These behaviors vary along a continuum from “proactive” to “reactive” copers. Previous research defined different “copying styles” in distress behavior during the handling of birds. Some species nevertheless seem to thrive in the urban areas, probably associated with selection for phenotypes that match urban habitats. Hence, our preliminary results require careful interpretation, and further studies are needed to assess the exact magnitude by which different behavioural traits are inter-related.Įnvironmental change associated with urbanization is considered one of the major threats to biodiversity. Our results are in line with previous findings that several consistent behavioural traits measured during human handling could reflect individual specific antipredator strategy, but some confounding effects cannot be ruled out. However, the magnitude and direction of these relationships was inconsistent across seasons.
Furthermore, using multivariate linear models assessing a role of some potential predictors we found that a considerable amount of between-individual variation can be explained by sex and age differences and also by variation in body condition. breath rate covaried with the number of distress calls).
We found that these behaviours were consistently displayed within individuals (with repeatability varying between 0.44 and 0.82), and there was also some modest correlation between them (e.g. We assessed between-individual variations in breath rate, pecking rate and the number of distress calls displayed in response to handling, and also calculated the within-individual variation of these traits by repeated behavioural measurements. We performed a pilot study in both breeding and wintering populations of the Great Tit (Parus major), and we characterised three typical behavioural traits during a standard ringing procedure in captured birds.

Beatha teanga í a labhairt! (the life of a language is to speak it). Nobody’s perfect – I make mistakes all the time but I just speak away. “It’s about getting the language out there, using it, that’s how you learn. He said people worry about the grammar and about making mistakes but his advice to them is “nobody is going to eat you” for making mistakes. Having the confidence to speak Irish in public is “a big issue with people,” Ó Súilleabháin said. “A lot of young people are watching and I think it is important, when I have Irish and that it is such a large part of my life, that I do something to promote it and let people see it on the platform they are looking at.” “I’m lucky enough to have a good enough platform in the media at the moment,” he said. Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin, who goes by the name on social media platform Tiktok, said it was important to him to use the platform to promote Irish. It gave me a sense of pride of their Irish identity as well, so I just naturally wanted to learn the language.” My team-mates and my colleagues and friends speak Irish. “In 2022 in Ireland I think that it is really important that we celebrate the language as a platform to see difference and celebrate difference,” he said. He also said Irish could also be used as a platform to celebrate difference in Irish society. Speaking at the programme launch in Dublin on Tuesday, Cormac Ó hEadhra said it was “important to celebrate the language” and the communities that speak it. The ambassadors will promote the language over the course of the two-week Energia-sponsored festival which runs from March 1st to 17th and organisers estimate that this year’s festival will feature some 30,000 events. RTÉ Radio’s Cormac Ó hEadhra, Ireland women’s rugby international Sene Naoupu and Tiktok star Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin were named at an event in Dublin marking the launch of the festival which celebrates it’s 120th year this year. Three well-known figures from the world of radio broadcasting, rugby and social media have been named as ambassadors ahead of this year’s Seachtain na Gaeilge, Ireland’s annual festival celebrating the Irish language.
