Microbes in tree swallow semen.
A frequently hypothesized but poorly studied cost of multiple mating in birds is that exposure to pathogenic sexually transmitted microbes (STM's) can lower reproductive success. Conversely, female birds may benefit from high frequencies of copulation and multiple copulation partners if they receive cloacal inoculations of beneficial STM's that can either protect them against future encounters ...
متن کاملTree swallow reproductive investment, stress, and parasites
We reduced or increased tree swallow, Tachycineta bicolor (Vieillot, 1808), clutch sizes by three eggs (50% of modal clutch size) to test experimentally for relationships between stress and parasite loads. In the first year of the study (1996), we enumerated two measures of stress (granulocyte to non-granulocyte ratios and heterophil to lymphocyte ratios), blood parasites, and ectoparasites liv...
متن کاملStatistical Inference on Tree Swallow Migrations, Using Random Forests
Species migratory patterns have typically been studied through individual observations and historical records. In this work, we adopt a data-driven approach to modelling the presence of the North American Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) throughout the eastern United States, using data collected through the eBird project at Cornell Universitys Lab of Ornithology. Preliminary models suggest a ...
متن کاملEnumerating alternating tree families
We study two enumeration problems for up-down alternating trees, i.e., rooted labelled trees T , where the labels v1, v2, v3, . . . on every path starting at the root of T satisfy v1 < v2 > v3 < v4 > · · · . First we consider various tree families of interest in combinatorics (such as unordered, ordered, d-ary and Motzkin trees) and study the number Tn of different up-down alternating labelled ...
