“…Jordano 1985, Rodriguez et al 1986, Herrera 1988) also support this view. However, high percentages of ringed Blackcaps recovered in the same area in subsequent winters (Herrera & Rodriguez 1979, Finlayson 1980, Ioal6 &Benvenuti 1983, Cuadrado 1992) suggest a strong site fidelity and a less important role of food resources in site selection.…”

Fidelity to previous wintering areas (i.e. site fidelity) has important ecological and evolutionary implications. However, since the percentage of recaptures of ringed birds at the same wintering area in subsequent years does not allow the estimation of the proportion of birds alive that exhibit site fidelity, previous studies on different passerine species have failed to show the true extent of this site fidelity. Here we use a recent approach, based on the comparison of survival rate estimates from capture‐recapture data at single field stations with recovery data from a much larger area. The idea is to determine the proportion of birds still alive that return to the area. The study was carried out on the Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla, comparing the capture‐recapture data of two field stations (Pilas [SW] and Tiana [NE]) situated 1000 km apart in Spain with the complete winter recovery data of the Spanish Ringing Office. Totals of 1936 and 3976 Blackcaps were ringed at Pilas (1981–1986) and Tiana (1975–1986), respectively, and the numbers of recaptures in subsequent winters were 94 and 34. The pooled annual survival rate estimation based on the two sites is 0.40 (s.e. = 0.05). The annual survival rate estimated from the Spanish ringing recovery data was 0.48 (s.e. = 0.08), which is not significantly different. We can conclude, therefore, that migrant Blackcaps in Spain, if alive, tend to return year after year to the previous wintering site.

“…Winter recurrence, a phenomenon recently found in several species of Old World passerines wintering in the Medditeranean (Herrera and Rodriguez 1979, Benvenuti and Ioalè 1980, Finlayson 1980), was demonstrated for Wrynecks, too (Tab. 1).…”

“…Wintering or stopover site fidelity has been demonstrated at various sites in the Mediterranean (Finlayson, 1980;Herrera and Rodriguez, 1979;L6vei et 01., 1986;Benvenuti and Iolae 1980) (see Table I). Very few data are available from possible stopover sites in Asia or Africa.…”

QL671.C87 598'.05-dcl9 84-640616 [8509] AACR 2 MARC-S ISBN 978-1-4757-9920-0 ISBN 978-1-4757-9918-7 (eBook) v PREFACEThis edited series has three principal goals. The first is to provide information in a relatively concise way for researchers needing an overview of specific disciplines. The second is to provide an update on specific schools of thought, bringing together ideas from colleagues whose works often appear in a variety of journals. And the third is to stimulate and suggest directions for new research. Volume 6 continues the tradition established by the previous editor and editorial board in providing new information, updating our understanding of specific disciplines, and stimulating new research. In the first chapter, Randall Breitwisch examines mortality patterns and sex ratios in monogamous birds. He argues that there are many more components to measuring parental investment than are often realized; our knowledge is weak in several areas. Understanding the evolution of mating systems depends on better distinguishing the different intensities of natural selection that operate on males and females. Gregory Butcher and Sievert Rohwer develop a framework for assessing the role of colorfulness in birds. They propose several hypotheses to test and advocate evaluating more than one hypothesis at a time. Future work on the evolution of distinctive coloration and of sexual and age dimorphism must take these ideas into account.Paul Kerlinger and Frank Moore examine the structure of the atmosphere (e.g., thermals, winds, temperature) as it may be relevant to avian migration. They develop the hypothesis that atmospheric structure is an important force in natural selection for timing and altitude of migration. A comparison is made with other presumed selective vii viii PREFACE influences, such as predation and competition. Gabor Lovei of Hungary shares his review of passerine migration between the Palaearctic and Africa, allowing comparisons to be made with the Nearctic-Neotropical system. Geographic barriers for birds migrating from Europe and Asia to Africa are greater than those existing between North and South America; these barriers influence the patterns of passerine migration.Noel and Helen Snyder summarize their knowledge of the biology of the California Condor and the history and issues that led to conservation efforts and capture of the last remaining birds. They reveal the fascinating undercurrent of politics and interactions driving the development of decisions affecting endangered species. The prospects ahead for captive breeding and release of condors in the wild, and the ultimate goals for condor conservation, are addressed. Jerry Waldvogel concludes the volume with an excellent syno...
