  • Bird Number Dynamics During the Post-Breeding Period at the Tömörd Bird Ringing Station, Western Hungary
    THE RING 39 (2017) 10.1515/ring-2017-0002 BIRD NUMBER DYNAMICS DURING THE POST-BREEDING PERIOD AT THE TÖMÖRD BIRD RINGING STATION, WESTERN HUNGARY József Gyurácz1*, Péter Bánhidi2, József Góczán2, Péter Illés2, Sándor Kalmár2, Péter Koszorús2, Zoltán Lukács1, Csaba Németh2, László Varga2 ABSTRACT Gyurácz J., Bánhidi P., Góczán J., Illés P., Kalmár S., Koszorús P., Lukács Z., Németh C. and Varga L. 2017. Bird number dynamics during the post-breeding period at the Tömörd Bird Ringing Station, western Hungary. Ring 39: 23-82. The fieldwork, i.e. catching and ringing birds using mist-nets, was conducted at Tömörd Bird Ringing Station in western Hungary during the post-breeding migration seasons in 1998-2016. Altogether, 106,480 individuals of 133 species were ringed at the station. The aim of this paper was to publish basic information on passerine migration at this site. Migration phenology was described through annual and daily capture frequencies. Further- more, we provide the median date of the passage, the date of the earliest or latest capture, the peak migration season within the study period, and the countries where the birds monitored at the site were ringed or recovered abroad. To compare the catching dynamics for the fifty species with total captures greater than 200, a reference period was defined: from 5 Aug. to 5 Nov. 2001-2016. Some non-passerines that are more easily caught with mist-nets or that are caught occasionally were listed as well. The two superdominant spe- cies, the European Robin and the Eurasian Blackcap, with 14,377 and 13,926 total cap- tures, made up 27% of all ringed individuals.

We studied the niche characteristics of birds in managed small-sized green spaces in the urban core areas of southern (Kavala, Greece) and northern Europe (Rovaniemi, Finland), during the breeding season, based on a set of 16 environmental variables and using Outlying Mean Index, a multivariate ordination technique. Overall, 26 bird species in Kavala and 15 in Rovaniemi were recorded in more than 5% of the green spaces and were used in detailed analyses. In both areas, bird species occupied different niches of varying marginality and breadth, indicating varying responses to urban environmental conditions. Birds showed high specialization in niche position, with 12 species in Kavala (46.2%) and six species in Rovaniemi (40.0%) having marginal niches. Niche breadth was narrower in Rovaniemi than in Kavala. Species in both communities were more strongly associated either with large green spaces located further away from the city center and having a high vegetation cover (urban adapters; e.g., Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), European Greenfinch (Chloris Citation: Liordos, V.; Jokimäki, J.; chloris Cyanistes caeruleus Kaisanlahti-Jokimäki, M.-L.; ), Eurasian Blue Tit ( )) or with green spaces located closer to the city center Valsamidis, E.; Kontsiotis, V.J.

Humans have long exploited bird migration 16 through hunting and illegal trapping.

  • Jun2013 Newsletter.Pub
    June 2013 Understanding Avian Diversity At the June 17 meeting, Oklahoma City Audubon Society president Bill Diffin will present a program titled, The Phylogeny of Birds — Understanding Avian Diversity . There are about 10,000 bird species in the world more than half of which are contained in only one of the 29 bird Orders, the Passeriformes. The entire class, Aves, contains more species than any other class of land vertebrates. Therefore a good subtitle for the program is: Where did all those species come from and how are they related? The word "phylogeny" has a very similar meaning to the word "genealogy." A phylogeny represents the ancestral relations among a set of species the same way that a genealogy represents the ancestral relations among a set of people. For many years scientific efforts to create a phylogeny for birds were beset by some vexing problems. The similarities in birds frustrated attempts to formally compare groups in such a way as to reveal their same or different ancestries. The problems in determining the detailed relationships of birds from physical comparisons proved to be so intractable that scientists turned to comparisons of DNA sequences as their primary approach, a method known as molecular phylogenetics. The initial effort, the Sibley-Ahlquist DNA-DNA hybridization studies, produced results that were both revolutionary and controversial. The technology of DNA sequencing and of transforming the sequences into reasonable phylogenetic trees have steadily advanced over the past 20 years aided considerably by advances in computing capability. The result has been a series of ever more precise phylogenetic studies.
