Retirement investment theory explains patterns in songbird nest-site choice.
When opposing evolutionary selection pressures act on a behavioural trait, the result is often stabilizing selection for an intermediate optimal phenotype, with deviations from the predicted optimum attributed to tracking a moving target, development of behavioural syndromes or shifts in riskiness over an individual's lifetime. We investigated nest-site choice by female golden-winged warblers, ...
متن کاملNest Bacterial Environment Affects Microbiome of Hoopoe Eggshells, but Not That of the Uropygial Secretion
The study of associations between symbiotic bacterial communities of hosts and those of surrounding environments would help to understand how bacterial assemblages are acquired, and how they are transmitted from one to another location (i.e. symbiotic bacteria acquisition by hosts). Hoopoes (Upupa epops) smear their eggshells with uropygial secretion (oily secretion produced in their uropygial ...
متن کاملOrigin matters: diversity affects the performance of alien invasive species but not of native species.
At local scales, it has often been found that invasibility decreases with increasing resident plant diversity. However, whether resident community diversity similarly resists invasion by alien versus native species is seldom studied. We examined this issue by invading constructed native plant assemblages that varied in species and functional richness with invasive alien or native Asteraceae spe...
متن کاملPROPOSAL OF A NEST BOX FOR THE REPRODUCTION OF WILD RABBITS (Oryctolagus cuniculus) IN CAGES
This paper reports on the design of a nest box consisting of two compartments for the breeding in cages of wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The first compartment was a chamber measuring on the inside 17 × 23 × 20 cm (base and height), conforming to the small body size of the wild rabbit and similar to its breeding burrows. A plastic tray was placed inside the chamber, in which the doe coul...
متن کاملMale bumblebees perform learning flights on leaving a flower but not when leaving their nest.
Female bees and wasps demonstrate, through their performance of elaborate learning flights, when and where they memorise features of a significant site. An important feature of these flights is that the insects look back to fixate the site that they are leaving. Females, which forage for nectar and pollen and return with it to the nest, execute learning flights on their initial departure from b...
