Extra-Pair Paternity in the Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) in Central Russia
AbstractExtra-pair paternity is widespread in passerine birds. The number of extra-pair young (EPY) varies among different species and populations of...

Usage of song repertoire and male-male communication in pale-legged leaf-warbler
In many songbird species, an individual bird sings multiple song types, i.e., has a song repertoire. Song repertoires are used in territorial defense...

Lack of specialist nidicoles as a characteristic of mite assemblages inhabiting nests of the ground-nesting wood warbler, Phylloscopus sibilatrix (Aves: Passeriformes)
Bird and mammal nests provide microhabitats that support a range of other species, including invertebrates. However, the variation between...

Is syllable repetitions a song parameter important for male-male interactions in Eurasian reed warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus)?
Song complexity has been identified as one song characteristic important in female choice, whereas its role in male-male interactions is less clear...

Comparative Study of Aggressive Signaling in Three Closely-Related Warbler Species
AbstractSongbirds are known to use several different ways to signal aggression, and even closely-related species can differ in this respect. It is...

Effects of weather on behavioural responses of two warbler (Phylloscopus) species in the Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area
Leaf warblers ( Phylloscopus F. Boie, 1826) are small, insectivorous passerine birds that prefer trees. Although many songbirds, including warblers,...

Small shrubby patches increase bird taxonomic and functional richness of wood-pastures
Wood-pastures are semi-natural systems that combine a grazed grassland with a tree layer. Shrubs are often controlled, mostly to improve grazing...

A framework to support the identification of critical habitat for wide-ranging species at risk under climate change
To recover species at risk, it is necessary to identify habitat critical to their recovery. Challenges for species with large ranges (thousands of...

Songbird nests on the ground as islands of diversity of ptyctimous mites (Acari: Oribatida) in the primeval Białowieża Forest (Poland)
Due to specific microclimatic conditions and accumulation of organic matter, bird nests are microhabitats that are often inhabited by various...

Breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler (Abroscopus superciliaris)
The life history of birds dictates their activities and is crucial to population success. However, the life history traits of only one-third of the...

Tall, large-diameter trees and dense shrub layer as key determinants of the abundance and composition of bird communities in oak-dominated forests
Increasing human activity is altering the structure of forests, which affects the composition of communities, including birds. However, little is...

Absence of Referential Alarm Calls in Long-term Allopatry from the Referent: A Case Study with Galapagos Yellow Warblers
AbstractAnimals across diverse lineages use referential calls to warn of and respond to specific threats, and the ability to understand these calls...

Moult of overwintering Wood Warblers Phylloscopus sibilatrix in an annual-cycle perspective
Wood Warblers, an Afro-Palearctic migrant species, are declining steadily in Europe likely due to mortality outside their breeding grounds. However,...

Diurnal migration patterns in willow warblers differ between the western and eastern flyways
It is a long-standing view that the main mechanism maintaining narrow migratory divides in passerines is the selection against intermediate and...
