doi.org/10.1016/j.envp… 2/6 #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 Moors and Christians #festivals are very noisy recreational activities with the use of fireworks and powder guns.

1. ¡Hola! Para #Desgrana6 os voy a contar una breve historia sobre un pequeño #pájaro marrón que todos habéis visto en vuestra ciudad. Una pista: anda dando pequeños saltos entre los coches y se come los restos de pan que caen de las mesas de las terrazas. ¿Lo sabes? #HilosDC6 2.¡En efecto! Seguro que estabas pensando en el #gorrióncomún (Passer domesticus para los científicos). El gorrión es una de las aves que nos resultan más familiares, tal y como dice su nombre. Pero no todos saben que está desapareciendo de nuestro país ¡y de Europa entera!

1 #BOU18TC The #HouseSparrow disappears from rural and urban areas of #Europe. Cities like Prague, London (#RedList in 2002) & Valencia have experienced #urban #declines in their populations above 50%. What is happening in urban areas? #ornithology #urbanecology #urbanbirds 2 #BOU18TC Various potential causes for the urban #decline have been suggested. Our aim was to study if new #park policies linked to #urbanization and #reurbanization (new concept) could be a key factor for the urban decline of the #species. #ornithology #urbanecology #urbanbirds
