Biometrics, ageing, sexing and moult of the Blue Chaffinch Fringilla teydea teydea on Tenerife (Canary Islands)

Blue Chaffinch (Fringilla teydea) Science Article 1 abstract The Blue Chaffinch Fringilla teydea is one of a few Palearctic species for which biometric data are lacking from the field; we address this issue here. Blue Chaffinches were caught by mist net, at ten sites on Tenerife (Canary Islands), and measured. Data on biometrics and moult […]

Density estimates, microhabitat selection and foraging behaviour of the endemic Blue Chaffinch Fringilla teydea teydea on Tenerife (Canary Islands)

Blue Chaffinch (Fringilla teydea) Science Article 2 abstract Point counts were used for censusing birds. Data were analysed with the DISTANCE software programs using an average detectability function. Microhabitat structure was characterized by measuring 11 variables in a 25m radius at each point. We used Poisson regression models to predict counts for Blue Chaffinch from […]
