A big-scale
experiment on habitat
quality and reproductive
success of wetland passerines was undertaken
|
•
Research outline
|
A
lottery
model
for
the mating system of Savi's Warbler (Locustella
luscinioides; la
Locustelle luscinioïde; Rohrschwirl) was
developed
|
•
Group members '06
|
We
studied
whether
monogamy
and infidelity in Reed buntings (Emberiza
schoeniclus; le Bruant des
roseaux; Rohrammer) were adaptive
traits. A two-stage model of sexual selection could explain the
evolutionary stable strategy (ESS)
observed in Reed warblers |
•
Methods used
|
We
searched
for
an
explanation of the intense dawn chorus of Reed
buntings; the males
emanated a particular dawn song type that is thought to be exploited by
females to judge the genetic quality of extra-pair males |
