Drifting space use of common cranes—Is there a mismatch between daytime behaviour and management?
2018, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :During migration, large grazing birds exhibit site fidelity at several spatial scales: from staging sites along the flyways to specific agricultural fields within staging sites (Fox et al., 2002; Johnson, 1980; Phillips et al., 2003). At staging sites, large grazing birds are gregarious and forage mainly on crop fields during daytime and repeatedly return to wetland roost sites at night (Bautista et al., 1995; McIvor and Conover, 1994). Staging and roost sites often coincide with internationally important and protected wetlands (Kleijn et al., 2014; Vegvari and Tar, 2002).
Large grazing birds and agriculture-predicting field use of common cranes and implications for crop damage prevention
2016, Agriculture, Ecosystems and EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :In this study, we investigated the predictability of finding common cranes G. grus on arable fields at a staging site connected to an important wetland reserve. Common cranes are a suitable model species as, like other large grazing species they cause significant damage to crops, incurring considerable costs to society through loss of agricultural production and increasing compensation payments (Borad et al., 2001; Bouffard et al., 2005; McIvor and Conover, 1994). Moreover, this is not a local challenge as cranes are known to cause crop damage along their European flyways (Le Roy, 2010; Nowald, 2010).
