Eggsamlinger, rovfugler og miljøgifter
Lislevand, Terje (Årbok for Universitetsmuseet i Bergen;26, Chapter, 2021-12)At hunner legger egg, er vanlig i mange dyregrupper, men fuglene er unike ved at de beskytter innholdet i egget med et hardt, kalkrikt skall. Dette skallet er fra naturens side særdeles variabelt mellom arter, både i ... -
First records of complete annual cycles in water rails Rallus aquaticus show evidence of itinerant breeding and a complex migration system
Lislevand, Terje; Hahn, Steffen; Rislaa, Sven; Briedis, Martins (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In water rails Rallus aquaticus, northern and eastern populations are migratory while southern and western populations are sedentary. Few details are known about the annual cycle of this elusive species. We studied movements ... -
Limited male incubation ability and the evolution of egg size in shorebirds
Lislevand, Terje; Thomas, Gavin H. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-06-22)In bird species where males incubate but are smaller than females, egg size may be constrained by male body size, and hence ability to incubate the eggs. Using data from 71 such shorebird species, we show that egg size ... -
Nest distribution and nest habitat of the Tibetan Partridge ( Perdix hodgsoniae ) near Lhasa, Tibet
Dorge, Tsering; Högstedt, Göran; Lislevand, Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)Background: Little is hitherto known about the breeding ecology of the Tibetan Partridge (Perdix hodgsoniae) which is endemic to the Tibetan plateau. Here we describe nest densities, inter-nest distances and general nest ... -

Red-spotted Bluethroats Luscinia s. svecica migrate along the Indo-European flyway: a geolocator study
Lislevand, Terje; Chutny, Bohumir; Byrkjedal, Ingvar; Pavel, Vaclav; Briedis, Martins; Adamik, Peter; Hahn, Steffen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-11)Capsule Red-spotted Bluethroats Luscinia s. svecica from two European breeding populations spent the boreal winter on the Indian sub-continent. Aim Tracking the migration of Red-spotted Bluethroats from Europe to the ... -
Skipping-type migration in a small Arctic wader, the Temminck's stint Calidris temminckii
Lislevand, Terje; Hahn, Steffen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03)By using morphometric data and geolocator tracking we investigated fuel loads and spatio-temporal patterns of migration and non-breeding in Temminck's stints Calidris temminckii. Body masses in stints captured at autumn ...
