Résumé :
|
The Wryneck Jynx torquilla has undergone one of the largest bird species’ declines in Europe as a consequence of agricultural intensification; however, in some regions it still occurs in intensively managed permanent crops (e.g. vineyards). Considering the conservation status of the Wryneck and the increasing extent and intensification of permanent crops over Europe, investigating the habitat selection and use of nesting sites of this species in these ecosystems is urgently required. With this aim, we studied territory-scale habitat selection in a Wryneck population inhabiting a vineyard-dominated landscape without conservation measures for this species (e.g. nest box supplementation) in northeast Italy, and provide a preliminary assessment of its breeding biology. We evaluated the effect of land cover, management, and nest site availability on Wryneck occurrence in 44 territories and an equal number of control plots. In the year following this evaluation, Wryneck nests were surveyed in a subset of simple landscapes (
