Secondary shrubby communities provide nesting habitat for birds in a semiarid agricultural landscape
Monica E. Riojas-Lopez, Auteur ; Eric Mellink, Auteur ; Noe Abraham Munoz-Padilla, AuteurLoss and fragmentation of natural and semi-natural vegetation caused by agricultural intensification are related to many declines in shrubland bird populations, but they have received little conservation attention and research effort. In the Lla[...]

We obtained data from two colonies during fou[...]

Guevara-Medina, Auteur ; Eric Mellink, AuteurWe studied the breeding ecology of Red-billed Tropicbirds Phaethon aethereus at Farallon de San Ignacio, Sinaloa, in the south-central part of the Gulf of California, during two years with different oceanographic conditions: 2004, a neutral year[...]
Article
Jose Alfredo Castillo-Guerrero, Auteur ; Eric Mellink, AuteurLabor division in parental care and reduction of inter-sex competition by division of the foraging niche have been suggested as part of the evolutionary basis for reversed sexual size dimorphism in boobies (Sulidae). To test the potential viabil[...]
Article
Erick González-Medina, Auteur ; José Alfredo Castillo-Guerrero, Auteur ; Eric Mellink, AuteurOne main line of thought in life history theory is that investment in offspring must be balanced to minimize negative impacts on adult survival and future breeding. Seabirds have been regarded as fixed investors, although they exhibit a whole gr[...]
