A study of the relationship of DDE to reproductive success of an inland breeding population of common terns. Sterna hirundo, had been carried out in 1969 and 1970 at Chip Lake, Alberta. Although a continuing decrease of DDE residues in eggs bad occurred, eggshell thickness remained unchanged. In addition, reproductive success markedly increased in 1970; however, the percentage of eggs suffering breakage did not change between years. Low correlations between DDE and eggshell thickness or weight in both years suggest that DDE is unrelated to these eggshell parameters, which in turn are not related to reproductive success in this population.

SUMMARYWe report experimental data comparing the effects of Mesostigmatid mites and Ischnoceran lice on the reproductive performance of a single group of captive rock doves (Columba livia). Several components of host reproductive success were compared for the two groups, including number of eggs laid, hatching success, nestling growth rates, fledging success, post-fledging body mass and survival. Adult body mass and survival were also compared. There was a dramatic difference in the effects of the mites and lice. The former drove host reproductive success to zero, mainly by agitating adults and causing them to incubate eggs less faithfully. Nestling growth rates and post-fledging survival were also significantly reduced by mites. Lice showed no effect on reproductive success whatsoever, even though the feather damage they cause is known to have energetic consequences (Booth, Clayton & Block, 1993). Neither parasite had a significant effect on adult birds. Although Ischnocera are found on most species of birds, our results for lice constitute the first experimental test of the impact of Ischnocera on avian reproductive success (preliminary report by Clayton & Tompkins, 1994). We discuss reasons for the different effects of mites and lice, including the relationship of horizontal (mites) and vertical (lice) transmission to the evolution of virulence.

Source Of Information

The life history of a species can be considered the main source of information about it, parameters such as incubation period, number of eggs and chicks, may represent the aptitude of individuals in relation to the environment, modified or not. Thus information from the reproductive success of a species allows evaluating the relationship of individuals to environmental changes. This study aimed to assess the reproductive success of three different populations of Buff-necked ibis, Theristicus caudatus, in Araucaria Plateau. The groups were followed in the reproductive season of 2011, three breeding which had environmental characteristics different from each other. We used three methods to determine the reproductive success: apparent success, hatching rate of eggs and protocol of Mayfield. In 600 hours of observation during the reproductive period, approximately 200 hours for each group, there was an average of 1.87 ± 0.74 eggs per nest. The apparent success and the protocol of Mayfield showed proportional differences between the groups. The environment where individuals were nesting in group B can be considered a compromise between the characteristics of other groups, with anthropogenic characteristics that draw predators away from nests and feeding areas, while feeding sites has reduced external influences.
