The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Hungary & Transylvania

    Hungary & Transylvania

    Although we had many exciting birds, the ‘Bird of the trip’ was Wallcreeper in 2015. (János Oláh) HUNGARY & TRANSYLVANIA 14 – 23 MAY 2015 LEADER: JÁNOS OLÁH Central and Eastern Europe has a great variety of bird species including lots of special ones but at the same time also offers a fantastic variety of different habitats and scenery as well as the long and exciting history of the area. Birdquest has operated tours to Hungary since 1991, being one of the few pioneers to enter the eastern block. The tour itinerary has been changed a few times but nowadays the combination of Hungary and Transylvania seems to be a settled and well established one and offers an amazing list of European birds. This tour is a very good introduction to birders visiting Europe for the first time but also offers some difficult-to-see birds for those who birded the continent before. We had several tour highlights on this recent tour but certainly the displaying Great Bustards, a majestic pair of Eastern Imperial Eagle, the mighty Saker, the handsome Red-footed Falcon, a hunting Peregrine, the shy Capercaillie, the elusive Little Crake and Corncrake, the enigmatic Ural Owl, the declining White-backed Woodpecker, the skulking River and Barred Warblers, a rare Sombre Tit, which was a write-in, the fluty Red-breasted and Collared Flycatchers and the stunning Wallcreeper will be long remembered. We recorded a total of 214 species on this short tour, which is a respectable tally for Europe. Amongst these we had 18 species of raptors, 6 species of owls, 9 species of woodpeckers and 15 species of warblers seen! Our mammal highlight was undoubtedly the superb views of Carpathian Brown Bears of which we saw ten on a single afternoon! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Hungary & Transylvania 2015 www.birdquest-tours.com We also had a nice overview of the different habitats of a Carpathian transect from the Great Hungarian Plain through the deciduous woodlands of the Carpathian foothills to the higher conifer-covered mountains.

    The Evolution of Nest Construction in Swallows (Hirundinidae) Is Associated with the Decrease of Clutch Size

    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 38/1 711-716 21.7.2006 The evolution of nest construction in swallows (Hirundinidae) is associated with the decrease of clutch size P. HENEBERG A b s t r a c t : Variability of the nest construction in swallows (Hirundinidae) is more diverse than in other families of oscine birds. I compared the nest-building behaviour with pooled data of clutch size and overall hatching success for 20 species of swallows. The clutch size was significantly higher in temperate cavity-adopting swallow species than in species using other nesting modes including species breeding in evolutionarily advanced mud nests (P<0.05) except of the burrow-excavating Bank Swallow. Decrease of the clutch size during the evolution of nest construction is not compensated by the increase of the overall hatching success. K e y w o r d s : Hirundinidae, nest construction, clutch size, evolution Birds use distinct methods to avoid nest-predation: active nest defence, nest camouflage and concealment or sheltered nesting. While large and powerful species prefer active nest-defence, swallows and martins usually prefer construction of sheltered nests (LLOYD 2004). The nests of swallows vary from natural cavities in trees and rocks, to self-exca- vated burrows to mud retorts and cups attached to vertical faces. Much attention has been devoted to the importance of controlling for phylogeny in com- parative tests (HARVEY & PAGEL 1991), including molecular phylogenetic studies of swallows (WINKLER & SHELDON 1993). Interactions between the nest-construction va- riability and the clutch size, however, had been ignored.

Weather was characterized by high cloud cover and haze, in part from Harmattan winds that blow from the northeast and carry particulates from the Sahara Desert. Temperatures were relatively pleasant as a result, and precipitation was almost nonexistent. Everyone stayed healthy, the AC on the bus functioned perfectly, the tropical fruits (i.e., bananas, mangos, papayas, and pineapples) that Paul and Jackson obtained from roadside sellers were exquisite and perfectly ripe, the meals and lodgings were passable, and the jokes from Jeff tolerable, for the most part. We detected 380 species of birds, including some that were heard but not seen. We did especially well with kingfishers, bee-eaters, greenbuls, and sunbirds. We observed 28 species of diurnal raptors, which is not a large number for this part of the world, but everyone was happy with the wonderful looks we obtained of species such as African Harrier-Hawk, African Cuckoo-Hawk, Hooded Vulture, White-headed Vulture, Bat Hawk (pair at nest!), Long-tailed Hawk, Red-chested Goshawk, Grasshopper Buzzard, African Hobby, and Lanner Falcon.

Bird survey was conducted using both Line transect and Area search methods. A total of Eight (8) transect lines with lengths ranging from 1km to 1.5km were walked during the survey. The survey spanned three months May, June and July with 6 repeat visits. Data obtained were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. PAST Software (version 16) was used to compute bird diversity indices while differences in birds mean number between the developed and undeveloped areas were analysed using T-test. A total of 876 individual birds from 63 species, 27 families and 11 Orders were recorded in the study area. The developed area had 46 species from 24 families while the undeveloped area had 20 species from 12 families. The family Pycnonotidae had the highest number of species both in the developed (6, 13.04%) and undeveloped (6, 10.34%) areas.
  • Population Trends of Common Birds in the Italian Alps

    Population Trends of Common Birds in the Italian Alps

    Population Index of Common Breeding Birds in Italian Mountain Prairies Rural development: A critical opportunity for people and biodiversity With a spotlight on the Alpine region Turin 6 november 2013 Mountains cover almost a quarter of the Earth surface, host more than 16% of global human population but provide services to many more communities and people Mountains provide many kind of resources that have positive impacts on human health and its prosperity far beyond their natural boundaries. One for all, water The mountains contribute for the 16% to the Italian national GDP However, despite their importance, the conservation status of mountains is not so satisfactory and many problems exist. Some of these are related with human presence and activities, e.g. effects of climate change, pollution, settlement and infrastructures development and tourism pressure; others with the opposite phenomena e.g. changes in cultural landscape and decrease of open habitats, and their biodiversity, due to the land abandonment For these reasons, MITO2000 project (the Italian national common bird monitoring scheme) decided to focus on species breeding in mountain open habitats MITO2000 is part of PECBMS (Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme), a Europe-wide network of national breeding bird monitoring projects. This network produces indices of population trends of many breeding bird species. One of the most important index is the FBI (Farmland Bird Index), that is one of the EU indicators to assess the impact of agri- environment measures of the CAP These indices are “aggregated indices” because they are calculated averaging the population trends of some species, choosen on the basis of their shared ecological preferences Through objective procedures we identified a group of species breeding in mountain open habitats and, from 2009, we used them to build up a new aggregate index, named FBIpm ( Mountain Prairies Index) Some results .....
