Abstract

: Biological control of rodents by predation in agricultural ecosystems has been suggested for several decades as a sustainable alternative to the widespread use of anticoagulant rodenticides, due to the lower environmental impact of the former method. Cavity-nesting raptors can be considered optimal biological agents, as their abundances tend to increase rapidly through the installation of nest boxes, especially in agricultural environments where the availability of natural nesting cavities is often scarce. In this thesis, we evaluated the biological control on the Common Vole ( Microtus arvalis ), and the Mediterranean Pine Vole ( Microtus duodecimcostatus ), by favoring the presence of two predators (one generalist and the other specialist), with high mobility capacity: the Common Kestrel ( Fal-co tinnunculus ) and the Barn Owl ( Tyto alba ), in regions of the Iberian Peninsula where recurrent demographic explosions of voles associated with agricultural damage have been recorded. Biological control by predation can

西班牙鸟类学博士论文综述(2021-2022学年)

在农业生态系统中，由于前一种方法对环境的影响较小，通过捕食对啮齿动物进行生物控制几十年来一直被认为是广泛使用抗凝血灭鼠剂的可持续替代方法。洞穴筑巢猛禽可以被认为是最佳的生物制剂，因为它们的丰度往往通过安装巢箱而迅速增加，特别是在自然筑巢腔通常稀缺的农业环境中。在这篇论文中，我们评估了对普通田鼠(Microtus arvalis)和地中海松田鼠(Microtus duodecimcostatus)的生物控制，通过支持两种具有高移动能力的捕食者(一种是通才，另一种是专才)的存在:普通红隼(Fal-co tinnunculus)和仓鸮(Tyto alba)，在伊比利亚半岛地区，记录了与农业损害相关的田鼠的周期性人口爆炸。通过捕食的生物控制可以

期刊介绍： Ardeola: International Journal of Ornithology is the scientific journal of SEO/BirdLife, the Spanish Ornithological Society. The journal had a regional focus when it was first published, in 1954. Since then, and particular during the past two decades, the journal has expanded its thematic and geographical scope. It is now a fully international forum for research on all aspects of ornithology. We thus welcome studies within the fields of basic biology, ecology, behaviour, conservation and biogeography, especially those arising from hypothesis-based research. Although we have a long publication history of Mediterranean and Neotropical studies, we accept papers on investigations worldwide. Each volume of Ardeola has two parts, published annually in January and July. The main body of each issue comprises full-length original articles (Papersand Review articles) and shorter notes on methodology or stimulating findings (Short Communications). The publication language is English, with summaries, figure legends and table captions also in Spanish. Ardeolaalso publishes critical Book Reviewsand PhD-Dissertation Summaries; summarising ornithological theses defended in Spain. Finally there are two Spanish-language sections, Ornithological News; summarising significant recent observations of birds in Spain, and Observations of Rare Birds in Spain, the annual reports of the Spanish Rarities Committee.
