Abstract:

It has been found that the starling, Sturnus vulgaris L., finds 93% of its food on open ground covered by a low vegetation. 80% of the prey are edaphic and epigeous forms, phytophageous and polyphageous and, in some periods, also coprophageous forms being the most abundant among them; they are either the dominant species or those occurring in groups. During its emergence in the spring the Colorado beetle population is being strongly reduced by the starling. The amount of vegetation eaten by the starling in the agrocenoses is of no economic importance.
