Título: | Effects of nest-site availability and distribution on density-dependent clutch size and laying date in the Chough Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax |
Autor: | Blanco, Guillermo CSIC ORCID ; Fargallo, Juan A. CSIC ORCID ; Cuevas, Jesús A.; Tella, José Luis CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 1998 | Editor: | Blackwell Publishing | Citación: | Ibis 140: 252- 256 (1998) | Resumen: | We compared the breeding phenology and clutch size of Choughs Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax in three Spanish areas that differed in feeding habitat, breeding environmental conditions and the distribution and availability of different nesting sites (cliffs or artefacts). The variation in the timing of laying seemed to be related to differences in climatic conditions determined by the altitude. The variation in clutch size was associated with the different use that Choughs made of the feeding areas because of the contrasting availability and distribution of their nesting sites. Within southeastern Madrid, clutch size of the Chough decreased and its variance increased at high nest densities on cliff sites, suggesting that density dependence in fecundity arises from habitat heterogeneity rather than by interference. At high densities, individuals, territories, nest sites or a combination of these may differ in quality, thus promoting differences and increasing the variance in the initial investment of reproductive effort. The syncronization of the onset of laying at increased breeding densities suggests that social influences arising from communal foraging or avoidance of predation by early warning and predator swamping may be acting also. We suggest that nest-site availability and distribution have a major influence on the social organization of Choughs through their breeding and foraging strategies. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/57848 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1474-919X.1998.tb04386.x | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1111/j.1474-919X.1998.tb04386.x issn: 0019-1019 |
