Gender differences in birding specialization from 25 countries: Effects are large in skill/knowledge and minimal in commitment
This study investigates gender differences in birding specialization, a leisure activity characterized by three dimensions: skill/knowledge, behavior, and psychological commitment. We used data from a worldwide survey during December 19th 2020 and April 16th 2021 from 25 countries and psychometrically validated instruments. A total of 4006 people (2737 men, 1269 women; mean age 50.13 years, SD = 16.5) participated in the study. Meta-analytical to…
Urban landscape organization is associated with differences in avian-mediated regulating ecosystem services
Urban landscape organization affects avian-mediated regulating ecosystem services (RES). • Land-sharing provides more bird-mediated scavenging, seed dispersal and pest control. • There are seasonal differences in the provision of avian-mediated RES. • Green cover and fruit-bearing plants enhance the provision of avian-mediated RES. • Higher levels of built cover and pedestrians decrease several avian-mediated RES. Urbanization alters ecosystems t…
Regional-dependent tolerance to humans: A multi-country comparison of horizontal and vertical escape distance in arboreal squirrels
Tolerance to humans in Eurasian red squirrels was examined in three European countries and Japan. • Tolerance varied between four different countries. • Squirrels were less tolerant to humans when the trees and underbrush were taller in sites in the UK. • Squirrels were more tolerant when there was artificial feeding in Japan, while site-scale characteristics were not associated with tolerance in Germany and Finland. • Differences in human-squirr…
Covid-19 facial covering during outdoor recreation reflects historical disease prevalence and culture above and beyond governmental measures – A study in 53 countries
The COVID-19 pandemic severely influenced human behavior due to governmental restrictions. In addition to administrative restrictions, other factors, like historical disease prevalence and culture might impact on recent behavior. The parasite stress theory of values and sociality predicts an influence of historical diseases on human culture and may be of important influence on current human behavioral responses towards the pandemic. To address th…
Occupancy-frequency distribution of birds in land-sharing and -sparing urban landscapes in Europe
Species richness is a widely used proxy for patterns of biodiversity variation in metacommunities. However, deeper analyses require additional metrics, such as the occupancy-frequency distributions (SOFD) of different local communities. The SOFD patterns indicate the number of shared species between study sites; therefore, they can provide new insights into the current debate on how to create more biodiversity-friendly cities. Breeding birds were…
Birding recreation specialization – A test of the factorial invariance in eight languages
Birding specialization can be measured alongside a continuum from the beginner to the specialist. The structure of birding specialization has three dimensions: (1) skill/knowledge, (2) behavior, and (3) psychological commitment. We tested the factorial structure and factorial invariance of the birding specialization scale in traditional and simplified Chinese, Finnish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish birders. A total of 2,913 (32…
Sars-CoV2 (Covid-19) Pandemic Lockdown Influences Nature-Based Recreational Activity: The Case of Birders
The new corona virus infection SARS-CoV2 which was later renamed COVID-19 is a pandemic affecting public health. The fear and the constraints imposed to control the pandemic may correspondingly influence leisure activities, such as birding, which is the practice of observing birds based on visual and acoustic cues. Birders are people who carry out birding observations around the globe and contribute to the massive data collection in citizen scien…
