Movement Patterns of Adult Male Ovenbirds During the Post-Fledging Period in Fragmented and Forested Boreal Landscapes [PDF]
The Condor, 2001 Abstract Movement of forest songbirds among isolated forest patches following breeding represents an important but poorly understood component of landscape ecology and metapopulation theory. Using radio-telemetry, we followed 44 male Ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapillus) during the post-fledging period to determine if movement patterns ...

Rusty Blackbird Habitat Selection and Survivorship during Nesting and Post-Fledging
Diversity, 2020 Rusty blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) populations have declined dramatically since the 1970s and the cause of decline is still unclear. As is the case for many passerines, most research on rusty blackbirds occurs during the nesting period. Nest success is

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

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.

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.

Post-fledging survival, movements, and habitat associations of Gray Vireos in New Mexico
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022 Annual population growth in songbirds can be particularly sensitive to post-fledging survival, but research and management are frequently biased toward the nesting stage.

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 ...

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.
