Sexual differences in the effect of previous breeding performance on nest-box reuse and mate retention in White-rumped Swallows ( Tachycineta leucorrhoa )
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-02)
In birds, the selection of nesting sites and mates has a profound influence on the daily interactions of individuals. Both behaviours are energetically costly and time-consuming and can strongly affect the Darwinian fitness ...
The design of artificial nestboxes for the study of secondary hole-nesting birds: A review of methodological inconsistencies and potential biases
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2010-04)
The widespread use of artificial nestboxes has led to significant advances in our knowledge of the ecology, behaviour and physiology of cavity nesting birds, especially small passerines. Nestboxes have made it easier to ...
Nest-box occupancy by neotropical raptors in a native forest of Central ArgentinaOcupación de cajas nido por rapaces neotropicales en un bosque nativo del centro de Argentina
(Raptor Research Foundation Inc, 2013-06)
Breeding populations of raptors are sometimes limited by nest-site availability and the use of nest boxes to bolster such populations is widespread. In the neotropical forest, little is known about the ecology of cavity-nesting ...
Comportamento da paca (Cuniculus paca) em criação comercial intensiva determinado por imagens de circuito fechado de TV e perfil de metabólitos de glicocorticóides fecais
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2018-02-08)
The agouti paca (Cuniculus paca) is little researched considering ethology and production. The objective of this study was to describe the main behaviors classified in groups as they happen in captivity by image analysis ...
Stand attributes and the abundance of secondary cavity-nesting birds in southern beech (Nothofagus) forests in south-central Chile
(2006)
The ecology of secondary cavity-nesting birds (SCN) has been a matter of great interest for many years throughout the world, in part because of the direct and strong relationship between the breeding biology of these species ...
Long-term dynamics of phenotype-dependent dispersal within a wild bird population
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2019-04)
Dispersers are not a random subset of the source population, and there is considerable evidence that they differ from non-dispersers in a number of phenotypic traits. However, it is not clear whether the magnitude and ...
Breeding biology of the Thorn-tailed Rayadito (Furnariidae) in south-temperate rainforests of Chile
(COOPER ORNITHOLOGICAL SOC, 2005-02)
We conducted a study of the breeding biology of the Thorn-tailed Rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda) in secondary forests on the continental island of Chiloe (42degreesS), southern Chile. Rayaditos are small insectivorous ...
Evidence for differential maternal allocation to eggs in relation to manipulated male attractiveness in the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)
(SPRINGER, 2006-10)
We present evidence of differential maternal allocation to eggs in response to manipulated male attractiveness in the migratory pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca). We manipulated the size of a male secondary sexual trait, ...
