Body size mediates life history, physiology and inter- intra-specific interactions. Within species, sexes frequently differ in size, reflecting divergent selective pressures and/or constraints. Both sexual selection differences environmentally mediated reproductive constraints can drive dimorphism, but empirically testing causes of dimorphism is challenging. Manakins (Pipridae), a family Neotropical birds comprising approximately 50 exhibit broad range from male- to female-biased are...
Despite the importance of tropical birds in development life history theory, we lack information about demographic rates and drivers population dynamics for most species. We used a 7-year (2007–2013) capture-mark-recapture dataset from an exceptionally wet premontane forest at mid-elevation Costa Rica to estimate apparent survival seven species passerines. For four these species, provide first published parameters. Recapture probabilities ranged 0.21 0.53, annual estimates varied 0.23 1.00....
Secondary contact between closely related taxa represents a “moment of truth” for speciation—an opportunity to test the efficacy reproductive isolation that evolved in allopatry and identify genetic, behavioral, and/or ecological barriers separate species sympatry. Sex chromosomes are known rapidly accumulate differences species, an effect may be exacerbated neo-sex transitioning from autosomal sex-specific inheritance. Here we report that, Solomon Islands, two bird honeyeater family—...
Abstract Secondary contact between closely related taxa represents a “moment of truth” for speciation. Removal geographic barriers allows us to test the strength reproductive isolation that evolved in allopatry and identify genetic, behavioral, and/or ecological separate species sympatry. Sex chromosomes are known rapidly accumulate differences species, an effect may be exacerbated neo-sex because they regions genome have recently become linked sex transitioning from autosomal sex-specific...
Tropical animals respond to rainfall in population-specific ways. In extremely wet regions, endotherms experience heavy rains as stressors with consequences for behavior and demography. Ultimately, such can affect the relative strength of abiotic selection, reducing scope sexual other biotic sources selection. We studied population-level differences response White-ruffed manakins (Corapipo altera) on Caribbean slope Costa Rica, a species having lek mating system subject strong Between 2008...
