Composition of Eggs of Several Bird Species
--This paper presents the lipid, nonlipid dry matter, and water contents of the eggs of the Starling, Coturnix Quail, Mourning Dove, Laughing Gull, and Mallard and compares the data with published accounts of the eggs of other species. The lipid level of the yolk and the percentage of yolk in the egg increase in direct relation to the precocity of the young at hatching. The high lil•id content ...
متن کاملDoes Urbanization Affect Predation of Bird Nests? A Meta-Analysis
Urbanization can affect interspecific interactions such as predator-prey relationships. Several hypotheses have been postulated to predict how predation on bird nests changes along urbanization gradients; some predict increased and others decreased predation pressures in urban compared to rural habitats. Using a formal meta-analytical approach, we carried out a systematic literature review to t...
متن کاملPredation of experimental nests is linked to local population dynamics in a fragmented bird population.
Artificial nest experiments (ANEs) are widely used to obtain proxies of natural nest predation for testing a variety of hypotheses, from those dealing with variation in life-history strategies to those assessing the effects of habitat fragmentation on the persistence of bird populations. However, their applicability to real-world scenarios has been criticized owing to the many potential biases ...
متن کاملCONGENER-SPECIFIC BIOACCUMULATION OF PCBs IN DIFFERENT WATER BIRD SPECIES
The bioaccumulation behaviour of single PCB congeners in three trophic levels of a food chain in an aquatic ecosystem was studied. Congener-specific biotransfer factors were calculated comparing PCB concentrations in tissues of 4 water bird species with the contents measured in their food source. The coplanar PCBs were of particular interest. The maximum concentrations of individual PCB congene...
متن کاملLooking for Bird Nests: Identifying Stay Points with Bounded Gaps
A stay point of a moving entity is a region in which it spends a significant amount of time. In this paper, we identify all stay points of an entity in a certain time interval, where the entity is allowed to leave the region but it should return within a given time limit. This definition of stay points seems more natural in many applications of trajectory analysis than those that do not limit t...
