Abstract

Reverse mounting, females mounting males, is a widespread but uncommonly reported behaviour among birds. Although its function is not fully understood, it is generally accepted that reverse mounting is an integral part of courtship during pair bonding and mating. It has been reported in species of at least 10 orders, but only among three species of columbids previously. Here, I report a casual observation of reverse mounting by two individuals of Spot-winged Pigeons Patagioenas maculosa in the vicinity of the city of Córdaba, Argentina. Components of the display observed in the copulatory sequence of the pair, are frequent in the repertoire of displays during mating and courtship of columbids; yet, reverse mounting is seldom described. These observations support and extend the occurrence of reverse mounting in pigeons.

斑翅鸽反向爬升的观察

反向攀爬，即雌性攀爬雄性，在鸟类中是一种普遍但不常见的行为。虽然它的功能还不完全清楚，但人们普遍认为，在配对和交配过程中，反向攀登是求爱的一个组成部分。在至少10目的种中有报道，但以前只在圆柱目的3种中有报道。在这里，我报告了一次偶然的观察，两只斑翼鸽子Patagioenas maculosa在阿根廷Córdaba市附近反向飞行。在一对的交配序列中观察到的展示的组成部分，在柱头虫交配和求偶期间的展示曲目中经常出现;然而，反向安装很少被描述。这些观察结果支持并扩展了鸽子反向攀登的发生。

期刊介绍： Ornitología Neotropical welcomes high quality manuscripts concerning ornithological research in the Neotropical region, which includes from Mexico south to Argentina and Chile. Papers on Neotropical species in adjacent areas may be considered at the discretion of the editorial board. While the journal has currently a strong emphasis on natural history, all aspects of avian research are of potential interest. Range extensions and first country records of species are best published in national journals unless the findings have broad implications for the Neotropical region.
