Abstract:

How seasonal migration originated and impacted diversification in birds remains largely unknown. Although migratory behaviour is likely to affect bird diversification, previous studies have not detected any effect. Here, we infer ancestral migratory behaviour and the effect of seasonal migration on speciation and extinction dynamics using a complete bird tree of life. Our analyses infer that sedentary behaviour is ancestral, and that migratory behaviour evolved independently multiple times during the evolutionary history of birds. Speciation of a sedentary species into two sedentary daughter s

Including the change in the dynamics of the number of birds included in both families, the effects of anthropogenic factors on the way of life of those birds were compared to the previous years, and a general conclusion was reached. It has been known that the black sparrow, which belongs to the starling family, is a sedentary bird, and the blue sparrow is a nesting bird, and migrates after bre

The following paper describes the results of seasonal dynamics study of the cardiac index of sedentary and migratory species of the Corvidae birds on the territory of the Chuvash Republic. The objects of the research were sedentary, nomadic and migratory species of the Corvidae birds: magpie, jackdaw, rook and gray crow. The work is based on the materials of the field and laboratory studies, which were conducted in the spring and autumn of 2016-2019 in the Chuvash Republic. The parameters of the cardiac index of grey crows, magpies, rooks and jackdaws were studied and birds with the lowest bod

Abstract:

Migratory bird species have smaller brains than non-migratory species. The behavioural flexibility/migratory precursor hypothesis suggests that sedentary birds have larger brains to allow the behavioural flexibility required in a seasonally variable habitat. The energy trade-off hypothesis proposes that brains are heavy, energetically expensive and therefore, incompatible with migration. Here, we compared relative brain, neocortex and hippocampus volume between migratory and sedentary bats at the species-level and using phylogenetically independent contrasts.

Abstract:

Night-time poses exacting problems for vision, resolution inevitably falls and colour vision is not possible as light levels decrease to those of natural night time. Furthermore, light levels are highly variable depending upon whether there is moonlight, and night length changes dramatically in the annual cycle according to latitude. Few birds exploit the resources available at night. Those that do rely upon information received from vision complemented by information from other senses (hearing, olfaction, and touch), and upon highly specialized and restricted behaviours. However, many birds o

Abstract In this chapter we outline the physical geography of Mexico and northern Central America, the main regions of bird distribution (see Figs 3(a) and (b)), and species characteristic of each region. Our divisions are based primarily on biogeographic considerations and are somewhat broader than biotic divisions such as those of Goldman and Moore (1945). Biogeography relates the distribution of living organisms to factors such as topography, climate, and vegetation. In addition, one must consider temporal aspects such as glaciations and changing sea levels. A basic knowledge of avian distr

Abstract:

Phenological responses to climate change are the most commonly measured responses of plants and animals to climate change, and most studies show that species are advancing the timing of their seasonal activities in response to warming temperatures. Birds interact with a wide range of other species, playing roles as herbivores, predators, prey, and disease hosts. Because the species they interact with are all likely changing phenology and distribution in response to the changing climate, but often at different rates, mismatches with historical patterns are affecting ecological communities in a

Abstract Throughout this book we have noted many examples of colonizing species changing their habitat preference or dispersal ability in the course of their evolutionary history in Northern Melanesia. For example, many initially vagile species become sedentary (chapter 11), some open-country colonists shift into forest (chapter 10), and some lowland colonists shift into the mountains (chapter 24). Does the course of evolution in Northern Melanesian birds evince any general tendencies? How greatly do colonizing species differ in their evolutionary histories? We shall begin by summarizing Wilso

Abstract:

If we look across all organisms, we find that some species produce only one or a few large offspring per reproductive bout (e.g., most birds and mammals), others produce 10s or 100s of intermediatesize offspring (e.g., most plants and insects), and yet others produce many 1000s of offspring (e.g., some marine invertebrates). How can we account for such broad variation? In this chapter, we review many of the environmental and demographic variables that influence the evolution of offspring size and number. In the first section, we discuss how the trade-off between offspring size and number is an

Abstract Cassin’s Auklets Ptychoramphus aleuticus are wing-propelled diving seabirds which feed extensively on krill and small fish of various species. Cassin’s Auklets are generally migratory; however, our study population on Southeast Farallon Island, California, is sedentary (Ainley et al. 1990). Here, its breeding biology, demography, foraging ecology, and diet have been studied since 1969. On Southeast Farallon, these birds nest in burrows or natural rock crevices. Birds will also use nest boxes which greatly facilitates research and monitoring. Cassin’s Auklets are nocturnal in their vis

Abstract:

Abstract However, its ecology is rather distinctive, being sedentary and appearing to maintain family groups. Its calls and exuberant behaviour at the roost are unusual among herons. Furthermore, the prolonged dependence of young on adults is decidedly un- heron-like. Explanations may be the need to teach foraging, but such dependence in other species suggests a saturated habitat and maybe young birds face difficulty in establishing their own territory. Given the difference of this family life to that of most herons, the species is likely to also show unique demography and social structure.

Abstract Of the three swan species that occur in Britain, the Bewick’s and Whooper Swans are migratory and the Mute Swan resident throughout the year. The Bewick’s Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii (see drawing above) breeds on tundra in the Russian arctic, and birds from the western population fly some 4000 km each autumn to wintering sites located primarily in the Netherlands, Britain, and Ireland. British-wintering Whooper Swans Cygnus cygnus, on the other hand, are predominantly from the Icelandic breeding population, and have a comparatively short migratory journey of some 800 km between t

Abstract:

Abstract Migration may be long-distance or local. The former refers to birds regularly traveling considerable distances between their breeding and non-breeding grounds. These migrations are usually oriented north-south. Local migrations involve birds moving shorter distances, often less predictably or regularly, and include altitudinal migration, seasonal withdrawal from peripheral breeding areas, and post-breeding dispersal. One thing that may be unfamiliar to observers from North America or Western Europe is the large proportion of species in Mexico and northern Central America that are sede

Abstract The Blackbird Turdus merula is one of Europe’s most familiar birds. Originally shy inhabitants of woodland, Blackbirds are now a common sight, searching for earthworms (Lumbricus sp.) on lawns in urban parks and gardens. Males are striking, their sooty black plumage contrasting with a yellow orange bill and eye ring; females are brown, and their eye ring and bill are usually darker. Blackbird populations can be migratory or, like the one we studied, sedentary. Despite occasional records of polygyny, the species is behaviourally monogamous, with the pair breeding on an all purpose terr
