Reed die-back, water level management and the decline of the Great Reed Warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus in The Netherlands.
Great Reed-Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) Science Article 4 abstract Several species of migratory marsh birds have declined in Central and Western Europe. An important question is whether this decline is primarily caused by loss of wetlands on the wintering grounds in Africa or by a decline in habitat quality in the breeding areas. Significant losses of […]
Wing moult of Eastern Olivaceous Warblers Hippolais pallida reiseri at stopover sites at the southern fringe of the Sahara
Eastern Olivaceous Warbler (Iduna pallida) Science Article 1 abstract Recent research on the systematics of the genus Hippolais led to the proposal to split Olivaceous Warbler Hippolais pallida into Western Olivaceous Warbler H opaca and Eastern Olivaceous Warbler H pallida with the subspecies pallida, elaeica, laeneni and reiseri. Here, we present data on postnuptial primary […]

Modelling the winter distributionof the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola
Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) Science Article 7 abstract The conservation of migratory bird species poses special problems associated with their annualmovements which often span continents, because species survival is dependent on the conservationof not only breeding grounds, but also stop-over sites and wintering grounds BRUNO A.

Offspring sex ratio variation in relation to brood sizeand mortality in a promiscuous species: the AquaticWarblerAcrocephalus paludicola
Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) Science Article 15 abstract We analyse nestling sex ratio variation in the Aquatic WarblerAcrocephalus paludicolato testfor predictions from sex allocation theory that the brood sex ratio is close to parity. We alsotested Fiala’s (1980) prediction that there is no difference in sex ratio between broodsaffected and not affected by mortality, and […]

Monitoring Aquatic Warbler Acrocephaluspaludicola in Poland
Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) Science Article 1 abstract As a globally threatened species, the Aquatic Warbler requires a monitoring programme forpopulation trends to be tracked. Such a programme should consider the timing of censuses toachieve precise assessments of the number of the singing males within the limited singing period.We compare results of whole-population counts conducted […]
