Foraging efficiency of white stork Ciconia ciconia significantly increases in pastures containing cows

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Recent changes in agriculture have had a very strong impact on avian populations, but detailed mechanistic explanations are scarce. Some proposed solutions to avian declines can be complicated because responses are not linear. For example, abandoning pasture management can be detrimental to many open-nesting birds, but also to some others, because livestock perform ecosystem engineering, changing sward height and creating microhabitats for invertebrates, as well as for insectivorous mammals. Both these features affect the foraging efficiency of birds, for example white stork Ciconia ciconia. We studied the foraging activities of storks in the presence and absence of grazing cows, and we show that in extensive farmland in NE Poland, the presence of cows has a highly significant effect on stork foraging efficiency (in our study area mainly catching insects), which may be crucial to improving breeding success. Our results may also be important from a practical point of view. In white stork recovery proj
