CONVENTION ON UNEP/CMS/COP13/Inf.20 MIGRATORY 10 February 2020 SPECIES Original: English 13th MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES Gandhinagar, India, 17 - 22 February 2020 Agenda Item 25 PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EURASIAN-AFRICAN BIRD MIGRATION ATLAS (Submitted by the European Union of Bird Ringing (EURING) and the Institute of Avian Research) Summary: The African-Eurasian Bird Migration Atlas is being developed under the auspices of CMS in the framework of a Global Animal Migration Atlas, of which it constitutes a module. The African-Eurasian Bird Migration Atlas is being developed and compiled by the European Union of Bird Ringing (EURING) under a Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) between the CMS Secretariat and the Institute of Avian Research, acting on behalf of EURING. The development of the African-Eurasian Bird Migration Atlas is funded with the contribution granted by the Government of Italy under the Migratory Species Champion Programme.

(C-E) Attacks on a lone bat (circled red), defined as an attack on an individual that appeared to be flying at least 1m from the edge of the column, and typically in a different direction to the swarm. (F) If an attack occurred in a volume containing many bats, but with no coherent flight direction, then this was also categorised as an attack on a lone bat, rather than as an attack on the swarm.

Niche Analysis and Conservation of Bird Species Using Urban Core Areas

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.

Subspecies is only mentioned when thought to be important and really visible in the field. The totals of birds per species are just a total of the birds I saw to give an idea how many of a species you encounter during a trip. Only species seen are mentioned, and heard when no lifer. On this trip the weather was good with no rain, mostly sunny with (dry) temperatures just above the 20 C and often no wind accept on the first day at Cap Bon.

Laboratory of Animal Ecology
Laboratory of Animal Ecology Noriyuki Yamaguchi [email protected] Our lab is interested in behavior, ecology, and evolution, and focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on avail biology. The majority of our studies are related to behavioral ecology, in particular animal movements. Animals’ movements affect various biological interactions and ecological processes across multiple scales. We seek to understand patterns and the adaptive significance of animal movements. Currently, we are interested in examining the effects of weather conditions and human activities on animal movements. Research • Effects of weather conditions on movement patterns of migratory birds Migratory birds travel between breeding and wintering grounds at the global scale. Recent changes in weather and climatic conditions may severely affect the movements of these birds. Our lab tracks migration route and movement pattern of several raptor species and examines and predicts the effect of weather conditions on the movements. • Tracking migration routes of Japanese murrelets The Japanese murrelet, Synthliboramphus wumizusume, is a threatened seabird species whose distribution extends over Japan and southern Korea (VU on the IUCN Red List). This species breeds in small islands around Japan and South Korea and breeding ecology and population status are examined in some breeding colonies. However, little is known about the Japanese murrelet’s movement patterns outside of the breeding season. Our lab tracks the movements of Japanese murrelets using loggers, such as geolocators, to reveal the species’ migration. • Adaptive vocal communications of birds in urban environments In urban environments, birds are exposed to artificial sounds that can be loud and have the potential to inhibit vocal communications.

Migratory Birds of Ladakh a Brief Long Distance Continental Migration
WORLD'S MIGRATORY BIRDS DAY 08 MAY, 2021 B R O W N H E A D E D G U L L MIGRATORY BIRDS OF LADAKH A BRIEF LONG DISTANCE CONTINENTAL MIGRATION the Arctic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and comprises several migration routes of waterbirds. It also touches “West Asian- East African Flyway”. Presence of number of high-altitude wetlands (>2500 m amsl altitude) with thin human population makes Ladakh a suitable habitat for migration and breeding of continental birds, including wetlands of very big size (e.g., Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri, Tso Kar, etc.). C O M M O N S A N D P I P E R Ladakh provides a vast habitat for the water birds through its complex Ladakh landscape has significance network of wetlands including two being located at the conjunction of most important wetlands (Tso Moriri, four zoogeographic zones of the world Tso Kar) which have been designated (Palearctic, Oriental, Sino-Japanese and as Ramsar sites. Sahara-Arabian). In India, Ladakh landscape falls in Trans-Himalayan Nearly 89 bird species (long distance biogeographic zone and two provinces migrants) either breed or roost in (Ladakh Mountains, 1A) and (Tibetan Ladakh, and most of them (59) are Plateau, 1B). “Summer Migrants”, those have their breeding grounds here. Trans-Himalayan Ladakh is an integral part of the "Central Asian Flyway" of migratory birds which a large part of the globe (Asia and Europe) between Ladakh also hosts 25 bird species, during their migration along the Central Asian Flyway, as “Passage Migrants” which roost in the region.
