Download or read book Habit Association of the Black shouldered Kite Elanus Caeruleus in Agroecosystems of Swaziland written by Katharine Anne Howard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decline in many African raptor populations may contribute to loss of ecosystem serves such as pest control. The Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus caeruleus) stands out as an exception, experiencing range expansions due to its proclivity for agricultural landscapes. I surveyed roads throughout Swaziland agroecosystems for Black-shouldered Kites and looked at habit selection in a used versus available framework. I found that kites selected for savannahs and tall herbaceous vegetation but did not show preferences for or against land use types. I also found a significant relationship with Black-shouldered Kite presence and low tree densities in the immediate vicinity of a perch site. I did observe kites in agricultural areas, as well as pairs of birds and fledglings, suggesting that although they are not selecting for agriculture in proportion to its availability, they are foraging in it. This may be a boon farmers who implement ecologically based rodent management programs.

This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kites are a group of birds in the family Accipitridae, which also includes hawks, eagles, and harriers. They are known for their long wings and forked tails, which give them a distinctive, graceful flight. There are many different species of kites, found all over the world. They come in a wide range of sizes, from the small Black Kite, which has a wingspan of around 3 feet, to the much larger White-tailed Kite, which can have a wingspan of up to 6 feet. Kites are typically diurnal birds, which means they are active during the day. They are opportunistic hunters and feed on a wide variety of prey, including insects, small mammals, reptiles, and other birds. Some species, such as the Black Kite, are also known to scavenge on carrion. Kites are typically found in open areas such as grasslands, savannas, and wetlands. Some species, such as the White-tailed Kite, are found in more wooded areas. In some cultures, kites are considered to be symbols of good luck and prosperity. They are also used in traditional medicine and in some African cultures are used in traditional ceremonies. Kites are not considered to be threatened or endangered as a group, but some individual species may be at risk due to habitat loss and other human activities.
