- * The SPI-Birds Network and Database was established to connect researchers and data on long-term studies of individually marked birds, currently housing data on nearly 1.5 million birds across 80 populations.
- * SPI-Birds promotes data sharing, prevents data loss, and enhances collaboration through community-developed standards and a decentralized approach that allows research groups to maintain control over their data.
The increase in size of human populations in urban and agricultural areas has resulted in considerable habitat conversion globally. Such anthropogenic areas have specific environmental characteristics, which influence the physiology, life history, and population dynamics of plants and animals. For example, the date of bud burst is advanced in urban compared to nearby natural areas.

- Nests are crucial structures created by parent birds to safeguard their eggs and young from threats and adverse environmental conditions, and nest construction occurs before egg-laying.
- This study analyzed data from 17,472 nests across 21 bird species to establish a significant positive correlation between clutch size (number of eggs) and nest size, noting this relationship holds true for both open and hole-nesting species.
- The research also revealed variation in the relationship between clutch size and nest size within and among species, indicating that providing different sizes of nest boxes could influence the reproductive decisions of hole-nesting birds.
