Reduced compensatory growth capacity in mistimed 1 broods of a migratory passerine 2 3
Phenotypic plasticity has recently been proposed to increase population viability 15 when rapid anthropogenic environmental changes cannot be tracked by means of evolution. 16 This assumes that environmental changes do not constrain phenotypic plasticity itself, which 17 has rarely been examined in natural populations. In areas of climate warming, many long-18 distance migratory birds breed inc...
متن کاملInvasive plant erodes local song diversity in a migratory passerine.
Exotic plant invasions threaten ecosystems globally, but we still know little about the specific consequences for animals. Invasive plants can alter the quality of breeding habitat for songbirds, thereby impacting important demographic traits such as dispersal, philopatry, and age structure. These demographic effects may in turn alter song-learning conditions to affect song structure and divers...
متن کاملMigratory Passerine Birds as Reservoirs of Lyme Borreliosis in Europe
To define the role of birds as reservoirs and disseminators of Borrelia spirochetes, we characterized tick infestation and reservoir competence of migratory passerine birds in Sweden. A total of 1,120 immature Ixodes ricinus ticks were removed from 13,260 birds and assayed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Borrelia, followed by DNA sequencing for species and genotype identific...
متن کاملNew records of nematodes of passerine migratory birds.
Parasitological examination of three passerine bird species: the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio, Eurasian Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus and Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava, revealed the presence of the nematodes Acuaria subula, Diplotriaena ozouxi, Viguiera euryoptera and Microtetrameres inermis. All the birds were obtained in the spring (April-May); the nematodes found were mature, which ind...
متن کاملMaladaptive Habitat Selection of a Migratory Passerine Bird in a Human-Modified Landscape
In human-altered environments, organisms may preferentially settle in poor-quality habitats where fitness returns are lower relative to available higher-quality habitats. Such ecological trapping is due to a mismatch between the cues used during habitat selection and the habitat quality. Maladaptive settlement decisions may occur when organisms are time-constrained and have to rapidly evaluate ...
