A multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation of the effects of foraging on landfills on white stork nestlings

J Pineda-Pampliega, Y Ramiro… - Science of the Total …, 2021 - Elsevier
The use of landfills as foraging areas by white storks (Ciconia ciconia) is a recent well-

Nest size, nest building behaviour and breeding success in a species with nest reuse: the white stork Ciconia ciconia

P Vergara, O Gordo, JI Aguirre - Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2010 - BioOne
