A lot of Bird species make certain journeys seasonal to find more favorable conditions to survive and to reproduce. The movements of the Shaft They can be studied in different ways.
Special In the spring and autumn, birds carry out migration routes to find better survival or reproduction conditions. To do this, they must organize the journey of thousands of individuals so that everyone will do it at certain times.
In the spring they usually migrate to breeding areas, where they find more foods and circumstances, ideal for their young. In the fall, They undertake the flight to warmer areas and avoid the winter in the regions where food is scarce.
Birdynchronization to organize migrations
And Study conducted in more than 990 ring stations in Europe has shown that birds among them synchronize to organize migrations, A behavior that is observed in groups of different ages and species.
In this study, the scientific ringing of the Laguna de Fuente del Rey, in DOS Hermanas (Sevilla), is managed for more than six years by volunteers who have closely followed how the Productivity and survival of birds influence their large -scale population fluctuations.
The city hall of the city has stated in a statement that this work shows that the constant monitoring of parameters such as such as such as The number of adults and youth who have been trapped and recaptured over the years enables you to identify common patterns or “synchronization” in bird populations, Even between species with different migration habits.
It is Knowledge is of fundamental importance, not only to retain species in decline, but also to anticipate the effects of climate change and other changes in the environment. According to experts, the highlight is that the Ring not only enables us to understand what is happening in this lagoon, “but also offers essential pieces to complete the puzzle of how the populations of Shaft On a continental scale ».
From the Urban Station in Fuente del Rey has contributed “rigorous and scientifically validated data” that has been the key to this progress, published in the magazine Ecology Letters. This international recognition is a sample of the “voluntary effort and dedication to civil science”, in addition to value the ecological role of urban wetlands such as the Laguna de Fuente del Rey. ” EFE / ECOTICIA.COM
