COOPERATIVE ROLES IN MIXED FLOCKS OF ANTWRENS (FORMICARIIDae)
Dot-winged Antwren (Microrhopias quixensis) Science Article 2 abstract Under certain conditions, flocking might enhance the foraging efficiencies of some or all the participating in- dividuals. For instance, individuals might capture insects flushed by other members of the flock (Swynnerton, 1915; Brosset, 1969), or flocks might exploit patches of abundant food more efficiently than solitary individuals […]
SEXUAL ROLES IN THE DOT-WINGED ANTWREN (MICRORHOPIAS QUIXENSIS), A TROPICAL FOREST PASSERINE
Dot-winged Antwren (Microrhopias quixensis) Science Article 1 abstract Dot-winged Antwrens maintain long-term pair bonds on year-long territories in tropical forests and woodland of Central and South America. Pairs partition breeding-related activities nearly equally. Like other antbirds (Formicariidae), both sexes incubate and brood. Both sexes participate equally in territorial maintenance behavior, which primarily involves active border […]
Territory characteristics and coexistence with heterospecificsin the Dartford warbler Sylvia undata acrossa habitat gradient
Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata) Science Article 2 abstract The study of successional gradients may help to understand the relative influence of habitat structure and competition on territory characteristics. Here, we evaluate the effects of vegetation cover, conspecific and heterospecific densities Pere Pons et al, Behav Ecol Sociobiol (2008) 62:1217-1228 Download article download full text (pdf)
Habitat type determines the effects of disturbance on the breeding productivity of the Dartford Warbler Sylvia undata
Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata) Science Article 1 abstract Numerous studies have examined the causes and impacts of human disturbance on birds, but little is known about how these impacts vary among habitats. This is of applied importance both for predicting bird responses to changes in disturbance and in planning how to reduce disturbance impacts. The […]

Nest-building by crested tit Parus cristatus males:an analysis of costs and benefits
Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus) Science Article 2 abstract In a population of crested tits in Belgium, one out of three breeding males participated in nest-building. Since variation in the amount of nest-building among 11 building males was low, analysis of male nest-building allowed a logistic regression design. The probability of building increased with male condition […]
Site condition monitoring of the breeding aggregation of crested tits (Parus cristatus) on the North Rothiemurchus Pinewood Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus) Science Article 1 abstract The North Rothiemurchus Pinewood SSSI includes the breeding aggregation of crested tits as one of itsdesignation criteria. BTO Scotland was commissioned by SNH to undertake a survey of crested tits withinthe designated area in March 2005 for site condition monitoring (SCM) reporting. A second objective wasto provide […]
Variations in plumage of male and female Pipra aureola
Crimson-hooded Manakin (Pipra aureola) Science Article 1 abstract Snow (Zoologica, 47: 195, 1962) states that female Golden-headed Manakins (Pipra erythrocephala) on Trinidad, West Indies, regularly have a few feathers characteristic of the male in the plumage of the head and body, and that, in birds trapped more than once,the number and distribution of these feathers […]
Annual survival rates of adult male Corsican Nuthatches Sitta whiteheadi
Corsican Nuthatch (Sitta whiteheadi) Science Article 1 abstract The endemic Corsican Nuthatch Sitta whiteheadi population is small and currently restricted to mountain forests of Corsican Pine Pinus nigra laricio. An estimate of annual survival rate is an important parameter to allow evaluation of extinction risk. Adult Corsican Nuthatches were colour-ringed and resighted on territory in […]
