THE FORMATION OF FAUNA OF CORVIDS IN URBANIZED LANDSCAPES OF MESCHIORSKAYA LOWLAND [ON THE EXAMPLE OF JACKDAWS (CORVUS MONEDULA)]
Monitoring researches of jackdaw (Corvus monedula) size evolution are made by the authors of the article. The article presents the study of spatial distribution of birds within the out of nest period, as well as the ways to make the species sinanthropic. Observations were made in towns and cities of Meschorsk lowland. The authors analyzed literary sources containing the data on jackdaw population density in the towns of the Russian Federation. It was ascertained that jackdaws prefer the most urbanized territories. The data received can be used as a basis for biological monitoring of synanthropic bird species in the urbanized landscapes.
