Abstract

AbstractI examined the hypothesis that male Ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapillus) make breeding dispersal decisions based on prior breeding experience at a site. I determined the reproductive success of color-banded male Ovenbirds at sites in fragmented and unfragmented landscapes in Missouri from 1992–1995. I documented which individuals returned and I recorded their reproductive success upon return as well as the success of birds new to each plot. I obtained similar results in both landscapes. Males with different histories of reproductive success returned at different rates. Only 2 of 22 males that were paired but failed to raise young returned in the following year, whereas the return rates of unpaired males (41%, n = 37) and males that successfully raised young (54%, n = 57) did not differ significantly (P = 0.19). The patterns were more consistent with the hypothesis that return rates were due to decisions about dispersal rather than difference in survival of individuals in these groups.El Éxito Reproductivo Previo Afecta Índices de Regreso de Machos Territoriales de Seiurus aurocapillusResumen. Examiné la hipótesis de que individuos de Seiurus aurocapillus hacen decisiones de dispersión reproductiva basadas en las experiencias reproductivas previas en un sitio. Determiné el éxito reproductivo de machos con anillos de color en lugares en terrenos fragmentados y no fragmentados de Missouri entre 1992 y 1995. Documenté cuáles individuos regresaron y su éxito reproductivo al regresar, y también el éxito de pájaros nuevos en cada sitio. Obtuve resultados semejantes en ambos paisajes. Los machos con historias de éxito reproductivo diferentes presentaron índices de regreso diferentes. Solamente 2 de 22 machos apareados que no produjeron cría volvieron al año siguiente, mientras que los índices de regreso de machos no apareados (41%, n = 37) y de los machos que produjeron crías exitosamente (54%, n = 57) no difirieron significativamente (P = 0.19). Los patrones concuerdan más con la hipótesis de que los índices de regreso se deberieron a las decisiones de dispersión y no a la diferencia de supervivencia de individuos en estos grupos.
