[图书][B] Molt in Neotropical birds: Life history and aging criteria
EI Johnson, JD Wolfe - 2017 - taylorfrancis.com
Molt is an important avian life history event in which feathers are shed and replaced. The
timing, duration, seasonality, extent and pattern of molt follows certain strategies and this …

Application of a global age-coding system (“WRP”), based on molts and plumages, for use in demographic and other studies of birds
Determination of a bird's age or cohort is critical for studies on avian demography,
occurrence patterns, behavior, and conservation management. Age designations have …

Changes in the apparent survival of a tropical bird in response to the El Niño Southern Oscillation in mature and young forest in Costa Rica
The effects of habitat alteration and climatic instability have resulted in the loss of bird
populations throughout the globe. Tropical birds in particular may be sensitive to climate and …

Habitat use of Amazonian birds varies by age and foraging guild along a disturbance gradient
Patterns of habitat use directly influence a species' fitness, yet for many species an
individual's age can influence patterns of habitat use. However, in tropical rainforests, which …
