. Moreover, only 0.07 fledglings were on average produced per nest in years when Ravens bred successfully, compared to 0.71 fledglings per nest in years with no Raven reproduction. A high level of nest predation led to a decline in the number of nesting gulls, which was not observed in a neighboring Raven-free colony. Finally, in years with high Raven predation at Horsvær, production of fledglings was still high in yet another nearby Lesser Black-backed Gull colony. The Ravens were established at Horsvær in the absence of people in the spring, and the only option to save these threatened gulls may be to prevent the Ravens from nesting successfully in or near their colonies.
许多海鸟种群都遭受着多面手捕食者对巢穴的破坏。在这项研究中,我们分析了16年来(2005-2020年)关于挪威最大的黑背鸥种群Horsvær的北部小黑背鸥(Larus fuscus fuscus)繁殖产量的数据,这些数据与繁殖乌鸦(Corvus corax)的发生有关。2010年,在Horsvær首次发现了一对乌鸦,在2011年至2016年间,大多数年份都观察到它们与幼崽(2-5只雏鸟)在一起。2017年至2020年间,人类干预阻止了乌鸦在该群落繁殖。然而,在2020年,一对乌鸦在海鸥的孵化期中期从邻近的岛屿带着它们的雏鸟过来。平均而言,当乌鸦在研究区域内有雏鸟时,巢穴捕食率为43%。相比之下,在乌鸦繁殖不成功或缺席的年份,只有10%的巢穴被掠夺。此外,在乌鸦繁殖成功的年份,平均每个巢穴只产0.07只雏鸟,而在没有乌鸦繁殖的年份,每个巢穴产0.71只雏鸟。高水平的巢穴捕食导致筑巢海鸥的数量下降,而在邻近的无乌鸦群落中没有观察到这种情况。最后,在Horsvær乌鸦捕食率很高的几年里,附近另一个小黑背海鸥群落的雏鸟产量仍然很高。渡鸦是在春天无人的情况下在Horsvær建立的,拯救这些受到威胁的海鸥的唯一选择可能是阻止渡鸦在其栖息地或附近成功筑巢。

Finally, in years with high Raven predation at Horsvær, production of fledglings was still high in yet another nearby Lesser Black-backed Gull colony. The Ravens were established at Horsvær in the absence of people in the spring, and the only option to save these threatened gulls may be to prevent the Ravens from nesting successfully in or near their colonies.","PeriodicalId":49718,"journal":{"name":"Ornis Fennica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41976423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different elements of weather, such as wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and temperature are very important regulators of bird migration. Weather conditions also play role on the body condition such as body mass and the deposited fat. In this study we selected four warbler species to examine the impact of different weather variables on their spring and autumn migration timing and their body condition in one of the most extreme weather areas of the Earth, at Lake Baikal in Siberia. We also studied the changes in body mass and fat reserves during the spring and autumn migration periods of these species. For the analyses, we used ringing data of 2471 birds from five spring and five autumn seasons during 2015–2019. According to our results, it can be stated that the weather did not have a significant association with the migration timing of the studied warblers, perhaps due to the geographical location of the study site. However, the body mass and the fat reserves of the birds increased during unsuitable weather conditions because of the increased energy requirements. Birds generally migrate with low fat reserves, which is due to the fact that this area is not an important stopover site for these species.
不同的天气因素,如风速、风向、降水和温度,都是鸟类迁徙的重要调节因素。天气状况对身体状况也有影响,比如体重和堆积的脂肪。在这项研究中,我们选择了四种莺,在西伯利亚贝加尔湖,研究了不同天气变量对它们春秋迁徙时间和身体状况的影响,这是地球上最极端的气候地区之一。我们还研究了这些物种在春季和秋季迁徙期间的体重和脂肪储备的变化。为了进行分析,我们使用了2015-2019年五个春季和五个秋季的2471只鸟的鸣叫数据。根据我们的研究结果,可以这样说,天气与研究的莺的迁徙时间没有显著的关联,这可能是由于研究地点的地理位置。然而,在不适宜的天气条件下,由于能量需求的增加,鸟类的体重和脂肪储备增加了。鸟类通常以低脂肪储备迁徙,这是因为该地区不是这些物种的重要中途停留地。
