Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) Science Article 4 abstract Although detailed investigations of single displays have furnished insights into their proximate causation and adaptive roles in regulating social behavior (Smith 1977, Sebeok 1977), they contribute relatively little to our understanding of the evolution of animal communication at a somewhat higher level.

Ovenbird response to seismic lines
Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) Science Article 9 abstract Rapid development of energy reserves in the boreal forest of western Canada hasraised concerns about the potential impacts of forest fragmentation caused by seismic lines. Seismic lines are narrow linear corridors cut by the energy sector to access remote areas. Traditionally, seismic lines were cut using a bulldozer […]
Population crash of the ortolan bunting Emberiza hortulana in agricultural landscapes of southern Finland
Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana) Science Article 1 abstract The ortolan bunting Emberiza hortulana is a bird species that has shown a particularly dramatic decline during recent decades within the agricultural areas of Europe. We studied the population density changes and environment associations of the ortolan bunting within agricultural landscapes in southern Finland, from territory to […]

Recognition of individuals of Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana using image processing procedures
Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana) Science Article 3 abstract The method of individual recognition of Ortolan bunting Emberiza hortulana songs using simpleimage processing procedures was developed and tested. The method efficiency for the training data set was95% and for independent, testing data set 67%. Besides recognition of individuals, the method enablesselection of song elements, which can […]

Structure and repertoire variation in ortolan bunting (Emberiza hortulana L.) from isolated Norwegian population
Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana) Science Article 2 abstract This paper describes song structure and repertoire variation in ortolan buntings (Emberiza hortulana) from an isolated and declining Norwegian population, analysed by using the minimal unit of production approach. Males from the studied population sang strophes similar to both dialects found in geographically closest populations in Sweden. […]
MAGNETIC ORIENTATION OF MIGRATORY WHEATEARS(OENANTHE OENANTHE) IN SWEDEN AND GREENLAND
Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) Science Article 5 abstract Orientation experiments were performed with wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) subjected to artificially manipulated magnetic fields, in Sweden and Western Greenland, during the autumn migration period. The objective was to compare responses by birds exposed to widely different geomagnetic conditions and, specifically, to clarify if birds are able to […]

Daily stopovers as optimal migration strategy in a long-distance migrating passerine: the Northern Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe.
Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) Science Article 3 abstract Selection for early arrival is expected to shape optimal stopover decisions in migrating birds to minimise time spent on migration. Optimality models predict that fuel loads at departure from stopover sites and stopover duration should depend strongly on search and settling costs as well as on individual […]
