Ellen Kraus Jun 23, 2017:
Just for any eventuality : Zönose in English : coenosis is, as I explained when posting my answer, derived from the Greek word
κοινός [koinos] which means "gemeinsam" here: living together in the same habitat.
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 23, 2017:
HOWEVER! The source text is plural anthropoceonosEs, and that's EO in ceonoses.
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 23, 2017:
thanks for the pdf Agnés From an ecological point of view, the city is
a special case of anthropoceonosis, +++an ecosystem
that is inhabited by the human population with
the environment transformed by humans for their
own needs.+++ It is a large concentration of people
along with specific architecture and infrastructure
that supports it, such as transportation and
information transmission, water supply, sewers,
etc. The city, of today is supplied with food by
plantations and farms; mines and forestry supply
it with materials and energy resources.
Demna Alfred Janelidze Jun 23, 2017:
Ellen Kraus provided the same answer, down below, I just checked. If that information is correct, then Anthropozönose in this context would mean bird/human cohabitation and how it affected the evolutionary pattern and feeding practices of the birds in question. All in all, since we all agreed that it was related to humans and their effect on birds, meaning-wise, it doesn't change the core idea.
Agnès Metanomski Jun 23, 2017:
Doesn't seem misspelled, and definitely refers to co-existence with humans. The exact definition is, according to Spektrum.de, "Anthropozönose, die direkt auf den Menschen bezogene Lebensgemeinschaft, die außer dem Menschen auch Haustiere, deren Parasiten sowie Zimmerpflanzen u.a. mit dem Menschen lebende Organismen einschließt." Not quite the same as "Anthropocene", as that is a geological term referring to an epoch.
Translation for "zönose" is "ceonosis", so I think the correct term could be "anthropoceonosis", even though it's hard to find (check http://bc.zcdn.edu.pl:8080/Content/1050/Refleksje_4_2013.pdf...
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 23, 2017:
Anthropocene as Demna suggested refers to the epoche we are now living in. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an adjectival form - unless you make one up, like the author did. Anthropocenal/Anthropocenic, which sounds like a nice view - which birds always provide :-), or a view of humanity, which is not so nice.
Demna Alfred Janelidze Jun 23, 2017:
Yes, this word is either misspelled or is an obscure alternative form of the corresponding established term.
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 23, 2017:
living in proximity to humans co-existing with humans

Something to that effect, I believe. But the hoity-toity term? No idea, can't turn up anything righteous.
Demna Alfred Janelidze Jun 23, 2017:
I think it doesn't relate to any diseases, Anthropogenic/Anthropocene doesn't mean that at all. I believe this article to be about the results/effects of the human activity on those birds' feeding practices.
Frances Bryce (asker) Jun 23, 2017:
A couple more examples.... Die unterschiedliche Stellung dieser beiden Arten in Anthropozönosen läßt sich vorteilhaft im Zuge von Vergleichen ihres Ernährungsregimes beleuchten.

Obwohl der Star bereits lange in Anthropozönosen lebt, ist es bei dieser Art erst in der neuesten Zeit zur intensiveren Nahrungsaufnahme der Produkte menschlicher Tätigkeit gekommen.

My first thought was "anthropocoenosis" but this relates to transmitted diseases which is not what this article is about at all

a biocoenosis for instance is a Lebensgemeinschaft
Eine Biozönose ist eine Gemeinschaft von Organismen verschiedener Arten in einem abgrenzbaren Lebensraum bzw. Standort. Biozönose und Biotop bilden zusammen das Ökosystem. Die Lebewesen einer Lebensgemeinschaft stehen untereinander in zahlreichen Wechselbeziehungen, werden von den abiotischen Umweltfaktoren beeinflusst und wirken auf diese wieder zurück

sorry for having posted a German link: here is the English one:
A biocenosis coined by Karl Möbius in 1877, describes the interacting organisms living together in a habitat (biotope). In the palaeontological literature, the term ...
Biocoenosis - Hypergé

Biocoenosis : the expression of "mutualism" in the biosphere. A biocoenosis can be defined as a community (the etymological meaning of the suffix –coenosis) ...

the word coenosis is derived from the Greek word for community.

another term for it could perhaps bee biospheric mutualism

Anthropogenic

I believe it's a misspelling of Anthropozän, Anthropozänos(en)
meaning anthropogenic.

or relating to the geological epoch of Anthropocene.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Ramey Rieger (X) : caused or produced by humans?//Antropocene may be an option, but anthropogenic I don't believe is one.

In what sense? The epoch is a result/side effect of human existence, I guess.
