Migratory double breeding in Neotropical migrant birds.
Neotropical migratory songbirds typically breed in temperate regions and then travel long distances to spend the majority of the annual cycle in tropical wintering areas. Using stable-isotope methodology, we provide quantitative evidence of dual breeding ranges for 5 species of Neotropical migrants. Each is well known to have a Neotropical winter range and a breeding range in the United States ...
متن کاملPoint Count Length and Detection of Forest Neotropical Migrant Birds
Comparisons of bird abundances among years or among habitats assume that the rates at which birds are detected and counted are constant within species. We use point count data collected in forests of the Mid-Atlantic states to estimate detection probabilities for Neotropical migrant bird species as a function of count length. For some species, significant differences existed among years or obse...
متن کاملSerological Monitoring of Avian Influenza in Migratory Birds of Iran
Although migratory waterfowl is well known to be a major reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), there are only few recently published reports about the seroprevalence of AIV in this group of birds. To investigate the AIV antibody status in migratory waterfowl of Iran, we collected 217 serum samples from 25 different species of waterfowl during 2003 and 2004. These serum samples were teste...
متن کاملLidar remote sensing variables predict breeding habitat of a Neotropical migrant bird.
A topic of recurring interest in ecological research is the degree to which vegetation structure influences the distribution and abundance of species. Here we test the applicability of remote sensing, particularly novel use of waveform lidar measurements, for quantifying the habitat heterogeneity of a contiguous northern hardwoods forest in the northeastern United States. We apply these results...
متن کاملMigratory Birds Make
sions about site settlement on both breeding and nonbreeding grounds. Each year a fraction of surviving individuals return to sites occupied in previous years. The accumulation of capture histories, and the widespread distribution of capture–recapture software to analyze such data (Lebreton et al. 1992) have lead to a proliferation of estimates of apparent annual survival rates for migratory bi...
