Seabirds are long-lived birds that invest in offspring at very high levels, for which male parental care is indispensable. These characteristics are thought to explain seabirds’ generally low level of extra-pair paternity (EPP). Although the Str[...]

Avian reproduction and population growth are highly dependent on food availability. Consequently, studies on these variables require accurate estimates of food abundance that may vary in space and time. Dippers (Cinclus spp.) are obligate stream[...]

To persist in a landscape, organisms are often faced with evolutionary tradeoffs between individual survival and reproduction. In environments where breeding opportunities are brief, it has been hypothesized that individuals will decrease invest[...]

Female song in birds is more widespread than previously thought but remains poorly studied. Relatively few researchers have compared the structure and function of female song with that of conspecific males, especially in non-duetting species. He[...]

Nectarivorous and frugivorous birds have been found to select their diet according to sugar type and concentration. Consequently, many studies of sugar preference have been conducted on various avian species. Common Mynas, Sturnus tristis, previ[...]

Passeriform birds exhibit previously unreported differences in the course of the arteria ophthalmica externa in the middle ear, which can easily be traced through examination of the involved osseous structures. In the Suboscines and most of the [...]

Nesting in old cavities may be adaptive for birds as it may offer an advantage of earlier laying and higher fitness through more recruiting offspring. Black Woodpeckers frequently use old cavities, which gives the opportunity to test how this be[...]

Apart from a few well-studied examples, there is little information regarding the life history and ecological requirements of brood parasites and their hosts in most cuckoo–host systems, particularly in tropical areas. In New Caledonia, the Fan-[...]

White-eyes (Zosterops spp.) are a group of small passerines distributed across the Eastern Hemisphere that have become a textbook example of rapid speciation. However, traditional taxonomy has relied heavily on conservative plumage features to d[...]

The Iberian Peninsula harbours an “Endangered” population of the Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata), of less than five breeding pairs, restricted to a small geographical area, the Terra Chá district in Lugo (Galicia, Spain). These birds constitu[...]

Animals from many taxa produce low amplitude acoustic signals. In some birds such soft signals were found to be uttered in aggressive context and were the best predictor of subsequent physical attack. This phenomenon is poorly understood and sev[...]

Sentinel behaviour has been widely described, but whether or not it is coordinated among group members requires careful examination. The Smooth-billed Ani, Crotophaga ani, a joint-nesting cooperatively breeding bird, appears to have a sentinel s[...]

Despite the fact that parent-absent begging (PAB) has been studied as a communication tool during competition between nestlings for food or as a signal of need, its role in nest predation has been poorly investigated. In this study we examined w[...]

Species abundance is often spatially structured such that, within a species’ distribution, abundance peaks at one or more areas and declines from those points. Abundance may also increase or decrease over time, but the spatial structure of tempo[...]

We investigated the main environmental variables determining the occurrence of the Eurasian Treecreeper Certhia familiaris and Short-toed Treecreeper C. brachydactyla within the mountain range of the Pyrenees. Presence/absence data were obtained[...]

Analysis of the impacts of social structure on the behaviour and life history of birds is a rapidly developing area of ornithology. Such studies commonly focus on the Paridae (tits and chickadees) as a model group, but detailed assessment of the[...]

The overwhelming majority of avian extinctions have occurred on islands, where introduced predators, habitat loss, disease, and human persecution have resulted in the loss of over 160 species in the last 500 years. Understanding the timing and c[...]

The Common Cuckoo (hereafter Cuckoo) shows two adult plumage morphs—adult male plumage is grey and adult females are either grey or, less frequently, rufous. The situation is less clear in juveniles, as both sexes exhibit variable proportions of[...]
