Abstract:

The House Sparrow Passer domesticus, an introduced species, and the Grey-headed Sparrow Passer griseus, an indigenous species, are sympatric in Malawi. Their distribution in the country and any possible interactions were studied, principally in southern Malawi. A morphological analysis of museum specimens confirmed that grey-headed sparrows in Malawi belong to the Northern Grey-headed Sparrow Passer griseus as distinct from the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow Passer diffusus. This species was widely distributed in the, country in association with human dwellings, both in rural areas as well as ur

Multiyear contracting has largely fallen out of favor due to an inability to quantify savings, Congressional reluctance to commit appropriations for greater than one year and the restrictive nature of cancellation ceilings.

This study examines the perspective of prime contractors awarded a major system multiyear contract from 1985 to 1991. A survey was conducted to obtain the contractor perspective, counterbalanced with responses from the Government pr

Abstract:

The fundamental puzzle of personality is why personality – between-individual differences and within-individual consistency of behaviour – exists. Personality has been measured in many taxa and understanding the origins of personality means understanding a common basis to all behaviours. This study uses the isolated Lundy Island house sparrow Passer domesticus system to give a whole-population overview of how personality is formed, maintained, and may influence fitness. House sparrows are globally successful, and might help us to understand the role of personality – inflexible behaviour – in a

North American grassland birds show long-term population declines that generally exceed the declines of other bird groups. Efforts to conserve grassland birds require knowledge of diet and habitat requirements during both the breeding and nonbreeding periods of annual life cycles.

Abstract:

<p>Tree sparrows (Passer montanus) have been studied in two areas in Sweden since 1997. At both sites, tree sparrow eggs had remarkably low hatching success. On average only 60% of the eggs hatched. Analyses have shown that this was caused by embryonic mortality, which was highly sex biased. About 70 % of the dead embryos were males, while about 65 % of all fledged nestlings were females. Impaired hatching success here related to two factors. Hatching success was lower for pairs with a male in poor body condition, and it was lower in areas with a high local population density. </p><p>A sex bia

Dispersal propensity can vary considerably between individuals in a population.

Sex, clutch size, body size and body mass did not significantly explain variation in movement. Movement rate was however negatively related to hatch date on one of the islands.

Reproductive competition among females is an under-studied aspect of behavioural ecology. In species where males provide non-sharable resources that enhance individual and offspring fitness, such as feeding young, intrasexual conflict among females should be expected. My thesis examined reproductive competition among female song sparrows by estimating the reproductive costs of losing male care and behavioural strategies females employed to avoid the loss of male care.

Abstract:

Extra-pair paternity (EPP) is common in birds yet its adaptive significance remains unclear. Since the strategy of EPP is thought to carry costs, females are predicted to obtain indirect genetic benefits (e.g. ‘good genes’) or direct material benefits (e.g. fertility insurance) from pursuing extra-pair copulations (EPCs). Breeding synchrony may also influence the costs and benefits of EPP to males and females. I examine ‘good genes’ benefits of EPP and the effect of breeding synchrony on EPP in a socially monogamous population of song sparrows wherein 29% of 751 offspring were sired by extra-p

This study addressed aggressive interactions, and some of the behaviors associated with them, in House Sparrow flocks. The evidence suggests that females are the consistently dominant sex, which does not concur with the current idea of alternating dominance in House Sparrows. Another purpose of this study was to determine if predictions concerning the type of interaction and level of aggression displayed could be made for interacting House Sparrows. I feel that accurate predictions can be made when several factors are taken into account: time of year, sex, and the age of birds at the food reso

This study examined the breeding ecology of the house sparrow, Passer domesticus, in Kentucky, USA, with particular regard to sexual selection, infidelity and parasitism. These aspects were also examined, to a lesser extent, in an archipelago population in Helgeland, Norway. Male badge size, a character posited to be under sexual selection, did not appear to influence reproductive success. Large-badged males produced more fledglings within a season than small-badged males, although this was not significant after controlling for time of breeding. Large-badged males did not commence breeding ear

Abstract:

Effective population size (Ne) is a fundamental concept within biology and can be defined as the size of an ideal Wright-Fisher population in which the rate of genetic drift is the same as in the observed population. Natural populations are not ideal so that Ne is often < Nc. A low Ne can lead to inbreeding depression and less adaptability in a population, thus it is essential to know Ne for threatened populations. Ne can be estimated using genetic or demographic data. In this study four different genetic estimators (LDNE, ONeSAMP, MLNE and CoNe) and one demographic estimator were compared

Adaptation to local environments via natural selection is a powerful mechanism for population divergence and likely one of the primary causes of speciation.

The benefits of defense must outweigh the costs for territoriality to be profitable. Territory owners may benefit from territories with high quality resources, but they also may
