Pomen in vplivi vran, s poudarkom na sivi vrani (Corvus cornix), v (sub)urbanem okolju

In recent decades, the increase in number of crows, particularly the hooded crow (Corvus cornix), in the (sub)urban environment has resulted in the ever-increasing conflicts with humans. Consequently, this has resulted in growing demands for solving problems with crows and for significant r...
