We provide the first individual-based year-round tracking study describing route choice and timing of black-headed buntings migrating from a breeding site in Croatia to a 6000 km distant non-breeding region in Maharashtra, central India. To evaluate landscapes important for the black-headed bunting migration, we quantified land covers and climates along the migration corridor. Stopover areas during the post-breeding migration were concentrated in four distinct regions: the Balkan Peninsula, central Anatolia, along with the Zagros mountain range and from the Indus river delta to the Kathiawar Peninsula. Post-breeding migration routes followed the shortest path connecting breeding and non-breeding sites, except for the initial detour from the breeding sites to the first stopovers at the Balkan Peninsula. The pre-breeding migration routes occur along the Arabian Peninsula, about 1000 km south of the post-breeding routes – creating a clockwise loop migration pattern. Post-breeding migration lasted about two months, whereas pre-breeding migration was almost two times shorter, conforming to energy- and time-minimisation strategies, respectively. During the post-breeding migration, birds seem to track ecological niches found on their breeding grounds. Post-breeding stopover areas were rich in mosaic lands and were in warm and dry climates of Mediterranean character, while forests and bare areas, as well as arid and humid climates, were avoided. Based on distinctly scarce and widely dispersed stopovers and high travel speeds over the Iranian Plateau along with prolonged stopovers before and after the Plateau, we identified the Iranian Plateau as a major ecological barrier for buntings and likely for other species migrating along the Indo-European flyway.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.02783","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92291097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have colonised numerous oceanic islands and diversified into several species in sympatry. How these species coexist in similar niches is poorly understood although dietary separation is among the mechanisms suggested to avoid trophic overlap. We investigated the trophic ecology of the two endemic <i>Columba</i> species co-occurring in the laurel forest and thermosclerophyllous relicts of two of the Canary Islands. This study includes diet description in spatiotemporal terms, its relationship with fruit availability and seed treatment in 10 study areas established on La Palma and La Gomera. We used non-invasive DNA analysis to identify the faeces of the two congeneric species and microhistological methods to examine their diets. The degree of trophic overlap was evaluated by niche similarity and breadth indices. Molecular faecal sampling determined the spatiotemporal distribution of both pigeons to identify their areas of coexistence. These frugivorous pigeons' diets did not differ concerning the main plant species, but they diverged quantitatively in the proportions and parts of plants consumed. Lauraceae fruits were their staple foods although Rhamnaceae and some Fabaceae and Solanaceae were also important. Both pigeons showed selective preferences for some fruits. Significant spatiotemporal variations in their diets were observed along with a general tendency to increase fruit intake at its ripening times. Our results suggest that different trophic strategies facilitate the coexistence of these frugivorous columbids. These pigeons act as seed dispersers and/or predators depending on seed features (size and hardness), and this may have valuable implications for their conservation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.02803","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137863506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, determining the influence of different frugivores over the distribution of their food plants is difficult, given the complexity of these interactions in the tropics. Consequently, most studies have been restricted to small scales, examining seed dispersal and establishment associated with nests, roosts or fruiting trees. Here, we evaluate the role of frugivorous hornbills in dispersing seeds at spatial scales of 1 ha. We monitored hornbills and seed rain at a tropical forest site in north-east India. We quantified the abundance of hornbill food plants and recruits of large-seeded plants. We estimated removal rates of dispersed, large seeds to determine post-dispersal seed fate. We found that the distribution of large-seeded canopy food plants influenced the distribution of the relatively abundant <i>Rhyticeros undulatus</i>. The overall distribution of hornbills resulted in spatially contagious seed rain patterns for the large-seeded plant species. Patches with canopy food plants had a higher recruit diversity. Our results show positive feedback between distribution of rare but important hornbill food plants, hornbills and distribution of seeds and saplings of large-seeded plants in the landscape. Widespread loss of hornbills due to hunting and habitat loss in the region have likely disrupted these feedback mechanisms that are critical for tree species regeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.02748","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137813230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surprisingly, a mechanistic explanation for such specialized, otherwise rare, relationships is lacking. Using captive birds and artificial diets, we contrasted euphonias with frugivorous tanagers in the genus <i>Thraupis</i> (Thraupidae), which rarely eats <i>Rhipsalis</i> fruits, to test the hypothesis that the digestive capacity of euphonias entails them to exploit such low-energy fruits. We expected that compensatory feeding in response to decreasing energy density would occur only in euphonias, whose higher reliance on fruits would entail a lower nitrogen requirement than the tanagers. Euphonias and tanagers were both able to compensate energy intake as sugar density decreased, and both species had the same mass-corrected energy intake at any given sugar concentration. Similarly, euphonias and tanagers did not differ in mass-corrected maintenance nitrogen requirement. Therefore, the physiological traits we investigated do not explain euphonias' specialization on <i>Rhipsalis</i> fruits. The fast rates of fruit passage typical of specialized avian frugivores as euphonias that entail the processing of a large volume of fruits and the putative better abilities of such birds to deal with secondary compounds likely present in <i>Rhipsalis</i> fruits are other possible mechanisms that should be considered in future studies to unveil the mechanisms underlying the intriguing specialized relationships between euphonias and certain fruits.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.02873","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137778763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key unresolved issue in speciation debates is whether local populations that are somewhat distinct from a parent population in morphology or genotype but that remain connected to the parent population via gene flow should be recognized as species. The species status of the Cassia crossbill <i>Loxia sinesciuris</i>, as well as other distinctive populations in the red crossbill <i>Loxia curvirostra</i> clade including the parrot crossbill <i>L. pytyopsittacus</i> and the Scottish crossbill <i>L. scotica</i>, are test cases for whether the hundreds of other avian ecomorphs should be taxonomically elevated to full species. We argue that these regional populations of red crossbills do not meet stated criteria for species designation under the Biological Species Concept and, regardless of species concept, fail as species simply following logic, parsimony, and consistency. There are no diagnostic morphological characteristics that definitively separate birds in the Cassia crossbill, parrot crossbill, or Scottish crossbill populations from birds in other sympatric crossbill populations. Call type, the behavioral characteristic that is proposed to distinguish Cassia crossbills, parrot crossbills and Scottish crossbills from other populations of crossbills, is learned and can change within the life of an individual. There is evidence of substantial on-going gene flow between Cassia crossbills, parrot crossbills, and Scottish crossbill and other populations of red crossbills, and there is no divergence in mitochondrial genotype. Instead, there exist few fixed genetic differences in nuclear genotype between individuals from these local crossbill populations and individuals from other red crossbill populations.

Additionally, we do not know how urbanization and anthropogenic noise alters the territorial behavior of receivers. We investigated the interplay among song, territorial aggression, urbanization, and anthropogenic noise, in males of the southern house wren <i>Troglodytes aedon musculus</i>, using recordings of spontaneous songs (non-aggressive context) and a playback experiment simulating a male territorial intrusion (aggressive context). We found that urban wrens behaved more aggressively in response to the intruder by singing more and spent more time closer to the intruder than rural wrens regardless of noise. Males produced songs with lower minimum frequency and trills with wider frequency bandwidth and higher vocal performance under acute (playback) than relaxed (post-playback) aggressive encounters. These results suggest that males use songs to communicate aggressive intent or fighting ability. Urban wrens produced higher-pitched songs and trills than rural wrens irrespective of aggressive context. Urban wrens in the noisiest territories also produced the highest-pitched trills but only in the non-aggressive context. Rural wrens in the noisiest territories tended to produce the longest songs (non-aggressive context) or produced the shortest songs (aggressive context).

Duet partners often follow specific duetting rules, such as answering rules and duet codes, to construct their duet songs. Previous studies mainly concentrated on species that repeat particular phrase pairings during duetting. Our study aims to add to the comparative aspect of duetting research by investigating duet structure in songs of white-browed sparrow weavers <i>Plocepasser mahali</i>, a songbird species that does not repeat the same type of vocalization but switches between different types of vocal elements within one duet song. We used lightweight radio-telemetric microphone transmitters to record the vocal activity in both individuals of duetting pairs simultaneously. This technique enabled us not only to investigate duetting behavior in naturally behaving animals, but also to assign each vocalization to the respective individual while maintaining the precise temporal relationship between the vocalizations of both partners. Our data reveal that although white-browed sparrow weavers share a large part of their sex-specific vocal repertoires with same-sex birds of other pairs, duetting partners adhere to pair-specific answering rules to generate their highly complex duet songs. Moreover, partners can combine answering rules into consistent duet trains. Duet trains generally represent only the core of the duet songs, while at the beginning and the end of duet songs, partners arrange their vocalization types more flexibly. In addition to completely pair-specific duet trains, duet trains of white-browed sparrow weaver pairs can include subsequences that are shared between different pairs. The sharing pattern we find in this species suggests that in combination to pair-specific duetting rules, mated pairs use duetting rules that have been acquired prior to pair formation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/jav.02703","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137556366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
