To date, most studies of nest site selection have failed to take into account more than one source of nest loss (or have combined
all sources in one analysis) when examining nest site characteristics, leaving us with an incomplete understanding of the
potential trade-offs that individuals may face when selecting a nest site. Our objectives were to determine whether northern
flickers (Colaptes auratus) may experience a trade-off in nest site selection in response to mammalian nest predation and nest loss to a cavity nest
competitor (European starling, Sturnus vulgaris). We also document within-season temporal patterns of these two sources of nest loss with the hypothesis that flickers may
also be constrained in the timing of reproduction under both predatory and competitive influence. Mammalian predators frequently
depredated flicker nests that were: lower to the ground, less concealed by vegetation around the cavity entrance and at the
base of the nest tree, closer to coniferous forest edges and in forest clumps with a high percentage of conifer content. Proximity
to coniferous edges or coniferous trees increased the probability of nest predation, but nests near conifers were less likely
to be lost to starlings. Flickers may thus face a trade-off in nest site selection with respect to safety from predators or
competitors. Models suggested that peaks of nest predation and nest loss to eviction occurred at the same time, although a
competing model suggested that the peak of nest loss to starlings occurred 5 days earlier than the peak of mammalian predation.
Differences in peaks of mammalian predation and loss to starlings may constrain any adjustment in clutch initiation date by
flickers to avoid one source of nest loss. 相似文献

We studied intraspecific nest parasitism in the grey starling (Sturnus cineraceus) in 1992 and 1993. We used three criteria to detect nest parasitism: (i) the appearance of more than one egg per day while
the host was laying; (ii) the appearance of extra eggs after the host completed its clutch; and (iii) the appearance of eggs
which were of a different shape, size and color to other eggs in the clutch. There were 290 nests (157 nests in 1992; 133
nests in 1993) in which the clutch was completed early (clutches initiated before May 10). Twenty-nine (1992) and 32 (1993)
nests contained at least one parasitic egg. Parasitic eggs hatched if they were laid during the laying period and early in
the incubation period of their host, and a few of them fledged. Fledging success of parasitic eggs was not different from
that of eggs in non-parasitized nests if parasitic eggs were laid during the host's laying period. However, fledging success
of all parasitic eggs was fewer than that of eggs in non-parasitized nests. By comparison, fledging success of parasitized
nests was not a great as that of non-parasitized nests. 相似文献

European starlings: nestling condition, parasites and green nest material during the breeding season
Male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) intermingle fresh herbs, preferably species rich in volatile compounds, into their dry nest material. In a field study,
we investigated whether these herbs affect the mite and bacteria load of the nests and the condition of the nestlings either
directly or via parasite control. We examined the amount of herbs and the number of plant species males carried into their
nests, the variation of volatile compounds in the headspace air of the nest boxes and mite/bacteria load of the nests throughout
the season. The amount of herb material and the number of plant species, the number of substances emanated by these plants
and the infestation of the nests with bacteria and mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) increased with season. In a field experiment, we exchanged natural starling nests with experimental nests with or without
herbs. We found that the herbs had no effect on the mites but fewer bacteria were sampled in nests with herbs than in nests
without herbs. The body mass of the fledging was not related to the season or the mite/bacteria load of the nests. However,
nestlings from nests with herbs fledged with higher body mass than nestlings from nests without herbs. Both bacteria and mite
load were related to nestling mortality. In nests containing no herbs, the numbers of fledglings declined significantly with
the increasing mite load while the mites had no effect on the number of fledglings in nests with herbs. Thus, the nest herbs
counteracted the effect of the mites. In conclusion, it seems that volatile herbs can reduce bacterial but not mite infestation
of the starling nests. The positive influence of herbs on nestling growth indicates that herbs either directly (perhaps as
immunostimulants) improve the condition of the nestlings and help them cope with the harmful effects of mites, or they provide
a nest environment beneficial for the nestlings‘ development by the reduction of germs. 相似文献

Abstract Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese) (Dermanyssidae) is found in nests and neotboxes and on nestlings of the starling (Sturnus vulgaris L.), sometimes in large numbers, during the breeding season. During the non-breeding season the nestboxes and nest material are devoid of live mites. O. bursa overwinters ectoparasitically on starlings, and is present on approximately 25% of the population at the beginning of the breeding season. These nucleus populations build up rapidly in nest boxes during the breeding season. 相似文献

The strategy used by the intraspecific brood parasite, the grey starling, Sturnus cineraceus (Temminck) and the degree to which this strategy reflected the sources of mortality for parasite eggs were examined. Approximately 74% of all parasite eggs failed to produce young that survived to fledglings. Most of this mortality was due to two factors: (i) laying in a nest that had been deserted by a host during its nesting cycle (19%); and (ii) mismatched timing of laying in the hosts nesting cycle (38%). It is important for parasites to select a suitable host in order to avoid this mortality and increase their reproductive success. However, grey starlings did not select hosts on the basis of nest location, host characteristics, or laying date. Lack of attention to these factors implies a failure on the part of the grey starlings to recognize cues that could direct them to select host nests that would provide the best environment for their eggs. Although some egg loss and egg replacement occurred before clutch initiation by hosts, no evidence was found that parasitic birds removed host eggs after clutch initiation by hosts. These results suggest that parasites did not adopt a successful strategy for enhancing the survival rate of their own eggs. 相似文献

Accumulation and effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in avian species were evaluated at a Superfund site located at Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, Illinois, and seven criteria were used to assess whether there was a causal relationship between PCB exposure and observed reproductive effects. European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were monitored at nest boxes constructed at each of two exposed and two reference sites. During the breeding season, starling productivity (number of chicks produced per nest) and adult nest attentiveness behavior (provisioning behavior) were monitored. At 15 days post-hatch, chicks were collected for contaminant and biomarker analyses. Chicks were necropsied, ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity measured in liver tissue, and PCB (Aroclor 1254) and 34 chlorinated biphenyl (CB) congener concentrations measured in carcasses using gas chromatography. PCB and CB concentrations also were measured in eggs that failed to hatch. Mean Aroclor 1254 and quantified CB concentrations were greater (P<0.001) in eggs that failed to hatch and 15-day-old chicks collected from PCB sites compared to those collected from reference sites. EROD activity was greater (P=0.005) in 15-day-old chicks collected from PCB sites and was correlated with carcass PCB concentrations. Reduced adult nest attentiveness behavior and decreased chick survival were observed at PCB sites. Six of the seven causal criteria evaluated provided evidence that observed reproductive effects resulted from exposure to PCBs. Using this weight-of-evidence approach provided a means for establishing the likely cause of effects and thus provided managers with information needed in decision-making processes. 相似文献

Undulated Antshrikes (Frederickena unduliger) inhabit dense lowland humid forest understory and, as with other species of antbirds, many aspects of their behavior and ecology are poorly known, especially their breeding biology. We provide the first detailed information about their breeding biology based on three nests monitored in the buffer zone of the Manu National Park, Madre de Dios, Peru, from August to December in 2012 and 2013. Nests (N = 3) were large cups woven to the crossing of two horizontal branches. Eggs were white with purplish hairlines and spots, and all three clutches consisted of two eggs. Both males and females incubated eggs and fed nestlings, but only females incubated eggs at night. Provisioning rates and time spent brooding nestlings did not differ between the sexes. Most aspects of the nesting behavior of Undulated Antshrikes in our study were similar to those reported for other species of antbirds, including placement and composition of nests, clutch size, and provisioning rate. However, incubating behavior and the duration of the nestling period of antbirds appear to be influenced by body mass, with larger species such as Undulated Antshrikes having greater nest attentiveness and longer nestling periods than smaller species. Additional studies of other species of antbirds are needed to better understand factors that might contribute to similarities and differences in the nesting behavior of thamnophilids. 相似文献

Summary The use of green nesting material is widespred among birds. Recent evidence suggests that birds use secondary chemicals contained in green plants to control ectoparasites. We manipulated green nesting material and ectoparasites of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) to test two hypotheses: (1) ectoparasites adversely affect prefledging survival and morphometrics or postfledging survival, and (2) green nesting material ameliorates the effects of ectoparasites. We recorded fat score, numbers of scabs, tarsal length, body mass, and hematocrit level on each nestling 17 days after hatching. We also fitted each nestling with unique patagial tags and resighted the starlings for 6–8 weeks after fledging to estimate survival and sighting rates. Nests devoid of green nesting material and dusted with the insecticide, carbaryl, had fewer high ectoparasite infestations, and nestlings had significantly lower scab scores, and significantly higher body masses than nestlings in undusted boxes. However, there was no difference in postfledging survival between birds from carbaryl-treated and undusted nests. There also was no difference in prefledging survival and morphometrics or postfledging survival between nestlings from boxes with and without green nesting material. These results do not support the hypothesis that starlings use green nesting material to control nest ectoparasites. We suggest an alternative hypothesis; green nesting material is used for mate selection or pairbonding in the starling. 相似文献

Adjusting the composition of their nests, breeding birds can influence the environmental conditions that eggs and offspring experience. Birds often use feathers to build nests, presumably due to their insulating properties. The amount of feathers in nests is often associated with increased nestling survival and body condition. However, it is unclear whether these putative beneficial effects of adding feathers to nests are relevant in a wide range of environmental conditions. Here, we combine data on weather conditions and feathers in nests (i.e., nest composition) to investigate their relative contribution to reproductive success in the Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus). Specifically, we investigate whether the effect of weather conditions on breeding success is modulated by the amount of feathers added to the nest. We found a strong negative effect of rainfall on the number of nestlings that successfully fledged per breeding attempt, but this negative effect was not mitigated by the amount of feathers in nests. We also found that the amount of feathers in nests varied along the breeding season, with nests containing more feathers early in the breeding season, when temperatures were lower. Despite considerable variation in nest composition, our results do not suggest an important role of feathers in nests protecting eggs or nestling tree sparrows against fluctuations in environmental conditions. 相似文献

Dynamics of an immune response in house sparrows Passer domesticus in relation to time of day, body condition and blood parasite infection 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
European starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris ) introduced to North America compete with native cavity-nesting birds for nest sites. I examined whether natural selection could favour a strategy of delayed nesting in a population of northern flickers ( Colaptes auratus ), a native woodpecker, to reduce overlap in breeding phenology with starling competitors. I developed a mathematical model based on reproductive parameters for a population of flickers from central British Columbia, Canada. On average, 7% of flicker nests each year were usurped by starlings; daily probabilities of takeover declined through the season but were relatively low (1–2%). Flickers laid between 3 and 13 eggs and there was a negative correlation between clutch size and date. The probability of renesting after nest failure also declined during the season, but renesting intervals (2–19 days) were not associated with female age, or stage of nest loss. The model suggested that costs of delaying reproduction would outweigh benefits of an early start except when the probability of nest usurpation is very high (>75%) early in the season and declines rapidly through the summer. Thus, early laying dates should be favoured especially in northern latitudes where breeding seasons are short. 相似文献
