The “Nouveau recueil de planches coloriées” of Temminck & Laugier (1820-1839) contains many descriptions of new birds and is of fundamental importance to the history of ornithology. A new detailed review of the evidence presented by the book itself has brought clarity to the relationships between the plates and the livraisons2 of which they were a...
SYNOPSIS The survey of bird fauna of Matka Canyon (river Treska, northern Macedonia) was done in the period from 1996 to 2008. In total, 112 bid species were recorded, one of which (the Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus) is globally threatened. Sixteen species are included in the Annex I of the Bird Directive and listed on the Resolution 6 of...

This paper provides the fourth edition of the checklist of birds recorded in northwestern Italy (the Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions) and covers more than 300 years of ornithological data, including subspecies. This work updates the previous works published in 1981, 2003, and 2009, with the revision of the AERC codes and the addition of special annotations for several species. We also provide some new settings to make the bird checklist a more useful tool for all users, particularly scholars and professionals interested in biodiversity assessment and conservation reports. To this end, (a) new coding concerning population estimates and trends, as well as risk categories (Red List), is introduced; (b) bird lists are structured for analysis at two temporal levels: the General Checklist (GCL), covering the period from 1685 to 2022, and the Operational Checklist (OCL), covering the decade 2010–2019, providing periods of reference for comparison and analysis; and (c) an electronic spreadsheet is provided as part of the online Supplementary Materials to allow for further data analysis by readers, if necessary. The list presently contains 408 species and 444 taxonomic units, which consist of both subspecies and monotypic species. Each of them has been allocated to one of the AERC categories A, B, C, or D, while category E has been excluded. Since the publication of the previous list (2009), 19 species have been added. The avifauna currently breeding in the Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions comprises 197 species, with an additional 9 species that were once breeders but are now considered regionally extinct.

L'avifauna della riserva del Meisino e Isolone Bertolla a Torino (Piemonte)

This study summarizes for the first time the knowledge on birds of the morainic hills of Rivoli-Avigliana (Torino, North-West Italy) relying on mostly unpublished data.
The study area shows a hilly morphology and a land cover characterized mainly by deciduous forest, farmland (partially cultivated extensively) and a good percentage of urbanized territory.
Data for this study were collected over a wide time span, between 1979 and 2011, although only since 2001 standard census methodologies were adopted. In the previous period only few detailed available data were considered. Between 2005 and 2008, an intensive cartography effort at 1 km-scale (37 sampling units considered) was also undertaken, with the aim of identify the distribution range of all of the species present in the study area during the year (subdivided into four phenological seasons). Surveys included also: nocturnal species census and fixed point counts for migratory birds (mainly raptors and passerines) during autumn migration.
707 field surveys were carried out between 2001 and 2011 and a total of 31804 records were gathered in a database for the analysis.
Overall, 159 species (41% of those present in Piedmont) were found, including 77 nesting, 85 wintering, 110 migratory, 21 vagrant and 2 of domestic origin certain or probable. One-third of them are considered species of conservation concern at the European level (Annex I “Birds” Directive; SPEC 1-3). About 60% of records refer to the most 20 more observed species.
A short report discussing in details phenology, distribution and habitat preferences was also given for all the species occurring in the study area. Counts of breeding pairs, population estimates, data on higher counts and unusual observations were provided if available.
In the study area the main threats to birds are represented by agriculture intensification and urbanisation; consequently relevant conservation issues are discussed in the text and simple management guidelines for species’ conservation were suggested.
We sampled the bird community of hedges and tree rows along the waterways of a portion of the western Po plain with a surface of about 320 Kmq. Maize fields cover more than 60% of the agricultural surface crossed by many natural and artificial waterways both in the “Piana di Carmagnola” (a flood plain at 235-240 m asl) and in the “Pianalto di Poirino” (a lower plateau at 255-265 m asl). The observations were collected by transect counts during the months of May and June 2009, and expressed as IKA. We detected 45 species and Nightingale, Blackcap and Blackbird were the most abundant of the 34 breeding species that include 2 SPEC 2 (Red Backed Shrike and Turtle Dove) and one SPEC 3 (Green Woodpecker). The low numbers of Tits population and the absence of Wren may be partly due to the effects of the previous hard winters. Hedges in the floodplains were richer than those in the lower plateau and have more bush-nesting birds and more trans-Saharan migrants. The Nightingale population in the hedges of the whole area can be estimated at about 1200 pairs. The research confirmed the importance of the presence of hedges and tree rows within the intensively cultivated plain, which allow a number of species of birds to settle and nest in an area otherwise extremely and increasingly trivialized by monocultures and commercial and industrial settlements.
Importance of the arboreal-shrubby hedges as habitat for birds in an
intensive farming area of the Turin-Cuneo plain (NW Italy) -
We sampled the bird community of hedges and tree rows along the waterways of a
portion of the western Po plain with a surface of about 320 Kmq. Maize fields cover more
than 60% of the agricultural surface crossed by many natural and artificial waterways
both in the “Piana di Carmagnola” (a flood plain at 235-240 m asl) and in the “Pianalto
di Poirino” (a lower plateau at 255-265 m asl). The observations were collected by transect
counts during the months of May and June 2009, and expressed as IKA. We detected
45 species and Nightingale, Blackcap and Blackbird were the most abundant of the
34 breeding species that include 2 SPEC 2 (Red Backed Shrike and Turtle Dove) and oneSPEC 3 (Green Woodpecker). The low numbers of Tits population and the absence of
Wren may be partly due to the effects of the previous hard winters. Hedges in the floodplains
