  • Impact of Human Activity on Foraging Flocks and Populations of the Alpine Chough Pyrrhocorax Graculus

Present address: Institut d'écologie, CNRS URA 258, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, 7 qua i St Bernard, 75252 Paris, France. Abstract - The Alpine Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus is a social corvid which uses food provided by tourist activities in mountain regions (e.g. at ski stations, refuse dumps, picnic areas). In order to determine the impact ofthe human food supply on the Alpine Chough, foraging flock size and distribution were studied in a tourist region in the Northern French Alps between 1988 and 1992. Alpine Chough attendance at tourist sites was closely related to human activities. Activity rhytbrn was influenced by human presence on picnic area in summer. Relations to human activities held at a seasonal scale (such as opening of a ski station) but not at a daily time scale (such as weekend). Long term trends of Alpine Chough populations since intense tourist development at altitude are discussed with regard of flock size counts recorded at a same site before and after intense tourist development. Introduction a little studied species, and it is particularly uncertain whether Alpine Chough populations have increased Availability of food is a factor which influences the since the intense development of tourist activities in distribution and abundance of species at a range of mountains. spatial and temporal scales.

  • The Chough in Britain and Ireland
    The Chough in Britain and Ireland /. D. Bullock, D. R. Drewett and S. P. Mickleburgh he Chough Pyrrhocoraxpyrrhocorax has a global range that extends from Tthe Atlantic seaboard of Europe to the Himalayas. Vaurie (1959) mentioned seven subspecies and gave the range of P. p. pyrrhocorax as Britain and Ireland only. He considered the Brittany population to be the race found in the Alps, Italy and Iberia, P. p. erythroramphus, whereas Witherby et al. (1940) regarded it as the nominate race. Despite its status as a Schedule I species, and general agreement that it was formerly much more widespread, the Chough has never been adequately surveyed. Apart from isolated regional surveys (e.g. Harrop 1970, Donovan 1972), there has been only one comprehensive census, undertaken by enthusiastic volunteers in 1963 (Rolfe 1966). Although often quoted, the accuracy of the 1963 survey has remained in question, and whether the population was increasing, stable or in decline has remained a mystery. In 1982, the RSPB organised an international survey in conjunction with the IWC and the BTO, to determine the current breeding numbers and distribution in Britain and Ireland and to collect data on habitat types within the main breeding areas. A survey of the Brittany population was organised simultaneously by members of La Societe pour 1'Etude et la Protection de la Nature en Bretagne (SEPNB). The complete survey results are presented here, together with an analysis of the Chough's breeding biology based on collected data and BTO records, along with a discussion of the ecological factors affecting Choughs. Regional totals and local patterns of breeding and feeding biology are discussed in more detail in a series of regional papers for Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales and Scotland (Bullock*/al.

DOI: 10.2478/orhu-2020-0009 Abstract: Corvids are the largest songbirds in Europe. They are known in the avian fauna of Europe from the Miocene, the beginning of the Neogene, and are currently represented by 11 species. Due to their size, they occur more frequently among fossilized material than other types of songbirds, and thus have been examined to the largest extent. In the current article, we present their known evolution and their fossilized taxa in Europe and examine the osteology of extant species. Keywords: Corvidae, Neogene, Quaternary, Europe, Carpathian Basin, osteology Összefoglalás: A varjúfélék a legnagyobb termetű, Európában is elterjedt énekesmadarak. A kontinens madárfau- nájában a neogén elejétől, a miocénból ismertek, és jelenleg 11 fajjal vannak képviselve. Termetük következtében gyakrabban előfordulnak a fosszilis anyagban, mint a többi énekesmadár típus, és ennek következtében nagyobb mértékben is tanulmányozták őket. Jelen tanulmányban bemutatjuk az ismert európai evolúciójukat és fosszilis taxonjaikat, és foglalkozunk a recens fajok csonttanával is.

La question du changement climatique s’ajoute aujourd'hui aux réflexions et aux pratiques d’aménagement. Il faut alors s’interroger sur les implications de la rencontre entre un objet aux spécificités marquées et un phénomène générique, dont la représentation découle d’une appréhension globale du climat (réchauffement planétaire ou global warming) à travers des modèles prospectifs sans finesses dans leurs projections locales.

Names prefixed with “&” or “%” usually indicate the host species has successfully reared the brood parasite. Notes following names qualify host status or indicate source for inclusion in list. Note on taxonomy. Cuckoo taxonomy follows Payne 2005. Most English and scientific names for hosts from Sibley and Monroe (1990); in large families, the subfamilies and tribes of Sibley and Monroe are treated as “families” in this listing of host species.

  • The White-Throated Magpie-Jay
    THE WHITE-THROATED MAGPIE-JAY BY ALEXANDER F. SKUTCH ORE than 15 years have passed since I was last in the haunts of the M White-throated Magpie-Jay (Calocitta formosa) . During the years when I travelled more widely through Central America I saw much of this bird, and learned enough of its habits to convince me that it would well repay a thorough study. Since it now appears unlikely that I shall make this study myself, I wish to put on record such information as I gleaned, in the hope that these fragmentary notes will stimulate some other bird- watcher to give this jay the attention it deserves. A big, long-tailed bird about 20 inches in length, with blue and white plumage and a high, loosely waving crest of recurved black feathers, the White-throated Magpie-Jay is a handsome species unlikely to be confused with any other member of the family. Its upper parts, including the wings and most of the tail, are blue or blue-gray with a tinge of lavender. The sides of the head and all the under plumage are white, and the outer feathers of the strongly graduated tail are white on the terminal half. A narrow black collar crosses the breast and extends half-way up each side of the neck, between the white and the blue. The stout bill and the legs and feet are black. The sexes are alike in appearance. The species extends from the Mexican states of Colima and Puebla to northwestern Costa Rica. A bird of the drier regions, it is found chiefly along the Pacific coast from Mexico southward as far as the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica.

  • Longevity of Birds in Captivity
    Vol.1928 XLV] I BROW•,Longevity ofBirds in Captivity. 345 LONGEVITY OF BIRDS IN CAPTIVITY. BY C. EMERSON BROWN. BUT little is known of the length of life of birds. Bird banders are doing some valuable work along these lines, but even their data must necessarilybe very incomplete. It is difficultto state how muchlonger a bird will live in the wild than in captivity. In the wild state very little is knownof the durationof life. It is, however,extremely doubtful if any birds live long enoughto die of old age, as their lives are traveledon a road besetwith dangers, and eternal vigilanceand hard work are the price of living. Thousandsof birds meet violent deaths yearly either by being killedby otherbirds, mammals or reptiles,flying against buildings or wiresduring their migration,or are shot by hunters. Besides this, many perishbecause of the vicissitudesof the weatherand lack of food. They certainly have many advantagesin captivity, the greatestof whichis the protectionfrom their enemies. There is never a scarcityof food or drink and they are protectedfrom severeweather at all times. It is alsoa fact that somespecimens in captivitydo die of diseasesof theheart, blood and kidneys which are diseasesso commonin human old age. It is, however, difficult to say whether the length of life is shortenedby captivityor not. I have,prepared the followinglist showingthe duration of life of a few speciesin captivity in the PhiladdphiaZoological Garden, which I hopewill be of interest. Among the Passefinebirds the Yellow-headedBlackbird heads the list with 18 years,the JungleBabbler, 16 and the Himalayan Chough,14. The Hyacinth Macaw lived 27 years and a Horn- bill 24.
