Is there a weekend bias in clutch-initiation dates from citizen science? Implications for studies of avian breeding phenology

International Journal of Biometeorology, 58(7), 1415–1419.

By: C. Cooper*

MeSH headings : Animals; Birds / physiology; Climate Change; Humans; Nesting Behavior; Reproduction; Research Design; Time Factors; United States; Volunteers
TL;DR: This work investigated whether weekend bias existed for clutch-initiation dates for common species in US citizen-science projects, and found that those who visited nests on Saturdays more frequently than other days were more likely to estimate clutch initiation on a Saturday.

TL;DR: Haywood’s egg removal experiments with Common Swifts Apus apus nicely demonstrate that the trait (or suite of traits) under selection is not the number of eggs in a clutch, an ordinal trait measured quantitatively, but rather the physiological mechanisms controlling the endpoint of the laying sequence.

Seasonal and Latitudinal Trends in Clutch Size: Thermal Constraints During Laying and Incubation

author keywords: clutch size variation; Cornell Nest Record Program; critical temperatures; egg viability; hatching failure; incubation period; latitude gradients; onset of incubation; seasonal constraints
TL;DR: Using general linear mixed models, it is found that large-scale nesting patterns of Eastern Bluebirds and Red-winged Blackbirds are consistent with the egg-viability hypothesis in that females appear to initiate incubation before clutch completion when they lay large clutches at low latitudes.

Latitudinal trends in within-year reoccupation of nest boxes and their implications

Journal of Avian Biology, 36(1), 31–39.

By: C. Cooper*, W. Hochachka & A. Dhondt

TL;DR: This work analyzed nest box reoccupation by a multiple-brooding species, the eastern bluebird Sialia sialis, reported by volunteers in a citizen-participation project (1998–2002), and found nest boxes in the southern portion of the bluebird range had, on average 17–33% higher likelihood of repeated egg-laying, brooding, and successful fledging events than Boxes in the north.

Effects of remnant size and connectivity on the response of Brown Treecreepers to habitat fragmentation

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 102(3), 249–256.

By: C. Cooper*, J. Walters* & H. Ford*

TL;DR: It is concluded that remnant connectivity influences dispersal success of Brown Treecreepers, with dispersal being disrupted when remnants are unconnected, and isolation-sensitivity is the primary basis of the species’ sensitivity to habitat fragmentation. (via Semantic Scholar)

Experimental Evidence of Disrupted Dispersal Causing Decline of an Australian Passerine in Fragmented Habitat

Conservation Biology, 16(2), 471–478.

By: C. Cooper* & J. Walters*

TL;DR: It is concluded that patch isolation is responsible for the high proportion of unpaired males in fragmented habitat in Brown Treecreeper, although degradation likely played a role in the past at a regional scale. (via Semantic Scholar)

LANDSCAPE PATTERNS AND DISPERSAL SUCCESS: SIMULATED POPULATION DYNAMICS IN THE BROWN TREECREEPER

Ecological Applications, 12(6), 1576–1587.

By: C. Cooper*, J. Walters* & J. Priddy

TL;DR: For this cooperative breeder, where territories become clumped due to a high rate of territorial budding, matrix habitats continue to influence overall population performance, and conservation efforts must address the quality of the matrix habitats as well as the configuration of remaining habitat.

author keywords: habitat fragmentation; eucalyptus woodland; demography; foraging; dispersal
TL;DR: The authors' data support disrupted dispersal as a likely explanation for the decline of brown treecreepers in fragmented habitat, but can not rule out forms of habitat degradation other than reduced food availability. (via Semantic Scholar)
