Non-inversion tillage and farmland birds: a review with special reference to the UK and Europe
This paper reviews the current knowledge of the effects of non-inversion tillage (NIT) on farmland birds and their food resources. NIT is a method of establishing a crop without using a mouldboard ploughing...

Farmland birds and resource protection in the UK: Cross-cutting solutions for multi-functional farming?
Farmland bird declines in Europe are well documented. In the UK, agri-environment schemes are key mechanisms for reversing the declines of birds and other farmland biodiversity, but recent reviews...

Five-year evaluation of the impact of the Arable Stewardship Pilot Scheme on birds
Agri-environment schemes could play a key role in the reversal of farmland bird declines. The effectiveness of the Arable Stewardship Pilot Scheme for delivering farmland birds was tested in a replicated...

Foraging habitat selection by yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) nesting in agriculturally contrasting regions in lowland England
Fine-scale habitat use by yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella), searching for food to provision nestlings was compared in three agriculturally contrasting regions of lowland England. Log-linear modelli...

Habitat and weather are weak correlates of nestling condition and growth rates of four UK farmland passerines
Agricultural intensification is believed to have driven declines of farmland bird populations and the invertebrates and weeds on which they feed. We investigated whether habitat and weather, as surrog...

Habitat characteristics affecting use of lowland agricultural grassland by birds in winter
Almost a third of the bird species designated as Species of European Conservation Concern exploit agricultural grasslands, yet few studies have focused on their use as foraging habitats for birds. Thi...

Birds as predators and as prey
Predation is one of the most important factors acting upon animal populations and is a strong selective force in the evolutiom of form and function (Newton 1998, Krause & Ruxton 2002, Begon et al. 2005, Caro 2005). Studying predation in the...
