Farmland birds belong to the most endangered group of vertebrates in Europe. They are an
important component of farmland biodiversity considering the numerous functions they …

Aim We investigated taxonomic and functional beta diversity of bird communities inhabiting
Mediterranean olive groves subject to either intensive or low‐intensity management of the …

Agricultural intensification resulted in substantial loss of farmland biodiversity. Semi-natural
habitats may be viewed as potential buffers of these adverse impacts, but a rigorous …

Agricultural landscapes have changed fast in Europe, which has led to steep declines in
farmland biodiversity. While this has differentially impacted “farmland species”, some of …

The pressure of predators may significantly affects the distribution pattern of nesting birds.
Some individuals may reduce the risk of predation by nesting near other species with an …

Nest predation is one of the most important factors limiting reproductive success, and
antipredator behaviour can significantly reduce the loss of avian broods. I carried out field …

The composition and quality of food provided to nestling birds influence their growth and
development and offers key insight into the ecological requirements of birds. One bird …

Understanding the mechanisms and the factors influencing the phenology, reproduction and
biometrics of long-distance migrants are extremely important as global climate warming has …

Capsule Structural heterogeneity was the most important factor influencing the distribution of
Barred Warbler Sylvia nisoria, Common Whitethroat S. communis and Lesser Whitethroat S …

Understanding habitat selection patterns in congeneric species has raised special interest
due to its importance when designing conservation strategies for the species. We analysed …
