Ground-nesting birds in agriculture landscapes: what is the negative effect of forest patches and how can parents cope with it?

This blog post is provided by Guillaume Dillenseger, and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Predator-guild-specific parental responses mitigate higher predation risk on ground nests close to forest patches in a mosaic landscape“, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. This study tested whether predation risk of experimental lapwing nests and aggressive responses by breeding lapwings to stuffed nest predators may depend on distance … Continue reading Ground-nesting birds in agriculture landscapes: what is the negative effect of forest patches and how can parents cope with it?

Beyond simple habituation: Anthropogenic habitats influence the escape behavior of spur-winged lapwings in response to both human and non-human threats

This blog post is provided by Bar-Ziv Michael, Sofer Aran, Gorovoy Adel and Spiegel Orr and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Beyond simple habituation: Anthropogenic habitats influence the escape behavior of spur-winged lapwings in response to both human and non-human threats“, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In their paper they use a unique “Jack-Truck” to simulate a jackal predator, and explore … Continue reading Beyond simple habituation: Anthropogenic habitats influence the escape behavior of spur-winged lapwings in response to both human and non-human threats
