Landscape -scale predictors of persistence of an urban stock dove Columba oenas population

Abstract: While a few species may thrive in urban areas, urban expansion is a major driver of biodiversity loss. Columbids such as feral Rock Doves (Columba livia domestica) and Common Woodpigeon (Columba palumbus) have adapted extremely well to the urban environment in Europe and beyond, but the Stock Dove (Columba oenas), a bird of farmland and woodland edge in the UK and of national conservation concern, is encountered infrequently in urban areas. Here we explore the multi-scale landscape associations of the little-s… Show more

“…Others believe that it is a bird of agricultural lands and forest edges and is rarely encountered in urban areas. However, in London, Stock Doves appear to be maintaining a healthy population in some parks because these large mature areas could provide more suitable habitat with more natural cavities in older trees (Richardson et al 2023). M. E. Bouhissi, H. A. Benhamou, A. Bekkouche, Y. Boulenouar, Z. Khacheb & A. Chedad In the breeding sites at Sidi Bel Abbès, we found several holes, especially in old holm oak trees; the majority are natural holes but are also probably dug by the Levaillant's Woodpecker (Picus vaillantii), because the latter is considered a nesting species in these regions.…”
