A simulation model of the effect of mowing of agricultural grassland on the breeding success of the corncrake (Crex crex)
- R. Green, G. A. Tyler, T. J. Stowe, A. V. Newton
- Biology
- 1 September 1997
The corncrake has been declining in numbers and distribution in Britain for more than 100 years. Meadows mowed for hay or silage are the most frequent habitat and nests and broods placed there are… Expand
Nesting habitat selection by bitterns Botaurus stellaris in Britain and the implications for wetland management
- G. Gilbert, G. A. Tyler, C. Dunn, K. Smith
- Geography
- 1 August 2005
Abstract The rarity and decline of the bittern Botaurus stellaris in Britain has prompted large-scale wetland restoration and more recently, wetland creation projects. In order to guide such habitat… Expand
