Influence of environmental factors and energetic value of food on Little Tern Sterna albifrons chick growth and food delivery: Capsule Chick diet and early growth parameters differed between birds breeding on natural (sandy beaches) and alternative (salinas) habitats. pp. 1-11(11) Authors: Paiva, Vítor H.; Ramos, Jaime A.; Catry, Teresa; Pedro, Patrícia; Medeiros, Renata; Palma, Jorge
Habitat structure in Mediterranean deciduous oak forests in relation to reproductive success in the Blue Tit Parus caeruleus: Capsule Effects operate during laying and incubation and with less success in breeding territories characterized by a young and immature vegetation structure. pp. 12-19(8) Authors: Arriero, Elena; Sanz, Juan José; Romero‐Pujante, Mariló
Effects of feeding patterns on body mass loss in moulting Greylag Geese Anser anser: Capsule Body mass loss was mainly affected by daily travel distance between roost site and feeding patches. pp. 20-31(12) Author: Kahlert, Johnny
Estimating the use of tidal flats by waders: inaccuracies due to the response of birds to the tidal cycle: Capsule Low tide counts may give inaccurate estimates of habitat use; combining low and mid‐tide counts yields better estimates. pp. 32-38(7) Authors: Dias, Maria P.; Granadeiro, José P.; Martins, Ricardo C.; Palmeirim, Jorge M.
Factors influencing the small‐scale distribution of House Sparrows Passer domesticus in a suburban environment: Capsule Suburban House Sparrows prefer gardens with native bushes but show no detectable response to garden insecticide use. pp. 39-46(8) Author: Wilkinson, Nicholas
Summer utilization of Oilseed Rape by Reed Buntings Emberiza schoeniclus and other farmland birds: Capsule Oilseed Rape was the preferred breeding season habitat for Reed Buntings on arable farmland and reduced this species' dependence on wet features. pp. 47-54(8) Authors: Gruar, Derek; Barritt, Dave; Peach, Will J.
Status of breeding Twite Carduelis flavirostris in the UK: Capsule The first comprehensive estimate of breeding Twite in the UK indicates that there were approximately 10 000 pairs in 1999. pp. 55-63(9) Authors: Langston, Rowena H.W.; Smith, Trevor; Brown, Andrew F.; Gregory, Richard D.
Factors affecting breeding distribution of Storm‐petrels Hydrobates pelagicus in Orkney and Shetland: Capsule The main factors are past and present human activities, especially the introduction of rats to islands. pp. 64-72(9) Authors: de León, Ana; Mínguez, Eduardo; Harvey, Paul; Meek, Eric; Crane, Jonathon E.; Furness, Robert W.
Diet composition influences annual breeding success of Montagu's Harriers Circus pygargus feeding on diverse prey: Capsule Diet diversity was positively related to nest failure in Montagu's Harriers. pp. 73-78(6) Authors: Arroyo, Beatriz E.; Garcia, Jesús T.
Survival of Gannets Morus bassanus in Britain and Ireland, 1959–2002: Capsule The mean annual survival of adult Gannets was 92% and about 30% of young survived to an age of four years. pp. 79-85(7) Authors: Wanless, Sarah; Frederiksen, Morten; Harris, Michael P.; Freeman, Stephen N.
Feeding ecology of migrating waders (Charadrii) at sodic‐alkaline pans in the Carpathian Basin: Capsule Waders fed on the most abundant invertebrates: visual foragers preferred nektonic bugs, while tactile foragers had more diverse food preferences. pp. 86-91(6) Authors: Boros, Emil; Andrikovics, Sándor; Kiss, Béla; Forró, László
Observer variation in estimates of Meadow Pipit Anthus pratensis and Skylark Alauda arvensis abundance on moorland: Capsule Counts least susceptible to observer effects were those within 25 m of a transect and the total number along a transect, with observer effects greater for distance sampling. pp. 92-95(4) Authors: Buchanan, Graeme M.; Pearce-Higgins, James W.; Grant, Murray C.
