COLOURATION AND BIOMETRY OF THE BLACK-EARED WHEATEAR Oenanthe hispanica FROM THE EASTERN ADRIATIC COAST Obojenost i biometrija istočnojadranske populacije primorske bjeloguze Oenante hispanica
Museum skins of the Black-eared Wheatear Oenante hispanica from the eastern Adriatic coast were examined in order to identify subspecies. All 91 examined skins belong to O. h. melanoleuca. Wing lengths (88-96 mm in adult males, 87-93.5 mm in 2nd year males and 84-92 mm in females) are among the longest for this species. The proportion of the black-throated morph was 56.5% in males and 40.9% in ...
متن کاملInnate Sex Differences in the Timing of Spring Migration in a Songbird
In migrating animals protandry is the phenomenon whereby males of a species arrive at the breeding grounds earlier than females. In the present study we investigated the proximate causes of protandry in a migratory songbird, the northern wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe. Previous experiments with caged birds revealed that males and females show differentiated photoperiod-induced migratory habits. How...
متن کاملSynanthropy and Temporal Variability of Calliphoridae Living in Cosenza (Calabria, Southern Italy)
The aim of this study was to investigate the synanthropy of Diptera: Calliphoridae, insects of forensic importance, in Calabria (southern Italy). The study lasted 2 years, from February 2010 to January 2012, and was carried out in three areas of Cosenza province representing "urban", "rural", and "wild" environments.

متن کاملThe functional significance of sexual display: stone carrying in the black wheatear
Male black wheatears, Oenanthe leucura, carry on average almost 2 kg of stones to cavities inside caves before each clutch is laid. This costly behaviour may play a role in post-mating sexual selection, if females adjust their reproduction to the amount of stones carried by their mates, an hypothesis tested in two field experiments. First, breeding sites with many new stones also contained many...
