Variability in the choice of reproductive sites of the Caserta area population of Roller Coracias garrulus and analysis of pressure at local scale

Abstract

The study outlines the density and distribution of the Rollers nesting in the province of Caserta. The focus is on the scarce fidelity in choosing the reproductive sites, categorizing the ruins where this species nests based on the fidelity of occupation and highlighting the numerous abandonments of the sites. The study reports the pressures (disturbing actions in progress) noted during the monitoring activities, concluding that the majority of the instances are due to direct anthropic causes.
