Fuel deposition rates in migrating birds: Causes, constraints and consequences.

Abstract: Most, if not all, migrants deposit fuel before they fly. Some migrants can more than double their mass from fuelling (Piersma and Gill 1998), whereas others, like the white stork, Ciconia cconia, put on small amounts and stop for feeding every day (Berthold et al. 2001).

Changes in adult annual survival rates in a western European population of the White Stork Ciconia ciconia

Abstract: 'The population of the White Stork Ciconia ciconia in Alsace (northeastern France) has decreased considerably since 1961. Using recent capture-recapture models, we analysed resighting data on ringed birds resulting from a long-term ringing programme carried out in 1947-1985. Time-dependence and age-dependence in annual survival rates are examined with reference to environmental variables in the Sahel wintering area. Our results show a decrease in adult annual survival rate linked to the severity of the drought in the Sahelian zone.

Effect of Rubbish Dumps on Breeding Success in the White Stork in Southern Spain

Abstract: Rubbish dumps provide an extra and constant food source for many birds. The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is one of the species that have taken advantage of these new foraging areas both during breeding season and during the winter. This study analyzes data collected in the Spanish province of Cordoba throughout five years between 1992 and 1998 on the biology and breeding success of the White Stork and the influence of rubbish dumps. Breeding success varied significantly between years and areas in two of the study years. A banding program from 1990 to 1998 resulted in 145 storks being marked as nestlings. Of these, 49 were resighted at least once by May 2001 (34% resighting rate) and 16 of these birds were resighted as breeders at a mean age of 2.87 years. 75% of them were breeding close to rubbish dumps. Fifteen birds were resighted during wintering time, of which twelve were at rubbish dumps.

Migratory orientation of first-year white storks (Ciconia ciconia): inherited information and social interactions.

Abstract: We used satellite tracking to study the migratory orientation of juvenile white storks from the population in the Kaliningrad Region (Russia) during their first autumn migration. Two series of experiments were performed. In the first series of experiments, several groups of first-year storks were raised in an aviary, kept there until all free-living conspecifics had left the area and then released. These birds had to select their migratory route on the basis of the inherited directional information they possessed, without any chance of being guided by their experienced conspecifics. In the second series of experiments, several groups of juveniles were displaced from the Kaliningrad Region to the Volga area and to Western Siberia. Both areas lie outside the breeding range of the white stork so the displaced birds also had to rely on their innate migratory program. Results from the differently designed experiments did not match. Nor did they match with the results of earlier experiments on the delayed departure of juvenile white storks as reported by several authors. We suggest that naive white storks (and maybe other soaring migrants) rely on social interactions when selecting their autumn migratory route to a much greater extent than do passerine long-distance migrants.
