Breeding success of four titmice breeding in forests was investigated during 1962–2001. Three of them, Coal Tit Parus ater, Willow Tit Parus montanus and Marsh Tit Parus palustris have shown declining population trends in the annual monitoring of bird species in Sweden. The fourth species, the Crested Tit Parus cristatus, has shown a stable population size. Two of the declining species, Marsh Tit and Coal Tit, had the largest broods during the most recent decade and significantly positive trends in brood sizes during the investigated period, whereas the Willow Tit and Crested Tit had stable brood sizes. Our study indicates that the declines of the Coal Tit, Willow Tit and Marsh Tit populations in Sweden cannot be explained by changes in brood size, number of dead nestlings or number of un-hatched eggs. The stable population size of Crested Tit might be explained by its habit of breeding early in the season, which has become more pronounced during the most recent decades, probably in order to match breeding to the earlier spring arrival nowadays.

[Since the mid Fifties data have been published stating the presence of a Willow Tit population on the Central Apennines. The Authors, after controlling all available information and comparing them with the morphological and eco-ethological features of the species, hypothesize that all Willow Tit recorded observations relate instead to Marsh Tit, concluding that no Willow Tit populations were ever recorded in the area].   [Article in Italian]

This article focuses on the location of brown-headedtit (Parus montanus CONRAD VON BALDENSTEIN, 1827) on the territory southern Baikal region. The article presents literature data on the intra-landscape placement of chubby tit and gives a complete description of areas suitable for the habitat of these birds.

Results from the monitoring programs of the Swiss Ornithological Institute show that the breeding populations of several forest species for which deadwood is an important habitat element (black woodpecker, great spotted woodpecker, middle spotted woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker, three-toed woodpecker as well as crested tit, willow tit and Eurasian tree creeper) have increased in the period 1990 to 2008, although not to the same extent in all species. At the same time the white-backed woodpecker extended its range in eastern Switzerland. The Swiss National Forest Inventory shows an increase in the amount of deadwood in forests for the same period. For all the mentioned species, with the exception of green and middle spotted woodpecker, the growing availability of deadwood is likely to be the most important factor explaining this population increase.
