TL;DR: It is concluded that recognition of owls, shrikes, and novel birds is innate, and two simple formalisms are proposed that can account for ‘weighted summation’ of sign stimuli with stimulus dilation being a special case.

TL;DR: Analysis of data on the red-backed shrike Lanius collurio collected in Western Poland during 1983–2000 suggests that the relationship between arrival date and population size needs to be considered in studies of avian migration.
Abstract: Many analyses do not consider the problems associated with the effects of population size on encounter recording. Population size could impact on the detection of bird arrival time as there is a higher probability of observing earlier arrival when the population size is greater and the song activity of birds is increased, as occurs with a larger population. As a case study, we have analysed data on the red-backed shrike Lanius collurio collected in Western Poland during 1983–2000. In this period the red-backed shrike’s return to its breeding sites became significantly earlier whilst the contemporary population size increased significantly. To eliminate linear trends through time we have worked on the standardised residuals from regression of both arrival time and population size on year. The correlation between arrival time and population size residuals was significantly negative, further supporting the link between detection and population size. This finding suggests that, in studies of avian migration and its changes over time, the relationship between arrival date and population size needs to be considered.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a two-step approach aiming at showing pros and cons of landscape and site-level habitat models, identifying key habitat factors for conservation of a threatened bird species, the red-backed shrike Lanius collurio.

TL;DR: The "true" shrikes are a striking group of birds occurring throughout most of the Old World and North America as mentioned in this paper, including the Southern grey shrike and the great grey shrikes.
Abstract: The "true" shrikes are a striking group of birds occurring throughout most of the Old World and North America. This is a comprehensive guide to 31 species of shrike from all over the world. It includes information on distribution, general behaviour, ecology and conservation, as well as on identification features. The author covers the latest taxonomic views on the family, and considers the Southern grey shrike to be a separate species from the great grey shrike.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the red-backed shrike as a model for investigating the effect of land abandonment on a threatened bird species, and used historical data to model dynamic scenarios.
