Dimitri Giunchi, Auteur ; Lorenzo Vanni, Auteur ; N. Emilio Baldaccini, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Francesca Biondi, AuteurMigratory birds use both geomagnetic and celestial cues to select and maintain their seasonally appropriate migratory direction. The integration of the different compass cues is still poorly understood. Previous cue-conflict experiments suggeste[...]

Ivan Maggini, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Christian C. Voigt, Auteur ; Andrea Ferri, Auteur ; Franz Bairlein, AuteurIn many species of migratory birds, individuals of different populations, sexes and age classes migrate at different times and manage their energy reserves according to their specific migratory strategies. In this study, we analyzed the migrator[...]

Lukas Jenni, Auteur ; Susanne Mueller, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Anders Kvist, Auteur ; Ake Lindstroem, AuteurThe effects of an endurance flight on the haematocrit, the percentage of packed red blood cells per blood volume, were examined within the framework of six possible factors explaining possible changes in the haematocrit. Two approaches were adop[...]

Michelangelo Morganti, Auteur ; Ugo Mellone, Auteur ; Giuseppe Bogliani, Auteur ; Nicola Saino, Auteur ; Andrea Ferri, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Diego Rubolini, AuteurDeparture and stopover decisions are crucial for a successful migration. Such decisions are modulated by a complex interplay between endogenous (physiological state) and external factors, such as weather (e. g. wind) and geography (ecological ba[...]
Article
Andrea Pilastro, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Pierfrancesco Micheloni, AuteurIn order to investigate pre-migratory strategies of Swallows in Italy, simultaneous ringing activities were carried on during three focal days (September 6-8, 1996) at 24 different roosts scattered across the Italian peninsula and main islands.

Article
Fernando Spina, AuteurEcological barriers represent a challenging and potentially risky component of migratory flyways. Complex patterns involve large arrays of species and huge numbers of birds in crossing deserts, mountain chains and large stretches of sea. Despite[...]

Jacopo G. Cecere, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Susanne Jenni-Eiermann, Auteur ; Luigi Boitani, AuteurNectar exploitation by European birds mainly refers to passerines feeding on exotic plants, although some recent studies described nectar-feeding by trans-Saharan passerines on local plants. We examined which birds and plants are involved in nec[...]

Jacopo G. Cecere, Auteur ; Laura Cornara, Auteur ; Serena Mezzetta, Auteur ; Andrea Ferri, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Luigi Boitani, AuteurAt stopovers sites in the Sahara and on Mediterranean islands, European warblers may feed on nectar. As a consequence of this behaviour the pollen of exploited plants often sticks on the birds' bill or plumage. We analyzed pollen samples carried[...]

Mattia Brambilla, Auteur ; Severino Vitulano, Auteur ; Andrea Ferri, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Elena Fabbri, Auteur ; Ettore Randi, AuteurGenetic markers are often used to trace the geographical origin of migrating birds. Such an approach has been used to attribute individuals of a given species to a given population, but it could also be applied to cryptic species, which are not [...]
Article
After a century of existence, scientific bird ringing is still a highly versatile and extremely useful research technique. It allows information on bird ecology and behaviour that is critical for conservation strategies to be gathered. EURING ha[...]

Mattia Brambilla, Auteur ; Severino Vitulano, Auteur ; Andrea Ferri, Auteur ; Fernando Spina, Auteur ; Elena Fabbri, Auteur ; Ettore Randi, AuteurDiagnosability is the ability to discriminate between similar taxa, including sibling or cryptic taxa. We have developed an explicit test of diagnosability, using the Sylvia cantillans species complex as a model, which compares an identification[...]
