Abstract:

Sixteen female narwhals (Monodon monoceros) were tracked by satellite in 2000 and 2001 from their summering ground near Somerset Island in the Canadian High Arctic to their wintering ground in central Baffin Bay. The wintering ground location was spatially discrete from another narwhal wintering ground in southern Baffin Bay. Area extent of the summering ground was approximately 9464 km2 and area extent of the wintering ground was 25 846 km2. Two of the narwhals were tracked for more than 12 consecutive months. These whales used three focal areas between their spring and autumn migration: a co

Previously, there was no special study of the Great Bustard (Otis tarda) in Uzbekistan. The first Bustard survey was conducted within the Winter Bustards Census Programme of the Eurasian Bustard Alliance in 2019. The discovery of a Great Bustards aggregation of 96 individuals in Jizzakh region showed that the wintering grounds are more stable than was expected before and that there is no information about the wintering grounds of this species in the country. The aim of this work was to find other wintering grounds, estimate the number of wintering Great Bustards and assess threats. The identif

The main and interactive effects of host and seasonal factors on abundance of 22 common helminth species from fall and spring migratory blue-winged teal collected in the Texas Panhandle were examined. Although abundances of many common helminth species were greater in immature than adult birds just off the breeding grounds, fall-collected adults had higher abundances of most helminth species than did both juvenile and adult birds from the wintering grounds in Mexico. While total abundance of helminths declined on the wintering grounds to only 54% of that from fall-collected birds, overall spec

Long-distance migrants may be particularly vulnerable to climate change on both wintering and breeding grounds. However, the relative importance of climatic variables at different stages of the annual cycle is poorly understood, even in well-studied Palaearctic migrant species. Using a national dataset spanning 46 years, we investigate the impact of wintering ground precipitation and breeding ground temperature on breeding phenology and clutch size of 19 UK migrants.

We found a similar genetic structure among the breeding birds and certain samples from wintering grounds in the Baltic Sea. The wintering birds showed evidence of genetic structure between years, possibly resulting from winter movements of different subpopulations of Long-tail

Abstract:

Based on the materials of long-term studies (1964-2024), modern changes in the composition of the bird fauna of the Baikal region in winter are shown. A clear trend towards a decrease in the abundance of birds over a wide area has been revealed. At the same time, their species composition has increased significantly. It is proved that the main reason for such changes is a strong warming of the climate – 1.9 ° C/100 years. The process of formation of “cold” wintering grounds in new species cannot be explained without a detailed study of their late autumn flight. It is shown that such wintering

According to historical information the bird mainly bred in Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces and wintered at coastal regions near the Yangtze estuary. Due to geographical and anthropological changes, the breeding grounds gradually moved to the west and south while the wintering grounds moved northward. Efforts have been made to protect this endangered species but factors still exist which restrict further development of the population.

Abstract:

Considerations of acquisition of energy for reproduction by waterfowl have disproportionately focused on females, although males also require energy for reproduction. We quantified variation in body mass of male Harlequin Ducks ( Histrionicus histrionicus (L., 1758)) on coastal wintering areas prior to spring migration, as well as on breeding grounds, to determine when and where nutrients were acquired to meet costs of reproduction. Male mass on wintering grounds increased, on average, by 45 g (7%) in the weeks prior to migration. On breeding streams, we inferred that body mass of paired males

AbstractUsing museum specimens, I document the molt cycles and molting grounds of the Gray Vireo (Vireo vicinior). During prebasic molts, adult female Gray Vireos replace their primaries in 57 days, whereas adult males take 70 days; all body plumage is replaced during this molt. Prebasic molts occur almost exclusively on the breeding grounds; just 3 of 41 specimens replacing primaries were collected away from breeding grounds. No molting specimens were collected from wintering areas. Prealternate molt occurs on the wintering grounds, and appears limited to the replacement of innermost secondar

Humpback whales display a variety of percussive behaviors that may function as communication between conspecifics. Pectoral-fin slapping behavior is commonly observed in a variety of marine mammals including seals, dolphins, and humpback whales. Data from 5-years of behavioral observations of humpback whales on the Hawaiian wintering grounds were compiled and analyzed. Overall findings suggest pec-slapping behavior is dependent on the performer's age class, sex, and social role. Adult females appear to pec-slap in competition groups in efforts to encourage competition from surrounding males, i

The White-tailed eagle (H. albicilla) and the Steller's sea eagle (H. pelagicus) overwinter in the same region of Japan: North-western Hokkaido. To examine how and if these two species compete at their overwintering grounds the following questions were asked: are they evenly distributed over this region and do they compete over space and resources? For the period 2015-2019, I found that the two species were not evenly distributed over the region, and that H. pelagicus is the most common species and does occur over the whole area.

AbstractGray whale sexual behavior and copulation are observed throughout their range. The most prominent period for reproductive behavior is during the southward migration from summer feeding areas to wintering areas where some breeding occurs and calves of the year are reared. The seasonal migrations of gray whales are believed to function, in part, to bring together individuals that are otherwise widely distributed during the period of estrus to facilitate mating and reproduction. Sexual behaviors and sexual strategies for this species appear to align closely with those of balaenid (not ror

However, in many species this is clearly untrue as some individuals defend territories that exclude others.

In some species territories may be defended by groups. Territorial behaviour is usually most pronounced in the breeding season and this is the situation I consider here.
