title: Impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on capacity to monitor bird populations: a case study using the UK Breeding Bird Survey

description: COVID-19 restrictions significantly biased BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey coverage across the UK allowing indicative trends to be produced for approximately one-third of species in England only. To investigate the effect that COVID-19 restrictions had on participation in and coverage of the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), and to quantify the likely impacts on population change reporting based on 2020 data. We determined geographic, seasonal, and habitat coverage for the BBS in 2020 and compared this to previous years, and quantified the scale of biases and reductions in sample size for target species. We degraded existing BBS data (1994–2019) to simulate 2020 coverage and produced population change estimates using three methods applied to the complete and degraded data to assess the impacts of 2020 coverage on emergent trends. In 2020, 49% fewer survey squares were visited compared to 2019. Reductions were greatest in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and in the early breeding season, when 90% fewer visits were made. The few early visits completed were on atypical dates and showed marked habitat biases. Individual species were detected in 23–96% fewer squares than normal. Population change estimates derived using routine trend models were negatively biased in up to 96% of species, with errors greatest for species normally detected on early visits. Alternative trend models using visit-specific parameterization or focussing only on late season visits overcame coverage biases for some species. Lockdown restrictions associated with the COVID-19 outbreak meant it was not possible to produce population trend information for UK, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland in 2020. Indicative long-term trends could be produced in England only for a subset of about 40 species. We recommend managers of citizen science schemes undertake similar analyses to assess the scale of coverage biases when unforeseen events cause temporary, but substantial changes, in sampling effort.

title: Vocal behaviour of the Great Cormorant <i>Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis</i> during the breeding season

description: Great Cormorants <i>Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis</i> use vocal communication during the breeding season, with males being particularly vocal earlier in the breeding cycle and showing individual variation in some calls, which could be used for individual recognition. To identify and describe vocal behaviour of Great Cormorants, to link calls with observed behaviours and to explore if the calls had potential for individual recognition. We followed 21 nesting pairs of Great Cormorants by videoing and recording their vocal behaviour throughout the breeding season. We linked calls with observed behaviours, and measured the acoustic characteristics of the calls using signal analysis tools in Matlab. We identified and measured acoustic characteristics of six different call types: courtship, landing, nest building, nest relief, jumping, and chick begging calls. Five of these call types were linked to distinctive breeding behaviours. Vocal signalling occurred between the male and female, and between parents and offspring. Males showed higher vocal activity than females and used a larger repertoire of calls. The courtship call was the most common call type in both sexes. These calls also differed acoustically between the sexes; male calls were longer in duration than female calls (617 ms versus 323 ms) and had wider bandwidth (763 Hz versus 473 Hz). Great Cormorants use vocal communication for social interactions. Males were vocally more active and had a larger repertoire of calls than females, and calls differed between the sexes. Calls of males also differed individually and could, therefore, function for individual recognition in this species.
