Canary Islands Stonechat (Saxicola dacotiae) Science Article 2 abstract We investigate the degree of territory faithfulness of the Canary Islands stonechat Saxicola dacotiae, an endemic bird species of the semi-arid island of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain), and the spatial and temporal variability of habitat traits related to its breeding success over its whole distribution range. […]

Canary Islands Stonechat (Saxicola dacotiae) Science Article 1 abstract I report the first case of divorce for the Canary Islands Stonechat (Saxicola dacotiae), anendemic bird species of the semiarid island of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain). I studied 72 pairs during three breeding seasons (2000-2001, 2001-2002, and 2002-2003). Juan Carlos Illera, Wilson Bulletin 117(3):317-319, 2005 Download […]

Black-eared Wheatear (Oenanthe hispanica) Science Article 1 abstract Single burned areas contained 0 to 15 open-habitat species (mean = 7.6), and in all the areas combined there were 22 species, including 17 with an unfavourable conservation status in Europe. The most frequent were Carduelis cannabina, Lullula arborea, Alectoris rufa, Oenanthe hispanica and Emberiza cia, but […]

Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) Science Article 4 abstract It has long been hypothesized that birds learn to recognize heterospecific competitors and for that reason males behave more aggressivelyagainst intruders in areas of local sym- patry.Recently,ithasbeenconfirmedthatindividualsofonespeciesareabletolearnspe- cies-specific visual and acoustic characteristics of heterospecific rivals and that theyare able to remember these associations. Here, we test hypotheses […]

Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) Science Article 2 abstract I found a young cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) in the nest of the black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) in the viticultural area of Andra{evec (46 deg 00’N, 15 deg 57’E), in north-western Croatia, on June 15, 2004.

Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) Science Article 3 abstract We studied the effect of supplementary food on time allocation, breeding success and parental body condition in Black Redstarts Phoenicurus ochruros in the Alps, NW. Italy. Time budgets of both males and females were significantly affected: individuals provided with supplementary food spent less time foraging and more […]

Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) Science Article 1 abstract The bird genus Phoenicurus comprises 10 to 11 species that occur from Europe through Asia. To resolve theirphylogenetic relationships, their phylogeography and the tempo of their evolution, the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene wassequenced for 16 taxa. The Bayesian maximum likelihood tree and neighbor-joining dendrogram computed from the resultingdata […]
