Ecology of Hole-nesting Woodland Birds
We are interested how individuals respond the changes in the environment. This Programme is based on blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) that use the ca. 500 nest boxes in the Atlantic oak woods around SCENE, where we also measure oak and caterpillar Phenology. This programme is in collaboration with Barbara Helm and Ross MacLeod.
