  • Territory Size and Stability in a Sedentary Neotropical Passerine: Is Resource Partitioning a Necessary Condition?
    J. Field Ornithol. 76(4):395±401, 2005 Territory size and stability in a sedentary neotropical passerine: is resource partitioning a necessary condition? Janet V. Gorrell,1 Gary Ritchison,1,3 and Eugene S. Morton2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, Kentucky 40475 USA 2 Hemlock Hill Field Station, 22318 Teepleville Flats Road, Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania 16403 USA Received 9 April 2004; accepted 11 April 2005 ABSTRACT. Long-term pair bonds and defense of territories year-round are common among tropical passer- ines. The boundaries of these territories tend to be stable, perhaps re¯ecting the need to defend an area that, regardless of conditions, provides suf®cient food resources. If, however, these stable territories are not, even tem- porarily, suf®ciently large, then intra-pair competition for available food may result, particularly in species with no sexual size dimorphism. With such competition, sex-speci®c differences in foraging behavior may result. Male and female Dusky Antbirds (Cercomacra tyrannina) are not size dimorphic, and pairs jointly defend territories throughout the year. Our objective was to determine if paired Dusky Antbirds exhibited sex-speci®c differences in foraging behavior. Foraging antbirds were observed in central Panama from February±July 2002 to determine if pairs par- titioned food resources. Males and females exhibited no differences in foraging behavior, with individuals of both sexes foraging at similar heights and using the same foraging maneuvers (glean, probe, and sally) and substrates (leaves, rolled leaves, and woody surfaces). These results suggest that Dusky Antbirds do not partition resources and that territory switching, rather than resource partitioning, may be the means by which they gain access to additional food resources.

  • Antbird Guilds in the Lowland Caribbean Rainforest of Southeast Nicaragua1
    The Condor 102:7X4-794 0 The Cooper Ornithological Society 2000 ANTBIRD GUILDS IN THE LOWLAND CARIBBEAN RAINFOREST OF SOUTHEAST NICARAGUA1 MARTIN L. CODY Department of OrganismicBiology, Ecology and Evolution, Universityof California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1606, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Some 20 speciesof antbirdsoccur in lowland Caribbeanrainforest in southeast Nicaragua where they form five distinct guilds on the basis of habitat preferences,foraging ecology, and foraging behavior. Three guilds are habitat-based,in Edge, Forest, and Gaps within forest; two are behaviorally distinct, with species of army ant followers and those foraging within mixed-species flocks. The guilds each contain 3-6 antbird species. Within guilds, species are segregatedby body size differences between member species, and in several guilds are evenly spaced on a logarithmic scale of body mass. Among guilds, the factors by which adjacent body sizes differ vary between 1.25 and 1.75. Body size differ- ences may be related to differences in preferred prey sizes, but are influenced also by the density of the vegetation in which each speciescustomarily forages. Resumen.

  • Band-Tailed Pigeon (Patagioenas Fasciata)
    Band-tailed Pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata) NMPIF level: Species Conservation Concern, Level 2 (SC2) NMPIF assessment score: 15 NM stewardship responsibility: Low National PIF status: Watch List New Mexico BCRs: 16, 34, 35 Primary breeding habitat(s): Ponderosa Pine Forest, Mixed Conifer Forest Other habitats used: Spruce-Fir Forest, Madrean Pine-Oak Woodland Summary of Concern Band-tailed Pigeon is a summer resident of montane forests in New Mexico. Both locally and across its wide geographic range the species has shown sharp population declines since the 1960s. Prior to that time, extensive commercial hunting may have significantly reduced the population from historic levels. It is not known if current declines are the result of continuing hunting pressure, habitat changes, or other factors. Associated Species Northern Goshawk, Long-eared Owl, Lewis's Woodpecker (SC1), Acorn Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Olive-sided Flycatcher (BC2), Greater Pewee (BC2), Steller's Jay, Red-faced Warbler (SC1). Distribution A Pacific coast population of Band-tailed Pigeon breeds from central California north to Canada and Alaska, extending south to Baja California in the winter. In the interior, a migratory population breeds in upland areas of southern Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. The species occurs year-round throughout the highlands of central Mexico, south to Central and South America. In New Mexico, Band-tailed Pigeon breeds in forest habitat throughout the state, west of the plains. It is perhaps most common in the southwest (Parmeter et al. 2002). Ecology and Habitat Requirements In the Southwest, Band-tailed Pigeons inhabit montane forests dominated by pines and oaks, sometimes extending upward in elevation to timberline.

  • Paper Describing Hummingbird-Sized Dinosaur Retracted 24 July 2020, by Bob Yirka
    Paper describing hummingbird-sized dinosaur retracted 24 July 2020, by Bob Yirka teeth. Some in the field were so sure that it was a lizard and not a dinosaur that they wrote and uploaded a paper to the bioRxiv preprint server outlining their concerns. The authors of the paper then published a response addressing their concerns and refuting the skeptics' arguments. That was followed by another team reporting that they had found a similar fossil and after studying it, had deemed it to be a lizard. In reviewing both the paper and the evidence presented by others in the field, the editors at Nature chose to retract the paper.

  • Nesting Behavior of Reddish Hermits (Phaethornis Ruber) and Occurrence of Wasp Cells in Nests
    NESTING BEHAVIOR OF REDDISH HERMITS (PHAETHORNIS RUBER) AND OCCURRENCE OF WASP CELLS IN NESTS YOSHIKA ONIKI REDraSHHermits (Phaethornisruber) are small hummingbirdsof the forested tropical lowlands east of the Andes and south of the Orinoco (Meyer de Schauensee,1966: 161). Five birds mist-nettedat Belem (1 ø 28' S, 48ø 27' W, altitude 13 m) weighed2.0 to 2.5 g (average2.24 g). I studiedtheir nestingfrom 14 October1966 to October1967 at Belem, Brazil, in the Area de PesquisasEco16gicas do Guam•t (APEG) and MocamboForest reserves,in the Instituto de Pesquisase Experimentaqfio Agropecu•triasdo Norte (IPEAN). Names of forest types used and the Portugueseequivalents are: tidal swamp forest (vdrze'a), mature upland forest (terra-/irme) and secondgrowth (capoeira). In all casescapo.eira has been in mature upland situations. At Belem Phaethornisruber is commonall year in the lower levels of secondgrowth (capoeira) where thin branchesare plentiful. Isolated males call frequently from thin horizontal branches,never higher than 2.5-3.0 m. The male sits erect and wags his tail forward and backward as he squeaksa seriesof insectlike"pi-pi-pipipipipipi" notes, 18-20 times per minute; the first two or three notesare short and separated,the rest are run togetherrapidly.

The information ranges from strategic, national assessments of coastal and estuarine environmental quality to real-time information for navigation or hazardous materials spill response. Through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program, ORCA uses uniform techniques to monitor toxic chemical contamination of bottom-feeding fish, mussels and oysters, and sediments at about 300 locations throughout the United States. A related NS&T Program of directed research examines the relationships between contaminant exposure and indicators of biological responses in fish and shellfish. Through the Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division (HAZMAT) Scientific Support Coordination program, ORCA provides critical scientific support for planning and responding to spills of oil or hazardous materials into coastal environments. Technical guidance includes spill trajectory predictions, chemical hazard analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of marine and estuarine environments to spills. To fulfill the responsibilities of the Secretary of Commerce as a trustee for living marine resources, HAZMAT’s Coastal Resource Coordination program provides technical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during all phases of the remedial process to protect the environment and restore natural resources at hundreds of waste sites each year.
