Behavioural adaptations of cavity nesting birds

Authors: Cantarero Carmona, Alejandro;

Behavioural adaptations of cavity nesting birds

Abstract

[ES] Las cavidades de nidificación ofrecen unas condiciones de humedad y temperatura relativamente constantes así como protección de la lluvia, la radiación solar y los depredadores. La disponibilidad de dichas cavidades, las propiedades térmicas de los nidos y la carga de ectoparásitos son los principales factores implicados en la evolución del comportamiento de las aves que las utilizan para su reproducción. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es incrementar el conocimiento desde una perspectiva evolutiva de las estrategias de comportamiento que surgen durante diversas etapas del ciclo reproductivo en aves paseriformes que anidan en cavidades, tales como el Papamoscas Cerrojillo Ficedula hypoleuca, el Trepador Azul Sitta europaea y el Herrerillo Común Cyanistes caeruleus. Esta tesis incluye estudios descriptivos y experimentos de campo destinados a comprender los mecanismos subyacentes en la adaptación a la selección y defensa de sitios de nidificación, en la determinación de la estructura y composición del nido, en las respuestas a ectoparásitos y en la comunicación de señales de necesidad entre la pareja reproductora durante la incubación.

[EN] Nesting cavities offer conditions of relatively constant temperature and humidity as well as protection from rain, solar radiation and. Availability of nesting cavities, thermal properties of the nests and ectoparasites loads are among the main factors implicated in the evolution of cavity nesting behaviour. The main goal of this thesis is increased understanding from an evolutionary perspective of the behavioural strategies arising during several stages of the reproductive cycle in small altricial cavity-nesting birds such as the Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca, Eurasian Nuthatch Sitta europaea and Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus. This PhD thesis involves descriptive studies and field experiments aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying adaptations for nest site selection and defense, for determining nest structure and composition, for defense against ectoparasites and for female nutrition during the incubation stage in their natural habitats.
