BirdsThe central point of evolutionary ecology is understanding the drivers of variation in life-history strategies among organisms. The post-fledging dependence period is a critical life-history stage in the life cycle of altricial birds, influencing their ...

Post-fledging Dependence Period in the Eurasian Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in Western France [PDF]
Journal of Raptor Research, 2014 Abstract The post-fledging dependence period (PDP) of 25 Eurasian Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) fledglings was studied in a coastal marsh in western France in 2002 and 2003. Body condition at fledging was the only parameter that had a positive effect on the length of the PDP, which averaged 18 d (range 3–31 d). Mean daily distance from the nest increased

Bird Study, 1993 he post fledging dependence period of 37 Red Kites was studied in the Doñ¸ana Biological Reserve (Spain). The juveniles fledged at a mean age of 55.1 days and remained near the nest, depending on their parents for food, for on average a further 25.6 days.

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionA greater knowledge of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of animal home range (HR) formation can help us to understand the fundamental biological issues underlying, for instance, movement patterns, habitat selection and survival.

Endangered Species ResearchIn altricial birds, the post-fledging dependence period (PFDP) is a fundamental life-history stage with direct consequences for survival, dispersal, and future reproduction.

Ardeola, 2012 Summary.—Space-use strategies are essential behavioural skills during the fledging-to-dispersal period, when physical capabilities and the ability to explore the external world are developed. Here we describe the space-use strategies of 13 radio-tagged ospreys Pandion haliaetus, released as part of a reintroduction project in Central Italy, during ...

Providing longer post-fledging periods increases offspring survival at the expense of future fecundity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The cost of reproduction is a key concept in life-history trade-offs. However, our understanding of the reproductive costs is biased towards measures of reproductive effort obtained before offspring independence.

The contribution of flight capability to the post‐fledging dependence period of golden eagles
Journal of Avian Biology, 2018 The period prior to an individual emigrating from its natal site and initiating dispersal is important for developing the skills that are ultimately required for surviving natal dispersal. Using a novel method to quantify the early movements of 35 juvenile golden eagles fitted with satellite transmitters, we hypothesised that variation in golden eagles’

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many young birds die soon after fledging, as they lack the skills to find food and avoid predation. Post-fledging parental care is assumed to assist acquisition of these vital skills. However, we still lack empirical examples examining the length of time
