Insectivorous birds consume an estimated 400–500 million tons of prey annually
In this paper, we present an estimate of the predation impact of the global population of insectivorous birds based on 103 (for the most part) published studies of prey consumption (kg ha(−1) season(−1)) of insectivorous birds in seven biome types. By extrapolation—taking into account the global lan...
