A Resume of Anting, with Particular Reference to A
A RESUMI? OF ANTING, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO A CAPTIVE ORCHARD ORIOLE BY LOVIE M. WHITAKER INCE Audubon (1831:7) wrote of Wild Turkeys (Meleugris gallopuvo) S rolling in “deserted” ants ’ nests (Allen, 1946)) and Gosse (1847:225) reported Tinkling Grackles (Q uiscalus niger) in nature anointing themselves with lime fruits (Chisholm, 1944), an extensive literature on the anting ac- tivities of birds has slowly evolved. The complete bibliography of anting probably would approximate 250 items, yet the purpose of the behavior re- mains unexplained. Anting may be defined as the application of foreign substances to the plum- age and possibly to the skin. These substances may be applied with the bill, or the bird may “bathe” or posture among thronging ants which invest its plumage. Among numerous explanations for the use of ants are these: (1) the bird wipes off ant acid, preparatory to eating the ant; (2) ants prey upon, and their acids repel, ectoparasites; (3) ant acids have tonic or medicinal effects on the skin of birds; (4) odor of ants attracts birds, much as dogs are drawn to ordure or cats to catnip; (5) an t s intoxicate the bird or give it unique pleasurable effects; (6) ant substances on the plumage, irradiated by sun- light, produce vitamin D, which the bird ingests during preening; (7) the bird enjoys the movement of insects in its plumage; (8) ant substances pre- vent over-drying of feather oils or give a proper surface film condition to the feathers. For discussions of these possibilities, see Chisholm (1944, 1948: 163-175)) Adlersparre (1936)) IJ zen d oorn (1952~)) Eichler (1936~)) Klein- Schmidt (in Stresemann, 1935b), L ane (1951:163-177)) Kelso (1946, 1949, 1950a, 19506, 1955 :37-39)) Brackbill (1948)) G6roudet (1948), Groskin (1950)) and McAtee (1938). -
Population Ecology and Biology of the Invasive Stink Bug Halyomorpha Halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in New Jersey and Pennsylva

Hamilton Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an Asian species that has become widely distributed in the Mid-Atlantic States since its confirmed introduction in 1996. Initially, there was confusion regarding the proper identification of H. halys leading to a 5 year period where H. halys populations went unchecked, until its correct identification by E. R. Hoebeke in 2001. One concern with invasive species is that population densities can be higher in the introduced environment due, in part, to release from natural enemies or lack of host plant resistance. In its native distribution, H. halys has a wide host range and is considered a pest of agricultural crops. Life-history surveys and laboratory developmental rate studies revealed that H. halys is univoltine in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, requiring 538DD to complete development. Females emerging from diapause require an additional 148DD prior to oviposition, during which time, they utilize apple and pear trees. Surveys in ornamentals, tree fruit, and soybean demonstrate that H. -
Notable Bird Records from Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan Island, China
FORKTAIL 21 (2005): 33–41 Notable bird records from Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan Island, China CHAN BOSCO PUI LOK, LEE KWOK SHING, ZHANG JIAN-FENG and SU WEN-BA Bird surveys, include the use of camera traps, were conducted in Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan province, China, during 1998–2005. A total of 143 species were recorded in the reserve and its immediate environs, including three new records for the island (Slaty-backed Forktail Enicurus schistaceus,Yellow-cheeked Tit Parus spilonotus and Mountain Tailorbird Orthotomus cucula- tus), two threatened species (Hainan Partridge Arborophila ardens and Hainan Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus hainanus) and two Near Threatened species (Japanese Paradise-flycatcher Terpsiphone atrocaudata and Yellow-billed Nuthatch Sitta solangiae). Other notable records included the endemic Hainan Peacock Pheasant Polyplectron katsumatae and a number of endemic races (e.g. Silver Pheasant Lophura nycthemera whiteheadi, Black-browed Barbet Megalaima oorti faber, Indochinese Green Magpie Cissa hypoleuca katsumatae and Orange-headed Thrush Zoothera citrina aurimacula), some of which were photographed, apparently for the first time.

Picus Viridis
Report under the Article 12 of the Birds Directive European Environment Agency Period 2008-2012 European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Picus viridis Annex I No International action plan No Picus viridis has a breeding population size of 760000-1370000 pairs and a breeding range size of 2220000 square kilometres in the EU27. The breeding population trend in the EU27 is Stable in the short term and Stable in the long term. Picus viridis is considered to comprise of two distinct species, P. viridis and P. sharpei, according to the current BirdLife International taxonomy. Therefore, the EU population status was assessed at the level of P. viridis and P. sharpei. Eurasian Green Woodpecker, Picus viridis, is a species of woodpecker found in grassland and woodland and forest ecosystems. Picus viridis has a breeding population size of 514000-900000 pairs in the EU27. The breeding population trend in the EU27 is Increasing in the short term and Increasing in the long term. The EU population status of Picus viridis was assessed as Secure, because the species does not meet any of the IUCN Red List criteria for threatened or Near Threatened, or the criteria for Depleted or Declining (the EU27 population or range has not declined by 20% or more since 1980). Iberian Green Woodpecker, Picus sharpei, is a species of woodpecker found in grassland and woodland and forest ecosystems. Picus sharpei has a breeding population size of 246000- 471000 pairs in the EU27. The breeding population trend in the EU27 is Decreasing in the short term and Decreasing in the long term. -

Attributes of Eurasian Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis) nest cavities in Hungary. – Ornis Hungarica 28(2): 204–211. DOI: 10.2478/orhu-2020-0025 Abstract Thirty-three nest cavities of Green Woodpeckers (Picus viridis) in Hungary were documented over a period of 15 years (2006–2020). Thirteen different tree species were used. All documented cavities were in the main trunks of trees. The mean cavity height was 5.6 m and 1.5 m standard deviation and ranged from 2 to 9 m. Tree trunk diameters ranged between 36–55 cm with a mean of 43.1 cm and 4.2 cm standard deviation. A south- erly orientation of cavity entrances prevailed with a mean direction of 187° clockwise from north. The results suggest that cavity-entrance orientation was non-random.

Headed Woodpecker Picus Canus As Influenced by the Avail- Ability of Food
Ornis Fennica 72:1-13. 1995 Seasonal patterns in home range and habitat use of the Grey- headed Woodpecker Picus canus as influenced by the avail- ability of food Jørund Rolstad & Erlend Rolstad Rolstad, J., Norwegian Forest Research Institute, HØyskoleveien 12, N-1430 Ås, Norway Rolstad, E., Norwegian Forest Research Institute, HØyskoleveien 12, N-1430 Ås, Norway Received 1 June 1994, accepted 7 February 1995 Seasonal patterns in diet, home range and habitat use of the Grey-headed Woodpecker Picus canus were recorded at the Varaldskogen study area, a managed boreal forest located on the Swedish-Norwegian border in southcentral Scandinavia. One success- fully breeding pair was radio-monitored throughout a year. Additional telemetry data were collected in summer from a male in a pair that failed breeding. In summer the birds almost exclusively preyed upon ant colonies in soil and rotten stumps located in young conifer plantations. In winter, when snow or frost prohibited ground feeding, birds were feeding on bark-dwelling insects in old pine and dead trees . The winter shift in diet and feeding behavior was accompanied by an approximately 100 times en- largement in home range size, increasing from 50-100 ha (n = 3) in summer to 4 500- 5 400 ha (n = 2) in winter. With reservations due to small sample size, our data suggests that availability of winter food is critical to the Grey-headed Woodpecker when snow or frozen ground prevents ground-feeding for soil-dwelling ants. 1 . Introduction reasons for its rarity, by and large, remain un- known. The Grey-headed Woodpecker Picus canus is As most of the species in the Picus genus, the widely distributed throughout temperate decidu- Grey-headed Woodpecker mainly relies on ants ous and conifer forests of the Palearctic faunal as staple food. -
The Various Means by Which Nature Prevents an Excessiveincrease Of
111.-THE PREDACEOUS ENEMIES OF ASTS BY J. BEQUAERT The various means by which Nature prevents an excessiveincrease of the species not only forms in itself an interesting chapter of ecology, but its study is also of great importance in an understanding of the true meaning of Natural Selection. In the case of ants it has been contended that they are better defended than other insects against the attacks of predatory animals. Poulton‘ evidently takes this for granted when he considers that ants, together with wasps, are among the favorite models for “mimicking” insects and other arthropods. These ant-like arthro- pods, having acquired by Natural Selection their resemblance “to the aggressive, abundant, and well-defended ants,” would according to this theory escape many of the attacks of their deceived and disgusted predaceous enemies. Though the evidence presented in the following pages is still very fragmentary, I trust the readsr may easily conclude for himself to what extent such resemblances, which, in some casesat least, can hardly be doubted, have a real protective value. There is certainly little or no evidence to show that, as the theory is often expressed, ants are unpalatable to most insectivorous animals and are merely eaten accidentally or “during the time in which young birds or other animals are learning what to eat with impunity and what to reject.’’2 Another consideration of interest is the relative efficacy of parasitism and predatism in acting as a check on the reproductive power of the species. This point has been profusely discussed, and the argument has frequently been made that parasitism is in this respect of foremost importance.
