“…Strikingly, the great tit and the house sparrow are synanthropic species that are well adapted to human settlements. Their radiation and range expansion were strongly associated with man-made structures (a recent eastward expansion of great tits along the Trans-Siberian Railway; Kapitonova et al 2011) or with human commensalism in the sparrows (Saetre et al 2012). Like in the great tit example, hybridization among the two sparrow species in North Africa is very likely a quite recent process.…”

A stabilized hybrid form of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) and the Spanish sparrow (P. hispaniolensis) is known as Passer italiae from the Italian Peninsula and a few Mediterranean islands. The growing attention for the Italian hybrid sparrow and increasing knowledge on its biology and genetic constitution greatly contrast the complete lack of knowledge of the long‐known phenotypical hybrid sparrow populations from North Africa. Our study provides new data on the breeding biology and variation of mitochondrial DNA in three Algerian populations of house sparrows, Spanish sparrows, and phenotypical hybrids. In two field seasons, the two species occupied different breeding habitats: Spanish sparrows were only found in rural areas outside the cities and bred in open‐cup nests built in large jujube bushes. In contrast, house sparrows bred only in the town centers and occupied nesting holes in walls of buildings. Phenotypical hybrids were always associated with house sparrow populations. House sparrows and phenotypical hybrids started breeding mid of March, and most pairs had three successive clutches, whereas Spanish sparrows started breeding almost one month later and had only two successive clutches. Mitochondrial introgression is strongly asymmetric because about 75% of the rural Spanish sparrow population carried house sparrow haplotypes. In contrast, populations of the Italian hybrid form, P. italiae, were genetically least diverse among all study populations and showed a near‐fixation of house sparrow haplotypes that elsewhere were extremely rare or that were even unique for the Italian Peninsula. Such differences between mitochondrial gene pools of Italian and North African hybrid sparrow populations provide first evidence that different demographic histories have shaped the extant genetic diversity observed on both continents.

“…Работа написана на основе материалов по биологии и экологии синиц надвида Parus major, которые собрались в Приамурье с 2004 г. На наличие больших и восточных синиц обследовались различные населенные пункты Приамурья и их ближайшие окрестности, а также некоторые территории с естественными ландшафтами. В силу того, что перечень обследованных населенных пунктов большой, с ним можно ознакомиться в нашей прошлой публикации [7] [12].…”

“…Позже было обнаружено, что зона симпатрии и гибридизации шире, были первично описаны ее северная [10] и южная окраины, где есть своя специфика взаимоотношения видов. В настоящее время зона симпатрии и гибридизации известна в пределах Приамурья [7].…”

“…Как было показано, смешанные группировки с высоким уровнем гибридизации образуются в результате заселения большими синицами населенных пунктов, которые уже населены восточными. А разобщение видов и снижение уровня гибридизации происходит, когда большие синицы начинают преобладать и вытеснять восточных на окраины поселений человека [7,8,15].…”

The paper considers the phenological parameters of the great tit (Parus major) and Japanese tit (Parus minor) in Priamurye. In the cohabitation zone of these species, there are places where pronounced hybridization occurs and the areas where it fades and stabilizes. This leads to the zone of sympatry subdivision into three main parts: western, central, and eastern. To understand the phenomenon of hybridization in these parts, its changes and differences, the phenological parameters of the eastern tit were studied and compared with those of the great tit. For the Japanese tit, the author has determined the dates of pre-spring migrations, flight and appearance at nesting sites, spring singing of males, the period of courtship and struggle for females, nest construction and egg laying, incubation of clutches, the appearance of chicks and fledglings, late broods, and also autumn migrations. It is given the data on this species wintering in Priamurye. The same indicators are compared with those for the great tit. It is revealed that the great tit males begin to sing early – from the end of December to the beginning of January, still in wintering groups. The aspects of behavior preceding direct reproduction: courtship of males for females, struggle between males for females, begging for food from males by females in already established pairs, are also manifested in great tits in wintering groups when there is not yet the Japanese tit main population at breeding sites. The spring flight and mass appearance of the Japanese tit at nesting sites occurs since March, and pairs form in nesting sites in April. However, the indicators of direct reproduction in these species coincide in time.
