| [brood parasitism and egg mimicry on brownish-flanked bush warbler (cettia fortipes) by lesser cuckoo (cuculus poliocephalus)]. | nest fate of brownish-flanked bush warbler (cettia fortipes) was conducted in breeding seasons from 1999 to 2009 in kuankuoshui natural reserve, guizhou province. predation rate, parasitism rate, hatching success, nesting success and reproductive success were surveyed and egg color was quantified using spectrophotometer. principal component analysis, reflectance spectrum and robinson project were used to analyze the egg color of bush warbler and egg mimicry of lesser cuckoo (cuculus poliocephalu ... | 2010 | 20979259 |
| acoustic identification of individuals within large avian populations: a case study of the brownish-flanked bush warbler, south-central china. | acoustic identification is increasingly being used as a non-invasive method for identifying individuals within avian populations. however, most previous studies have utilized small samples of individuals (<30). the feasibility of using acoustic identification of individuals in larger avian populations has never been seriously tested. in this paper, we assess the feasibility of using distinct acoustic signals to identify individuals in a large avian population (139 colour-banded individuals) of b ... | 2012 | 22880018 |
| territory tenure increases with repertoire size in brownish-flanked bush warbler. | song repertoire size is often cited as a classic example of a secondary sexual trait in birds. models of sexual selection and empirical tests of their predictions have often related secondary sexual traits to longevity. however, the relationship between repertoire size and longevity is unclear. using capture-mark-recapture studies in two populations of the brownish-flanked bush warbler cettia fortipes, we found that males with a repertoire size of three maintained territory tenure for a longer d ... | 2015 | 25822524 |
