Niche structure was described in terms of the niche dimensions foraging substrate, foraging height and part of tree, and seasonal changes in niche breadth and overlap were examined. Considering the difficulties of dealing with the multidimensionality of Hutchinson's niche concept, we adopted a multivariate approach and identified the most important factors for spatial segregation. Significant differences between winter and spring utilisation of the foraging dimensions were found for the guild as a whole. At the species level, however, no major seasonal differences in the utilisation of foraging dimensions were found. No consistent seasonal trend occurred in terms of niche size or niche overlap. Multivariate analysis showed that the guild structure is basically the same in winter or spring, with Little influence of species that are present in only one of the two seasons. These results suggest that there is no food shortage in winter for the pariform guild in this woodland. The niche dimensions related with tree structure and foraging substrate appeared to be the most important ones in species segregation.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: C/O PAUL STARMANS, OUDE ARNHEMSEWEG 261, 3705 BD ZEIST, NETHERLANDS&lt;br/&gt;publisher: NEDERLANDSE ORNITHOLOGISCHE UNIE</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferns, Peter N.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feeding behaviour of autumn passage migrants in north east Portugal</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ringing &amp; Migration</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feeding activity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feeding habits (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">migration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">passerines</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1975</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1975///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03078698.1975.9673692</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3 - 11</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IN THE SUMMER and autumn of 1973, a mist netting site in the sparsely wooded hill country of north east Portugal was continuously manned by members of the Iberian Ringing Group. The main objective was to study the increases in weight of trans-Saharan passerine migrants which use this particular area as a staging post on their southward journey (Mead 1968). These migrants arrive on the central Iberian plateau towards the end of a long, dry summer, at a time when conditions appear relatively inhospitable. Yet Willow Warblers* and Pied Flycatchers gain over 0.2 g/day in weight, while Whitethroats increase by over 0.4 g/day (C. J. Mead and B. R. Watmough in prep.). Though this is somewhat less than, for example, the 0.6 g/day gained by Whitethroats at Lake Chad, Nigeria, in preparation for the return journey to the Palaearctic in spring (Fry. Ash and FergusonLees 1970), it still suggests that reasonable food supplies are available. In order to determine the nature of the foods being taken by these migrants, a series of observations were made during late August and early September 1973 in association with mist-netting activities.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/03078698.1975.9673692doi: 10.1080/03078698.1975.9673692The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Taylor &amp; Francis</style></notes></record></records></xml>
