Linking plant composition and arthropod abundance to establish little bustard b...
Faria, Nuno; Rabaça, João E.; Morales, Manuel B.Most research on steppe bird habitat selection has been focused on the effects of management regimes or vegetation structure. However, much less is known on how plant composition is related with steppe bird occurrence. We investigated microhabitat of little bustard territorial males and females during the nesting and chick-rearing season in areas with dominance of pastureland focusing on plant composition. We s...
The importance of grazing regime in the provision of breeding habitat for grass...
Faria, Nuno; Rabaça, João E.; Morales, Manuel B.In Mediterranean dry grasslands, grazing by domestic animals is an important agricultural activity on dry grasslands. Several bird species occur in these grazed habitats and are now experiencing a near continuous decline. We investigated the impact of livestock grazing on the threatened little bustard (Tetrax tetrax L.). The study was conducted at the NATURA 2000 Site/Important Bird Area of Cabrela, Portugal. O...
Conservation of Steppe Birds at Fine Scale: Does Plant Composition Matters for ...
Faria, Nuno; Rabaça, João E.; Morales, Manuel B.We investigated microhabitat of little bustard territorial males and females during the nesting and chick-rearing season focusing on plant composition. We searched for relationships between preferred vegetation and arthropod abundance in order to identify the contribution of different vegetation typologies in providing essential trophic resources for the species.
