ABSTRACTIxodes ricinusticks collected from 835 birds and from vegetation in the Czech Republic were analyzed. Host-seeking ticks (n= 427) were infected predominantly byBorrelia afzelii(25%). Ticks (n= 1,012) from songbirds (Passeriformes) were infected commonly byBorrelia garinii(12.1%) andBorrelia valaisiana(13.4%). Juveniles of synanthropic birds, Eurasian blackbirds (Turdus merula) and song thrushes (Turdus philomelos), were major reservoir hosts ofB. garinii.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Blackbirds (Turdus merula) and song thrushes (Turdus philomelos) were found to carry 95% of all spirochete-infected tick larvae among 40 bird species captured in Central Europe. More than 90% of the infections were typed as Borrelia garinii and Borrelia valaisiana. We conclude that thrushes are key players in the maintenance of these spirochete species in this region of Central Europe.

Abstract:
In Calabria, il Tordo bottaccio Turdus philomelos si riproduce solo nei settori settentrionali e centrali della Regione (i.e. Pollino, Orsomarso e Sila), mentre in provincia di Reggio Calabria la nidificazione non è mai stata accertata e le osservazioni risultano scarse e concentrate esclusivamente nei periodi migratori. Durante due successive stagioni riproduttive (2015-2016), abbiamo osservato N=16 individui di T. philomelos a differenti altitudini (min 630 m, max 1,838 m a.s.l.) prevalentemente nei boschi di latifoglie decidue mesofile. Sono stati utilizzati la modalità del “distance sampling” eseguendo un transetto a piedi ed altre 3 diverse tecniche di campionamento “point-count” per stimare la presenza della specie nel Parco Nazionale dell’Aspromonte. Con questo lavoro, abbiamo accertato per la prima volta la nidificazione del T. philomelos nel Parco Nazionale dell’Aspromonte e nella provincia di Reggio Calabria. In futuro, con l’incremento dell’area di investigazione, si potrà quantificare in modo più accurato il numero di coppie nidificanti e la loro distribuzione su scala regionale.

Abstract Muscianese E., Martino G., Sgro P., Scebba S. and Sorrenti M. 2018. Timing of pre-nuptial migration of the Song Thrush Turdus philomelos in Calabria (southern Italy). Ring 40: 19-30. The European Commission has established that pre-nuptial migration of the Song Thrush Turdus philomelos in Italy begins in the second decade (10-day period) of January. This three-year study was carried out at two localities in the Calabria region of southern Italy from 2012 to 2014, with 3-4 ringing sessions every decade from mid-January to the end of March. In total, 447 birds were captured. Based on catching dynamics and changes in fat load and body mass, we documented that the species’ northward migration took place in mainly March, with early movements in February. As no migratory activity was detected before the second decade of February, the dates of the hunting season in this area can be re-considered.

Abstract Typical, but less common, passerine forest species were selected for this study, such as Lullula arborea, Anthus trivialis, Troglodytes troglodytes, Prunella modularis, Turdus philomelos, Turdus viscivorus, Phylloscopus sibilatrix, Regulus regulus, Regulus ignicapillus, Muscicapa striata, Ficedula albicollis, Ficedula hypoleuca, Parus cristatus, Parus palustris, Parus ater, Certhia familiaris, Certhia brachydactyla, Oriolus oriolus, Garrulus glandarius, and Corvus corax. M. striata and T. philomelos were the most numerous among the 20 investigated species, the former one nested in a density of 6.7 pairs per 100 ha of wooded area, while the later one at 5.1 pairs per 100 ha. Density of most other species was below 3 pairs per 100 ha of wooded area. A. trivialis, P. cristatus and P. modularis were unexpectedly rare (< 1 pair per 100 ha). Otherwise, relatively numerous were T. troglodytes (1.8 p./100 ha), R. regulus (1.8 p./100 ha) and P. palustris (1.4 p./100 ha). P. cristatus, L. arborea, and T. viscivorus were the rarest species investigated (below 0.1 p./100 ha). Several bird species nested in wooded areas only in the outer zone of the city. This group included A. trivialis, R. regulus, P. ater, and C. corax. Population density of T. troglodytes, T. philomelos and O. oriolus were significantly higher in outer than in inner zone, while the reverse was true in the case of M. striata and F. hypoleuca.

Abstract:
The song thrush (Turdus philomelos) was introduced to New Zealand from Britain during the mid 19th century and has become one of the most common terrestrial bird species in New Zealand. In this study, I surveyed a range of life-history traits in New Zealand song thrushes for comparison with traits of British thrushes. Clutch size, egg size and nest size have decreased, while the nestling period is shorter and the incubation period longer. This combination of changes suggests birds are investing less energy into each reproductive bout. Birds also appear unable to raise large broods, as nestling starvation is common in New Zealand, which suggests that food is limiting. I experimentally tested the ability of song thrushes to incubate enlarged clutches and broods, but productivity was not higher for enlarged broods and natural 3- and 4-egg clutches produced similar numbers of fledglings. Thus reduced clutch size may be an adaptation to the local environment. Differences in female incubation behaviour, with 3- and 4-egg clutches receiving higher levels of incubation and more visits per hour than 5-egg clutches, also suggest New Zealand thrushes have difficulty coping with clutches as large as those in Britain. The decrease in clutch size between New Zealand and Britain is in the direction and magnitude expected based on the change in latitude, which supports the hypothesis that factors affecting foraging time and food availability, such as daylength, temperature and rainfall, may be selecting for smaller clutches. Egg size was also found to have decreased in New Zealand, though this may be the result of smaller adult size. Hatchling mass was related to egg volume, but I found no effect of egg volume or clutch size on hatching success. However, nests containing more pointed eggs (i.e., abnormally-shaped eggs), had lower survival and hatching/fledgling success. Data from the national nest record database and my study both suggest that differences in song thrush productivity are the result of differential survival of nestlings. Nestling mortality due to starvation was common at Kowhai Bush, but rare in Britain, so either adult condition or food availability may be lowering reproductive success in New Zealand. High rates of nest failure (>65%) could also affect clutch size, but the strong directional selection imposed by food limitation during the nestling period suggests that increases in food supply would result in increased reproductive success even with the same levels of nest failure. When comparing clutch size throughout New Zealand, I found a significant, positive relationship with rainfall, which further suggests that food limitation may be the main factor driving changes in life-history traits of song thrushes in New Zealand.

Abstract:
Widespread anthropogenic invasions have prompted concerns that naturalized organisms could threaten biodiversity. In particular, invasive weeds can negatively affect native biota through a variety of means, including disrupting mutualisms. This thesis was designed to observe and test dispersal mutualisms in a native forest during autumn when the majority of plant species are fruiting. In this thesis I examined whether the invasive plant barberry (Berberis glaucocarpa) was influencing the behaviour of a native frugivore bellbird (Anthornis melanura) and a range of dispersal related services in a native forest, Kowhai Bush near Kaikoura. To test these 18 banded bellbirds were followed through autumn 2011. These observe bellbirds were split between control and test bird. Barberry fruit was removed from the test bird territories. I recorded whether bellbirds changed their territory sizes, foraging and daily behaviours. During 52 hours of observations, bellbirds were never observed feeding on barberry fruit. No significant changes to bellbird behaviour or territories were observed after the removal of barberry fruit. Bellbird diet overall was dominated by invertebrates (83% of foraging observations), with smaller contributions from fruit (16%, nearly all on Coprosma robusta), nectar and honeydew. Since bellbirds did not eat barberry fruit, removal of this weed is unlikely to negatively affect bellbirds during autumn. Which other bird species were dispersing barberry was recorded. I recorded 242 hours of videotape footage on 24 fruiting plants. A total of 101 foraging events were recorded of 4 different bird species: silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) 42 visits, blackbirds (Turdus merula) 27 visits, song thrush (Turdus philomelos) 29, and starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) 3 visits. The species differed in the mean length of time they spent in plants, so the overall contribution to barberry fruit removal was 32.6% silvereyes, 24.3% blackbirds, 42.9% song thrush and 0.1% starlings. To find out the relative contribution of exotic and native birds to dispersal of fruits in Kowhai Bush, I mist-netted 221 birds of 10 species and identified any seeds in the 183 faeces they deposited. A total of 21 plant species were observed fruiting in Kowhai Bush during this time. A total of 11 different plant species were identified from 1092 seeds. Birds were further observed feeding on 3 other plant species which were not observed in faecal samples. This left 7 plants with unobserved dispersal vectors. There were likely four main dispersers, bellbirds, silvereyes, song thrush and blackbirds and five minor, brown creeper (Mohoua novaeseelandiae), tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), fantails (Rhipidura fuliginosa), dunnock (Prunella modularis) and starlings. However there was considerable variability between these bird species dispersal abilities. Introduced birds’ song thrush and blackbirds were observed dispersing naturalized plant seeds at higher than expected rates in comparison to native frugivores bellbirds and silvereyes. I also measured the gape sizes on mist netted birds and on samples of fruit from Kowhai Bush. Both silvereyes and bellbirds were found to be eating fruit larger than their gape, but despite this two native (Hedycarya arborea and Ripogonum scandens) and three exotic plants (Vitis vinifera, Taxus baccata and Crataegus monogyna) had large fruit that were probably mainly dispersed by song thrush and blackbirds. Hence, introduced birds were important seed dispersers for large fleshy fruited seeds in Kowhai Bush. Demonstrating that interactions among native and exotic flesh fruited plants and frugivores is important within forest communities.

Abstract:
Birds are a major pest in vineyards both in New Zealand and overseas. There is a need for new behavioural research on birds' foraging habits and feeding preferences in vineyards, as much of the literature to date is anecdotal. Research on cues to birds' feeding will provide a basis on which new deterrent and control strategies can be devised. Spatial-and temporal bird damage in a small vineyard block was mapped to find if damage was correlated with grape maturity and environmental factors. Vineyard and field observations of bird behaviour using video technology combined with preference experiments aimed to establish the relative roles of grape sugar concentration and colour in avian selection. Proximity of vineyards to bird roosts affects damage levels, regardless of differing maturity between locations. The rate of damage tends to increase exponentially once grape maturity has passed a threshold of 13 °Brix. Bunches positioned closest to the ground receive more damage if blackbirds or song thrushes are the predominant pests. Both sugar concentration and grape colour were found to affect birds' feeding preference, but the importance of the two factors varied between years. Black and green grape varieties were differentially preferred by blackbirds (Turdus merula) and song thrushes (Turdus philomelos) while silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) appeared to have no strong colour preference. It was apparent that there were other, not assessed, grape factors that also affect selection. In small unprotected vineyards that are adjacent to bird roosts the entire grape crop can be taken by bird pests. Besides removing the roosts, which can be beneficial shelterbelts in regions exposed to high winds, growers currently may have no alternative other than to use exclusion netting to keep crops intact. The differential preferences between bird species for variety characteristics suggest that any new deterrents and other strategies to deflect birds from grape crops may need to be species-specific.

Abstract:
Heidegger’s distinction between man and animal, in common with other philosopher’s accounts, also has sexual difference at stake. This chapter takes up his opposition between human creativity and mechanical (animal) technology. Other writers present technology as integral to hominization. In either case, the work of women (as well as other inferiors) can end up on the mechanical animal side – and thus women’s weaving (like spiders’ webs), for example, would be neither creative nor a true technological invention. The chapter analyses some myths of weaving and metamorphosis (such as those of Arachne or Philomela); and then turns to contemporary women writing back. Duffy’s poetry mocks those, like Aesop, who lay down the law about animals and humans; Darrieussecq and Ndiaye’s novels rewrite metamorphosis into a pig, wolf, or dogs.
