Mortality of Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus chicks in wet grasslands: influence of predation and agriculture
No full textGrassland-breeding shorebirds show widespread declines due to a reduction in breeding productivity following agricultural intensification. However, there is also concern that increasing predation causes further declines or precludes population recovery. Predation may itself be enhanced by agriculture through changes in habitat or food availability, but little is known about the mortality of nidifugous shorebird chicks. We studied mortality by radio-tagging 662 chicks of Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus in 15 farmland sites in the Netherlands. Tagging and handling had no effect on the condition and survival of godwit chicks, but body condition was reduced by 6-11% in lapwing chicks wearing a tag for longer than 3 days. Fledging success was 0 - 24% in both species. Mortality was highest in young chicks but remained considerable until after fledging. Losses were traced mostly to predators (70 - 85%; 15 species, predominantly birds), but a! t least 5 - 10% were due to mowing, and 10 - 20% were due to other causes, including entrapment in ditches and starvation. Chicks staying in fields that were cut before the next radio check were found much more often as mowing victims and somewhat more often as prey remains than chicks in fields not cut, indicating that predation includes a limited amount of scavenging. The predation hazard for godwit chicks was higher in recently cut or grazed fields than in the tall, uncut grasslands they preferred, while that for lapwing chicks was lowest in grazed fields. In godwit chicks, poor body condition increased mortality risk, not only from starvation but also from other causes. Predation on godwit chicks was thus enhanced by intensive farming through a decline in the availability of cover, augmented by a reduced body condition, possibly due to food availability problems. Changes in farming practice may therefore help reduce predation pressure, though the observed interactions e! xplained only part of the high predation rate in godwits and n! one in l apwings. Predator abundance has increased in Dutch wet grassland regions, and chick predation has become a factor that should be considered in planning the type and location of conservation measures.
Bristol 1474: Particulars of account of Thomas Croft and John Langston, customers, 10 April 1474 to 29 September 1474
No full textDigitised Customs Account records relating to the Port of Bristol, April 1474 - September 1474 Transcription and translation, on an EXCEL spreadsheet, of the Exchequer ‘particular’ Controller's account for Bristol covering 10 April 1474 - 29 September 1474, based on TNA, E122/19/10A. The spreadsheet is accompanied by a 2,100 word introduction (pdf), which discusses the document as an object and the account of which it was a part. What the customs account reveals about Bristol's trade at the time is discussed, particularly in relation to the growth of Spanish trade. There is also the usual information about editorial practices adopted in the transcription of the account
