Cooperation and conflict in the building and maintenance of the compound nests of monk parakeets Myiopsitta monachus
Colonial birds often breed at high density, generating conflict among neighbours over the use of nest-building materials. However, in a few colonial species, breeders appear to cooperate in the construction of compound nests that contain multiple breeding chambers within a single nest structure. The relative contributions of individual birds and the balance between cooperation and conflict among close neighbours in such species have rarely been examined. In this study, we investigated evidence for cooperation and conflict in the building and maintenance of the nests of monk parakeets Myiopsitta monachus in an invasive population in which compound nests are frequent. First, we found that males invested more in nest construction than females and when more than one male occupied the same breeding chamber multiple males contributed to the same nest. Females, by contrast, invested more in nest defence than males. Second, we found that there was conflict among pairs over nest material, with kleptoparasitism of nesting material and defence against conspecifics evident. We conclude that nest-building in monk parakeets involves both cooperation and conflict. Breeders often tolerate the budding of nests, which are often built by relatives, but that pairs are also in conflict over the use of nest material.
期刊介绍:
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
