Philadelphia Vireo (Vireo philadelphicus) Science Article 1 abstract The Philadelphia Vireo (Vireo philadelphicus) is an uncommon, forest-dwelling, neotropical migrantrestricted in British Columbia to the Boreal Plains and Taiga Plains ecoprovinces. It is a habitatgeneralist, but its distribution is linked with the distribution of deciduous-dominated forests. Relativelyfew data exist on populations, habitat use, or breeding productivity. […]

Effects of spring supplementary feeding on population density and breeding success of released pheasants Phasianus colchicus in Britain
Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) Science Article 1 abstract The release of hand-reared ring-necked pheasants Phasianus colchicus in summer is a common practice in Britain to increase the number of birds available to hunters in winter. The breeding success of the birds which survive the shooting season is poor. Traditionally, birds are provided with supplementary wheat grain […]

The influence of nest size on heat loss of Penduline Tit eggs
Penduline-Tit (Remiz pendulinus) Science Article 2 abstract The size and quality of nest influence mate choice and parental behaviour in several birds. Previousworks in Penduline Tits showed that females prefer to mate with males that build largenests, and females desert small nests whereas they incubate eggs in large nests. We testedwhether female preference may be […]

Egg burial in penduline tits, Remiz pendulinusr.its role in mate desertion and femalepolyandry
Penduline-Tit (Remiz pendulinus) Science Article 1 abstract One important component in the mating strategy of an already-mated individual is the decision to remain with the partner and care for the offspring or to desert. Almost all research on nest desertion has focused on the costs and benefits of continued parental care versus desertion of both […]
