Temperature plays an important role in determining the breeding phenology of birds in temperate climates, with higher spring temperatures associated with earlier breeding. However, the effect of localised territory‐scale temperature variations is poorly understood, with relationships between temperature and breeding phenology mostly studied using coarse‐grained climatic indices. Here, we interpolate...
Songbird populations are in decline all over the world, and our understanding of the causal mechanisms remains surprisingly limited. It is important to identify the extent of individual variations in migratory behaviour to better understand species' ability to respond to environmental change. We describe the annual migratory behaviour of British breeding European Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca...
Tracking small passerines using miniaturized location tags is a rapidly expanding field of study. In a 1‐year study, we tested whether there were any short‐ or longer‐term effects of fitting geolocators weighing 3% of body mass on male Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca. In the deployment year, we compared adult provisioning rates to nestlings, nestling growth and nest success between nesting attempts...
Hair tubes are efficient for sampling shrews and potentially important for sampling Sorex minutus, which is poorly sampled with other methods such as live trapping. We tested the effect of aperture size, bait, and position and type of sticky strip in hair tubes on the detection of S. minutus hairs. The optimum S. minutus hair tube design has high specificity for S. minutus (hairs are 12 times more...
