Species‐Specific Responses of Farmland Birds to Overhead Powerlines
We assessed the displacement effects of powerlines on farmland breeding birds. No significant effects were detected on the overall bird breeding community. Species-specific negative impacts were iden...

O sisão do Quirguistão pode ajudar os nossos? Espera-se que sim
A Península Ibérica já foi o local com as maiores populações de sisão, mas agora estas estão concentradas sobretudo na Ásia Central. Dois investigadores portugueses foram ao Quirguistão dar uma ajuda.
