Effects of food supplementation on female nest attentiveness and incubation mate feeding in two sympatric wren species
Winter Wren (Troglodytes hiemalis) Science Article 2 abstract We examined effects of incubation mate feeding on female incubation behavior and correlates of fitness by providing female Bewick’s Wrens (Thryomanes bewickii) and House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) with food supplements. Males of these species vary in their rates of feeding; Bewick’s Wrens feed their incubating mates frequently, …

SEASONAL MIGRATION AND GENETIC POPULATIONSTRUCTURE IN HOUSE WRENS
House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) Science Article 2 abstract Neotropical migrant birds have undergone significant changes in population size, due in part to alterations in the landscape in their breeding range. Some alterations have resulted in the isolation of areas containing optimal habitat for breeding. Isolation between habitat fragments could reduce gene flow between populations, which …

GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION AND TAXONOMY INTHE HOUSE WREN SPECIES GROUP
House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) Science Article 4 abstract The current taxonomic status of the Trogliodytes aedon (House Wren) species group was evaluated by examining levels and patterns of isozyme differentiation. Traditionally,three major taxonomic groups of continental House Wrens have been recognized: (1) aedon (Northern House-Wren); (2) brunneicollis (Brown-throated Wren); and (3) musculus (Southern House-Wren). The …

Skeletal Development at the Time of Fledging in House Wrens
House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) Science Article 1 abstract We examined skeletal development at the time of first flight in House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) as one step in assessing whether calcium availability limits nestling growth in this species. Young wrens begin flying with about 49 mg of calcium in their skeletons, 30% less calcium than is …
