The influence of the habitat on the population dynamics of the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio. – Over a period of twenty years, 302 territories of Red-backed Shrikes were identified and described, in 291 of which breeding was confirmed. Over time land use in the study has changed, with an increase of oil-seed rape and a decrease of cereals and maize. 84 % of the territories contained hedges or small patches of thorn bushes. 80 % of territories were facing south or east, 60 % contained patches of steep slope. The shrub layer contained 58 bush and tree species but only 16 occurred with a frequency of >10 % and four thorny species dominated, occurring in >70 % of the territories. Territories contained a mean of 7.4 bush and tree species. 92 % of territories contained dominant lookout posts. The percentage of open ground or sparse vegetation was low. Cereals, permanent pasture and intensive meadows were the land-use types most frequently associated with territories (with or without reproduction). Probability of reproduction was highest where two types of crops were present: rape-maize, pasture-rape, pasture-maize, pasture-cereals. Pastures were over-represented in low-altitude territories but not in the densely occupied foothills of the Jura. There was no significant correlation between population density and the occurrence of the six main crops. In 20 % of territories reproduction was confirmed only once in 20 years, in 56 % four or more times. 62 territories were occupied in more than ten years. The proportion of suitable territories continues to decline, posing a threat to the long-term survival of the population.
