In contrast to selective pressures influencing infanticide in other species, egg destruction in birds is thought to primarily represent interference competition for food, nest sites or predator-free nesting space. In the case of the great reed warbler, two opposing hypotheses exist for the explanation of its egg destruction behaviour. Our study tested these hypotheses separately by manipulating the presence of real conspecific, familiar and unfamiliar eggs and nests inside polygynous and monogamous great reed warbler territories. Out of 147 experimental nests placed in the vicinity of 49 active great reed warbler nests, only conspecific eggs were preyed upon by great reed warblers. Furthermore, significantly more great reed warbler nests were destroyed in polygynous than monogamous territories. These results support the hypothesis that egg destruction behaviour in this species is motivated intraspecifically and most probably intrasexually."],["dc.identifier.fs","572531"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7277"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61312"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","Infanticide or interference : Does the great reed warbler selectively destroy eggs?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Their diversity has been decreasing in Europe due to habitat degradation, fragmentation, management changes and climate change. The False Ringlet (Coenonympha oedippus) is one of the 59 butterfl y species protected in Hungary. The species occupies marshy meadows dominated by Molinietum vegetation. Besides drainage, inappropriate management can also deteriorate these habitats. Nowadays the butterfl y remains present in a habitat complex in Hungary, at the north-western part of the Hungarian Great Plain and a newly (2009) rediscovered population in north-western Hungary. Mark– release–recapture method was used to estimate the population size and describe population structure in a 0.65 ha habitat patch from 2005 to 2007. The population size did not fl uctuate during the 3 years; the total estimated number of individuals ranged between 130 and 270. The survival probability was 0.81–0.84/day in the case of males, in females 0.70–0.89/day. The catchability was between 0.27–0.53 in males and 0.22–0.38 in females. The structure of the population indicates that the False Ringlet is a sedentary butterfl y species, with low dispersal ability. In the study area, drainage seems to be the main threatening factor for its habitat. The studied population has recently moved to neighbouring lower parts of the habitat patch, because the formerly occupied part of the habitat patch had been desiccated and the vegetation had been changed. For the long-term survival of the species at this habitat patch the drainage should be inhibited, while in other habitat patches around, the control of invasive plant species is inevitable beside habitat restoration."],["dc.identifier.fs","576501"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7416"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61318"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","Structure and size of a threatened population of the False Ringlet Coenonympha oedippus (Fabricius, 1787) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in Hungary"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we investigated if region, cattle grazing intensity, habitat edges and vegetation structure around artificial nests influence predation, the major cause of broods’ loss. We placed artificial open ground nests (N = 304) resembling the nests of Skylark (Alauda arvensis), baited by one plasticine and one Quail egg in inside and edge habitats of extensively and intensively grazed grasslands in three regions in Hungary in 2003. Interestingly, none of the three factors (region, grazing intensity, edge effect) had significant effects on brood loss according to the generalised linear mixed model, however, interactions between region and management and among region, management and edge effect were significant. This suggests that the effect of management is not the same in different regions, and edge effect depends on both region and management. We also found that nest predation rate is lower if nests are placed in tall grass and greater vegetation cover. This pattern indirectly supports the negative effects of intensive grazing, which can remove most of the vegetation. Therefore, we suggest that extensive grazing should be favoured to conserve ground nesting birds, however, it is essential to avoid duplicating management regimes from one region to another, due to regional differences in the pattern of survival probability."],["dc.identifier.fs","580775"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7787"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61370"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRAZING INTENSITY, VEGETATION STRUCTURE AND SURVIVAL OF NESTS IN SEMI-NATURAL GRASSLANDS"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Landscape fragmentation may reduce herbivory directly (i.e., decreasing abundance and species richness of herbivores), but also indirectly increase herbivory (i.e., releasing herbivores from top-down control). At a local scale, reduced plant diversity may enhance herbivory through lessened associated resistance, while resource availability (i.e., higher vegetation height and cover) may promote herbivory. Few studies have simultaneously considered the influence of local and landscape variables on insect herbivory. We evaluate effects of landscape (fragment size, connectivity, and arable land percentage) and local factors (plant cover and height and plant species richness) on insect herbivory in fragmented calcareous grasslands. Further, we ask whether these effects depend on feeding traits of herbivores (chewers vs. suckers) and habitat specialization of plants (specialists vs. generalists). Results show that herbivory was best explained by models including variables at both local and landscape scales. However, local factors were more important than landscape variables. Herbivory was in all cases positively related to height of herbs (i.e., taller and more heterogeneous food resources), whereas the effect of plant species richness varied with feeding traits of herbivores. Herbivory by chewers, which are commonly more generalist feeders, was negatively affected by plant species richness, supporting the idea of associated plant resistance. In contrast, herbivory by suckers, which tend to be more specialized, increased with plant richness. Although there was little influence of landscape scale, herbivory on specialist plants was significantly higher in smaller grasslands probably as a consequence of herbivore release from natural enemies. Functional redundancy among herbivore species would allow to maintain overall herbivory in fragmented calcareous grasslands. This study highlights the need to consider different herbivore and plant traits for a better understanding of herbivory responses to local and landscape factors."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ecs2.2717"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16111"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59933"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.rights","CC BY 3.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","Insect and plant traits drive local and landscape effects on herbivory in grassland fragments"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Two patch level variables were considered: habitat type (black locust plantation, clearing and hummock) and food-plant patch size. We measured several plant variables at the egg-bearing shoots. We counted the number and measured the mean height of birthworts within the microenvironment of the egg-bearing shoots. We also measured the height and counted the leaves of each egg-bearing shoot itself. Plant apparency was defined as the height difference between egg-bearing shoots and the surrounding ones. Two variables were measured on the egg-bearing shoots (hence at food-plant scale): number of leaves and position of eggs on the leaf-storeys. Habitat type affected the distribution of eggs; black locust plantations and hummocks were preferred against clearings. At a smaller scale, neither shoot density, nor food-plant apparency affected egg distribution. At the plant level, the number of eggs increased with the number of leaves, and the position of eggs also co-varied with egg density, having fewer eggs in clusters positioned higher on shoots. We conclude that spatially correlated data on butterfly egg distribution should be analysed considering the intrinsically hierarchical structure of environmental factors."],["dc.identifier.fs","310280"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7786"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61369"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","EGG DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOUTHERN FESTOON (ZERYNTHIA POLYXENA) (LEPIDOPTERA, PAPILIONIDAE)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
