Cím:Necessity or capacity? Physiological state predicts problem-solving performance in house sparrows / Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Zoltán, Vágási István Csongor, Laura Patras, Pap Péter László, Németh József, Vincze Ernő, Papp Sándor, Preiszner Bálint, Seress Gábor, Liker András

Megjegyzések:Innovative behaviors such as exploiting novel food sources can grant significant fitness benefits for animals, yet little is known about the mechanisms driving such phenomena, and the role of physiology is virtually unexplored in wild species. Two hypotheses predict opposing effects of physiological state on innovation success. On one hand, poor physiological condition may promote innovations by forcing individuals with poor competitive abilities to invent alternative solutions. On the other hand, superior physiological condition may ensure greater cognitive capacity and thereby better problem-solving and learning performance. To test these hypotheses, we studied the behavior of wild-caught house sparrows (Passer domesticus) in 4 novel tasks of food acquisition, one of which was presented to the birds in repeated trials, and we investigated the relationships of individual performance with relevant physiological traits. We found that problem-solving performance across the 4 tasks was moderately consistent within individuals. Birds with lower integrated levels of corticosterone, the main avian stress hormone, solved the most difficult task faster and were more efficient learners in the repeated task than birds with higher corticosterone levels. Birds with higher concentration of total glutathione, a key antioxidant, solved 2 relatively easy tasks faster, whereas birds with fewer coccidian parasites tended to solve the difficult task more quickly. Our results, thus, indicate that aspects of physiological state influence problem-solving performance in a context-dependent manner, and these effects on problem-solving capacity, probably including cognitive abilities, are more likely to drive individual innovation success than necessity due to poor condition.

Cím:Male parental investment reflects the level of partner contributions and brood value in tree swallows / Lendvai Ádám Zoltán, Caglar Akcay, Mark Stanback, Mark F. Haussmann, Ignacio T. Moore, Fraces Bonier
Dátum:2018
ISSN:0340-5443
Megjegyzések:Biparental care presents an interesting case of cooperation and conflict between unrelated individuals. Several models have been proposed to explain how parents should respond to changes in each other's parental care to maximize their own fitness, predicting no change, partial compensation, or matching effort as a response. Here, we present an experiment in tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) in which we increased the offspring provisioning of females by presenting them, but not their mates, with additional nestling begging calls using automated playbacks. We performed this experiment in two populations differing in future breeding opportunities. We found that in response to a temporary increase in female parental effort, males in the northern population (with lower future breeding opportunities and thus higher brood value) matched the increased effort, whereas males in the southern population did not. We also found that increases in parental care during playbacks were driven by the females (i.e., females initiated the increased effort and their mates followed them) in the northern population but not the southern population. These results support the idea that with incomplete information about the brood value and need, cues or signals from the partner might become important in coordinating parental care.

Cím:Carotenoid-based plumage coloration reflects feather corticosterone levels in male house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) / Á. Z. Lendvai, M. Giraudeau, J. Németh, V. Bakó, K. J. McGraw
Dátum:2013
Megjegyzések:Indicator models of sexual selection predict thatexaggerated traits communicate information about sender conditionor quality to conspecific receivers. Environmental challengeshave often been considered as one such condition thatcould be encoded in an ornamental trait, and there is nowextensive evidence showing how different stressors (e.g., nutritional,parasitological, and environmental) impact sexual signalelaboration. One of the primary means of assessing stress is byquantifying glucocorticoid (corticosterone or cortisol (CORT))levels. For many ornaments, CORT impairs trait expression;however, the evidence is limited and mixed for one of theclassic honest signals in animals, ornamental carotenoid coloration.In a model species for studies of carotenoid ornamentation(the house finch, Haemorhous mexicanus), we examinedthe relationship between male plumage redness and featherCORT levels, which serve as an integratedmeasure of hormoneconcentration during feather growth. We measured CORT inboth tail (melanin-containing) and breast (carotenoid-containing)feathers and found that CORT levels were not differentbetween body regions, but they were negatively correlated withplumage hue, with redder birds having more CORT in feathers.Despite opposing traditional views on stress and ornamentation,our results actually corroborate three other studies showingpositive relationships between carotenoid coloration andCORT levels. Though the molecular mechanisms underlyingsuch a relationship are still unclear, our results suggest thatCORT should not be considered as a simple indicator of individualquality but rather as a mediator of complex allocationdecisions or signals of metabolic activity that could link up withmore elaborate expression of ornamental traits.

Cím:Conflict over parental care in house sparrows : do females use a negotiation rule? / Ádám Z. Lendvai, Zoltán Barta, Olivier Chastel
Dátum:2009
ISSN:1045-2249
Megjegyzések:Ho do parents resolve their conflict over parental care? The classical "sealed-bid" model of biparental care suggested that parents use a fixed best effort given the partner's effort. Alternatively, parents may "negotiate" their actual effort until the efforts of both partners settle down to limiting values, but in this case, the resulting efforts will not be the best responses to one another. Consequently, under the best response scenario, the response of 1 parent to the removal of its mate can be predicted from the response to a reduction in its partner's effort, whereas the "negotiation" model predicts that such an extrapolation will underestimate the effort of a parent caring alone. We tested this prediction in free-living house sparrows (Passer domesticus). We experimentally manipulated the males' parental care as follows: males' care in group 1) was reduced by using a capture-handling-release stress protocol, 2) stopped by removing the male, and 3) left as control. In response to these manipulations, control females kept their feeding rate constant, whereas male-stressed-released females showed a moderate increase of feeding rate. When this response was extrapolated to zero male effort, their effort was still significantly lower than the observed effort of male-removed females. These results suggest that females may use the negotiation rule to determine their actual parental effort.

Cím:Insulin-like growth factor 1 is related to the expression of plumage traits in a passerine species / Katharina Mahr, Orsolya Vincze, Zsófia Tóth, Herbert Hoi, Ádám Z. Lendvai
Dátum:2020
ISSN:0340-5443
Megjegyzések:Avian plumage colors and ornaments are excellent models to study the endocrine mechanisms linking sexually selected traits and individual parameters of quality and condition. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is an evolutionarily highly conserved peptide hormone. Its regulatory role in cell proliferation and differentiation and its high sensitivity to the nutritional state of individuals suggest it as an interesting candidate, possibly providing a link between body condition and individual capacity to grow elaborated ornamental features. We investigated whether IGF-1 levels during molting correlate with the expression of multiple ornaments in a sexually dichromatic passerine species, the bearded reedling (Panurus biarmicus). We collected blood samples of males and females shortly before the molting completed and measured the size and colors of ornamental traits. Our results indicate that in males, structural plumage colors, the size of the melanin-based ornament (beard), and tail length are independent traits. IGF-1 levels are associated with the length of the tail and the expression of male structural plumage components (UV coloration), but not the melanin-based ornament. In females, plumage color and tail length were independent traits, which were not related to IGF-1 levels. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first evidence that IGF-1 could play a role in the development of secondary sexual characters in a bird species.

Cím:Winter corticosterone and body condition predict breeding investment in a nonmigratory bird / Montreuil-Spencer, Chloé; Schoenemann, Kelsey; Lendvai, Ádám Z; Bonier, Frances
Dátum:2019
ISSN:1045-2249
Megjegyzések:Reproduction is an energetically demanding life history stage that requires costly physiological and behavioral changes, yet some individuals will invest more into reproduction and breed more successfully than others. To understand variation in reproductive investment, previous studies have evaluated factors during breeding, but conditions outside of this life history stage may also play a role. Using a free-ranging population of black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), we assessed the repeatability of plastic traits relating to energetic condition (circulating initial corticosterone concentrations and body condition) during the nonbreeding season and evaluated whether these traits predicted reproductive investment in the subsequent breeding season. We found that initial corticosterone concentrations and an index of body condition, but not fat score, were moderately repeatable over a 1-week period in winter. This trait repeatability supports the interpretation that among-individual variation in these phenotypic traits could reflect an intrinsic strategy to cope with challenging conditions across life history stages. We found that females with larger fat reserves during winter laid eggs sooner and tended to spend more time incubating their eggs and feeding their offspring. In contrast, we found that females with higher residual body mass delayed breeding, after controlling for the relationship between fat score and timing of breeding. Additionally, females with higher initial corticosterone in winter laid lighter eggs. Our findings suggest that conditions experienced outside of the breeding season may be important factors explaining variation in reproductive investment.

Cím:Parasites, mate attractiveness and female feather corticosterone levels in a socially monogamous bird / François Mougeot, Ádám Z. Lendvai, Jesús Martínez-Padilla, Lorenzo Pérez-Rodríguez, Mathieu Giraudeau, Fabián Casas, Ignacio T. Moore, Steve Redpath
Dátum:2016
ISSN:0340-5443
Megjegyzések:Stress is ubiquitous in the life of animals and a key determinant of their well-being and fitness. By quantifying levels of feather corticosterone in growing feathers (CORTf), we measured integrated stress responses in a monogamous game bird, the red grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticus. We investigated the effects of parasites and social mate choice on female CORTf levels during pairing, and tested the hypothesis that females with more parasites and paired with less attractive males have higher CORTf. We experimentally reduced nematode parasite abundance during pairing in females and investigated the effect of treatment on CORTf, while also considering the social mate`s phenotype (male comb size, as a proxy of sexual attractiveness). The treatment was effective at contrasting parasite loads between control and dosed females, but had no apparent effect on CORTf. In experimental females, reinfection rate after a month positively correlated with CORTf. We found no evidence of assortative mating based on size, condition or ornament size, but females paired with more attractive males (displaying bigger combs) had lower CORTf during pairing. Females for which parasite load was reduced had lower CORTf than control females at all levels of male attractiveness. Social mate choice therefore appears to be an important determinant of female integrated stress responses, which may in turn modulate reinfection rate and parasitism risk. An influence of male attractiveness on female stress may be part of an adaptive response allowing females to adjust reproductive investment to their achieved social mate choice.

Cím:Kinship and aggression: do house sparrows spare their relatives? / Tóth Zoltán, Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Z., Szabó Krisztián, Pénzes Zsolt, Liker András
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0340-5443 1432-0762
Megjegyzések:Kin-selection theory predicts that relatedness may reduce the level of aggression among competing group members, leading to indirect fitness benefits for kin-favoring individuals. To test this hypothesis, we investigated whether relatedness affects aggressive behavior during social activities in captive house sparrow (Passer domesticus) flocks. We found that sparrows did not reduce their aggression towards kin, as neither the frequency nor the intensity of fights differed between close kin and unrelated flock-mates. Fighting success was also unrelated to kinship and the presence of relatives in the flock did not influence the birds' dominance rank. These results suggest that the pay-offs of reduced aggression towards kin may be low in non-breeding flocks of sparrows, e.g. due to competition among relatives as predicted by a recent refinement of kin-selection theory. Our findings indicate that the significance of kin selection may be restricted in some social systems such as winter aggregations of birds.
