  • Social Behaviour and Breeding Biology of the Yeliow-Rumped Thornbill
    Social Behaviour and Breeding Biology of the Yeliow-Rumped Thornbill Daniel Ebert A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of hilosophy of The Australian National University April 2004 Declaration The research presented in this thesis is my own original work and no part has been submitted for a previous degree. Signed Daniel Ebert April 2004 Dedication In memory of Anjeli Catherine Nathan 18 March 1975 - 3 November 1999 Acknowledgements This thesis was a work in progress, or not, for some years and many people made significant contributions of supervision, assistance or support. My supervisor, Rob Magrath, and Andrew Cockburn and David Green were instrumental in promoting thombill research as a worthwhile pursuit. I thank them for their contributions to the formulation of this project and their interest in my work. Rob Magrath’s particular combination of insight, knowledge and patience was invaluable throughout this study. I am also grateful for the general advice and guidance of Rob Heinsohn and Sarah Legge. This project involved many early morning mist-netting sessions which would have been even more “miss” than “hit” without the enthusiastic assistance of numerous volunteers. David Green, Mike Double, James Nicholls, Sarah Legge, Anjeli Nathan, Janet Gardner, Nie MacGregor, Rob Heinsohn, Rob Magrath, Andrew Cockburn and Peter Marsack all cheerfully participated in the usually unrewarding exercise of netting thombills in the mist and cold. I’m especially grateful to Steve Murphy for his competence and enthusiasm in the field and his impressive ability to find thombill nests after half an hour of “training”. Minisatellite DNA fingerprinting is an error-prone and frustrating procedure usually requiring good fortune as well as good management for success.
