Effects of Nestling Health on Postfledging Survival of Wood Storks
Little is known about the period between fledging and breeding in long-lived birds, including survival rates and factors affecting survival, yet this period may be critical to population regulation. We conducted health exams on 72 nestling Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) aged 4–6 weeks, and monitored survival of these birds via satellite telemetry for up to two years of age. Eighty-two percent...
متن کاملDiet explains interpopulation variation of plasma carotenoids and skin pigmentation in nestling white storks.
Carotenoids have a dietary origin in birds, but mechanisms by which they are absorbed in the gut, transported in the blood, metabolized at various sites, and deposited in the integument remain poorly understood. Variation in both plasma carotenoid levels and external color may reflect different access to dietary carotenoids or individual physiological differences in the uptake and deposition of...
متن کاملAge-related variation in the adrenocortical response to stress in nestling white storks (Ciconia ciconia) supports the developmental hypothesis.
The post-natal development of the adrenocortical response to stress was investigated in European white storks. Sixty wild nestlings aged 24-59 days old were subjected to a standardized capture and restraint protocol, and the time-course pattern of the response to stress was assessed through determination of circulating corticosterone in blood samples collected at five fixed times during the 45-...
متن کاملSkeletal pathology in white storks (Ciconia ciconia) associated with heavy metal contamination in southwestern Spain.
In 1998, a mine tailings dyke in southwestern Spain broke, flooding the Agrio-Guadiamar river system with acid tailings up to the borders of one of the largest breeding colonies of white storks in the western Palearctic, Dehesa de Abajo. Over the following years, a high proportion of nestlings developed leg defects, prompting this study. Ten fledglings with leg deformities from the spill area w...
