Seasonal clutch size variation of multi-brooded bird species: comparisons between breeding season and latitudes
2004
Single- and multi-brooded species of birds differ in their seasonal patterns of clutch size. Single-brooded species start with a maximum clutch size that declines continuously as the season progresses, whereas the clutch sizes of multi-brooded species usually increase to a mid-season maximum peak and then decrease progressively until the end of the breeding season. Previous studies have shown that multi-brooded migrant species present seasonal patterns that are similar to single-brooded species at high latitudes but similar to multi-brooded non-migratory species at lower latitudes. We studied the Greenfinch Carduelis chloris and Goldfinch C. carduelis populations in eastern Spain (Sagunto, …
El declive de las poblaciones de aves granívoras en medios agrícolas en el este de la Península Ibérica
2015
Se estudian las tendencias poblacionales de tres especies de aves granívoras, el gorrión común (Passer domesticus), el jilguero europeo (Carduelis carduelis) y el verderón común (Carduelis chloris), las cuales nidifican en un área agrícola dedicada al cultivo de naranjos en el este de la Península Ibérica. De forma complementaria, también se estudian la abundancia de gorrión común en la provincia de Teruel y las poblaciones reproductoras de verderón común en otras áreas agrícolas situadas en Castellón, Valencia y Alicante. Se analizan los aspectos de la ecología reproductiva de las dos especies de carduelinos: inicio de la estación reproductora, variación estacional del tamaño de puesta, di…
Data from: Inter-annual variation and long-term trends in proportions of resident individuals in partially migratory birds
2016
Partial migration – a part of a population migrates and another part stays resident year-round on the breeding site – is probably the most common type of migration in the animal kingdom, yet it has only lately garnered more attention. Theoretical studies indicate that in partially migratory populations, the proportion of resident individuals (PoR) should increase in high latitudes in response to the warming climate, but empirical evidence exists for few species. We provide the first comprehensive overview of the environmental factors affecting PoR and the long-term trends in PoR by studying 27 common partially migratory bird species in Finland. The annual PoR values were calculated by divid…
