Abstract:
The symposium on the status of the House Sparrow "Passer domesticus", in the urban environment held during the 24th IOC aroused considerable interest. Following this it was agreed to set up a "working group" to foster exchange of ideas among researchers concerned with this problem that is of considerable biological significance. After the first meeting held in London 2007 (ISSP 31: 27-37), a second meeting was held in Newcastle. On the first day several talks were presented concerning the decline of the urban House Sparrow, the associated habitat and different monitoring techniques. ; On the second day a round table discussion was organized to recommend a general methodology for censusing, not only House Sparrows but also other members of the genus "Passer" that, in a least part of their ranges, occupy the urban environment: Spanish Sparrows "P. hispaniolensis", Italian Sparrows "P.italiae" and Tree Sparrows "P.montanus". A standard methodology would allow the comparison of different urban populations over the extensive ranges of the four species. Here we bring the abstracts of the talks given on the meeting. A protocol for censusing urban sparrows will be published later.
