Unusual Barn Swallow Nest Placement in Southeastern Oregon
—Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) historically nested along cliffs, in caves, and in other natural situations. Currently, nearly all reported nests of this species are on walls and beams of bridges, buildings, and other human-derived structures. Both natural and man-made nest sites typically share one thing in common: a horizontal surface for nest attachment. We describe a Barn Swallow nest that...
متن کاملNest building is a sexually selected behaviour in the barn swallow.
Females may use male nest building to assess male parental quality, and nest size would then be a sexually selected trait.

Kin selection theory predicts that offspring behave more selfishly in monopolizing parental care as relatedness with competitors declines. We cross-fostered two eggs between barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) clutches and compared the loudness of begging between...
