ABSTRACTNon-breeders are those sexually mature individuals that do not breed in a given reproductive cycle of a population. There is a widespread belief that the presence of non-breeders can affect the actual population dynamics, as well as the population responses to environmental change (Lee et al. 2017). Sternberg (1989), using demographic data, has shown that 83% and 62% of males and females, respectively, do not breed in the first year of life in the Lower Saxony (Germany) population of the European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca). Later, with experimental removal of males, it has been proven that in the Lower Saxony and Moscow Region (Russia) populations, there are many non-breeding males (Sternberg et al. 2002). For the Netherlands population of the European Pied Flycatcher, the presence of a large number of non-breeders has been demonstrated using experimental removals for both males and females (Both et al. 2017). Here we have estimated the number of non-breeders in the Western Siberian population of the European Pied Flycatcher using demographic data (11 cohorts from 2001 to 2011 of birth) and experimental removal of males. We have shown that both males and females can start to breed at the age of one to five years. The proportion of non-breeders can be 59.5% and 68.5% for first-year males and females, respectively. We discuss the differences in the proportion of non-breeders between the Western Siberian and European populations of the European Pied Flycatcher, as well as factors affecting the number of non-breeders.
