Species-Specific Effects of a Sound Prototype to Reduce Bird Use of Powerline P...
Ribeiro-Silva, Joana; Ribeiro, Helder; Mira, António; Sillero, NeftalíPowerlines pose a significant threat to many bird species, impacting their conservation. Current research focuses on developing methods to mitigate bird mortality due to electrocution and collisions with powerlines. In this study, we designed a sound prototype to be installed on infrastructure poles, including powerlines, aiming to reduce their use by birds. We conducted bird surveys over 47 days, from February...
Artificial permanent ponds are valuable for bats: a comparison with temporary p...
Ribeiro-Silva, Joana; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Mira, António; Marques, J. TiagoPonds are crucial habitats for bats in Mediterranean regions, providing significant sources of food and drinking water. However, the intensification of land use and the increase in arid landscapes are threatening these ecosystems, leading to a significant decline in water availability. Our aim is to assess the influence of biotic and abiotic pond features on bat communities, with a focus on the hydrological reg...
Effect of vineyard characteristics on the functional diversity of insectivorous...
Lourenço, Rui; Pereira, Pedro; Oliveira, Amália; Ribeiro-Silva, Joana; Figueiredo, Diogo; Rabaça, João; Mira, António; Tiago Marques, JoãoInsectivorous birds have a large potential to provide biocontrol services in vineyards, thus contributing to the sustainability of this agroecosystem. Bird communities are influenced by vineyard management practices and surrounding landscape, which may influence their role as ecosystem service providers. Functional diversity indices are indicators of bird community composition, and thus may reflect potential bi...
