“…The long off-bout caused eggs to drop to very cool ambient temperatures (15–20°C) and remain there for several hours and caused relatively cool mean egg temperatures (Martin et al 2013). Such behavior where eggs are unattended for several hours has been documented in 1 other species on our site, the Mountain Wren Babbler ( Gypsophila crassus ; Slevin et al 2020), as well as in a species in the New World tropics (Martin and Schwabl 2008, Muñoz and Martin 2014) and 1 in Australia (Ward 1940). The behavior is therefore not unique to stubtails but is very uncommon, and the cool egg temperatures caused incubation periods (23–24 d) that were longer than most tropical passerines, especially for their small size (Martin et al 2013, 2015a).…”

“…Furthermore, I showed that feeding rate was higher in the late than early nestling period (Figure 3). Feeding rate usually increases with nestling age [36,37,38 1). Eggs are usually laid in two days intervals and nestlings in a brood hatch and fledge on different days [41,42,14].…”

I investigated parental behavior and nest site occupancy of the European Roller, Coracias garrulus in a novel breeding site, retaining walls with numerous embedded 10 cm diameter pipes in 2020–2022 in northern Turkey, Corum. I also searched the literature to review parental behavior and length of parental care in egg and nestling stages in other members of the order Coraciiformes. European Rollers occupied 6 holes for 12 nesting attempts across three years. Nest height from the ground was 4.7 ± 0.3 m (n = 12). I video-recorded the nest holes in the early morning during the incubation and nestling periods for 22.9 and 25 hours in total, respectively. Males and females shared incubation and nestling provisioning tasks. Nest attentiveness was 97.9% ± 0.79. Average feeding rate of nestlings was 10.86 ± 2.15 trips h-1. Feeding rates increased from early (5.94 ± 1.09 h-1) to late (15.8 ± 2.04 h-1) nestling ages, significantly. Ultimately, the comparisons among species in the order showed that the vast majority of species were relatively similar in development times but that little data is available on parental behavior. The latter emphasizes the great need for more study of parental behavior in this order.

“…Current data on breeding biology and behavior have only been published from the study of one Premnornis nest (Dobbs et al 2003). Recent work has provided insights into the feeding and parental care roles of Premnoplex barbtails (Muñoz & Martin 2014, Port & Greeney 2015 and allows for comparisons of parental care and feeding behaviors with Premnornis. With several authors suggesting divergence between Premnornis, Premnoplex, and the Margarornis assemblage (Dobbs et al 2003, Areta 2007, further work on the breeding biology of this species is needed to provide a deeper understanding of the phylogenetic relationships within this group of little studied tropical montane ovenbirds.…”

Observations on Nesting Behavior of the Rusty‐winged Barbtail (Premnornis Guttuliger)

2017

∙ Little is known of the nesting and parental care behaviors of the Rusty‐winged Barbtail (Premnornis guttuliger) and its congeners. A single Rusty‐winged Barbtail nest with two nestlings located in tropical montane forest was filmed for 230 hours near the Yanayacu Biological Station in Ecuador. Recording began 14 November and continued through 8 December 2009 before nestlings fledged. We report the first observations of incubation and feeding behavior by individual parents. Colored leg bands and molecular sexing of one parent allowed for identification of individuals and the sex of the attending adults. Average visit duration, average number of visits per hour per nestling, and fecal sac removal rate were quantified by video analysis. Adults visited the nest an average of 3.97 ± 0.657 (SE) times per hour per nestling for an average 3.88 ± 0.41 min across the nestling period. Both parents visited the nest with male visits being more frequent but no difference in average visit duration. An average of 1.77 ± 0.120 fecal sacs per hour were removed from the nest by parents. Behavior at the nest was similar to previous studies and did not indicate additional similarity between Premnornis and members of the Margarornis clade. Resumen ∙ Observaciones sobre comportamiento de nidificación del Subepalo Alirrojizo (Premnornis guttuliger) Los comportamientos de nidificación y cuidado parental del Subepalo Alirrojizo (Premnornis guttuliger) y sus congéneres son poco conocidos. Un nido del Subepalo Alirrojizo con dos pichones fue filmado durante 230 horas en un bosque nublado cerca de la estación biológica Yanayacu en Ecuador. La grabación se realizó entre el 14 de noviembre y el 8 de diciembre de 2009 antes de que los polluelos abandonaran el nido. Estas son las primeras observaciones de incubación y alimentación de los padres marcados de manera individual. Anillamos un individuo que fue sexado en base a análisis genéticos y nos permitió separar la contribución de cada sexo en el cuidado de los polluelos. La duración promedio de las visitas al nido y el número de visitas por hora por polluelo, y la tasa de remoción de sacos fecales fueron cuantificados por análisis de video. Los adultos visitaron el nido una media de 3,97 ± 0.657 (EE) veces por hora/polluelo y cada visita duró un promedio de 3,88 ± 0,41 min. Tanto el macho como la hembra visitaron el nido. No encontramos diferencias significativas entre macho y hembra en la duración de las visitas, pero el macho visitó el nido más frecuentemente. Un promedio de 1,77 ± 0.120 sacos fecales por hora fueron retirados del nido por los padres. El comportamiento de nidificación concuerda con estudios previos y no indica semejanzas adicionales entre Premnornis y miembros del grupo Margarornis.
