Seed Preferences of Wintering Henslow’s Sparrows
The Henslow’s Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii), a species of conservation concern, winters primarily in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forest ecosystems in the southeastern U.S. These pine savannas have been reduced to 5% of their former range, with remaining patches requiring active management with fire to maintain characteristic structure and plant diversity. Wintering Henslow’s Sparrow abunda...
متن کاملAnnual Survival Rates of Wintering Sparrows: Assessing Demographic Consequences of Migration
—The demographic consequences of migration have important implications for both evolutionary ecology and conservation biology. We investigated local survival rates for six populations of sparrows at a wintering site. Recent developments in mark–recapture statistics were applied to a 13 year dataset with large numbers of marked individuals (n 5 1,632 to 4,394). The study taxa were closely relate...
متن کاملSexual preferences for mate song types in female song sparrows
Copulation solicitation displays were used to investigate whether female song sparrows are especially stimulated by the songs their mates sing. Eight of nine (88.9%) recently captured oestradioltreated female song sparrows, Melospiza melodia, gave more solicitation displays and displayed more intensely for song types recorded from repertoires of their mates than for songs from other males from ...
متن کاملAcross-year social stability shapes network structure in wintering migrant sparrows.
Migratory birds often form flocks on their wintering grounds, but important details of social structure such as the patterns of association between individuals are virtually unknown. We analysed networks of co-membership in short-term flocks for wintering golden-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia atricapilla) across three years and discovered social complexity unsuspected for migratory songbirds. Th...
متن کاملSocial network structure in wintering golden-crowned sparrows is not correlated with kinship.
Stable social organization in a wide variety of organisms has been linked to kinship, which can minimize conflict due to the indirect fitness benefits from cooperating with relatives. In birds, kin selection has been mostly studied in the context of reproduction or in species that are social year round. Many birds however are migratory, and the role of kinship in the winter societies of these s...
