Cím:Innovative females are more promiscuous in great tits (Parus major) / Bókony Veronika, Pipoly Ivett, Szabó Krisztián, Preiszner Bálint, Vincze Ernő, Papp Sándor, Seress Gábor, Hammer Tamás, Liker András

Megjegyzések:Individual variation in the propensity to express innovative behaviors is increasingly recognized as ecologically and evolutionarysignificant. A growing number of studies show that more innovative individuals can realize higher breeding success, indicating thatinnovativeness may be important in mating decisions. Here we investigated whether male and female performance in innovative problem-solving tasks is linked to sexual selection via extra-pair mating behavior. We observed the problem-solving success of great tit(Parus major) pairs in 2 tasks at the nest, and related it to the occurrence of extra-pair paternity (EPP) in their broods. In a food-acquisitiontask, we found no difference in EPP among pairs in which the male solved, pairs in which the female solved, and unsuccessfulpairs. In an obstacle-removal task that was solved almost exclusively by females, EPP was more frequent in broods of solver femalesthan in broods of unsuccessful females. These results do not support the hypothesis that the social male's innovativeness influencesthe female's extra-pair mating behavior. Instead, they suggest that the female's infidelity covaries positively with her innovativeness.Furthermore, EPP was related to both parents' neophobia such that pairs of highly neophobic individuals were less likely to have EPPthan pairs that contained at least one individual with low neophobia. These findings indicate that promiscuity is associated with certainbehavioral phenotypes, suggesting that both innovativeness and novelty seeking may facilitate the investment into and/or the exposureto extra-pair mating attempts.

Cím:Genetic relatedness in wintering groups of house sparrows (Passer domesticus) / Liker András, Bókony Veronika, Kulcsár Anna, Tóth Zoltán, Szabó Krisztián, Kaholek Balázs, Pénzes Zsolt
Dátum:2009

Megjegyzések:Social behaviour of group-living animals is often influenced by the relatedness ofindividuals, thus understanding the genetic structure of groups is important for theinterpretation of costs and benefits of social interactions. In this study, we investigatedgenetic relatedness in feeding aggregations of free-living house sparrows (Passerdomesticus) during the nonbreeding season. This species is a frequent model system forstudies of social behaviour (e.g. aggression, social foraging), but we lack adequateinformation on the kin structure of sparrow flocks. During two winters, we ringed andobserved sparrows at feeding stations, and used resightings to identify stable flock-members and to calculate association indices between birds. We genotyped the birdsusing seven highly polymorphic microsatellite loci, and estimated pairwise relatednesscoefficients and relatedness categories (close kin vs. unrelated) by maximum likelihoodmethod. We found that most birds were unrelated to each other in the flocks (mean ? SErelatedness coefficient: 0.06 ? 0.002), although most individuals had at least a few closerelatives in their home flock (14.3 ? 0.6% of flock-mates). Pairwise association betweenindividuals was not significantly related to their genetic relatedness. Furthermore, therewas no difference between within-flock vs. between-flock relatedness, and birds hadsimilar proportions of close kin within and outside their home flock. Finally, relatednessamong members of different flocks was unrelated to the distance between their flocks.Thus, sparrow flocks were not characterized by association of relatives, nevertheless thepresence of some close kin may provide opportunity for kin-biased behaviours to evolve.

Cím:Effects of Extreme Weather on Reproductive Success in a Temperate-Breeding Songbird / Pipoly Ivett, Bókony Veronika, Seress Gábor, Szabó Krisztián, Liker András
Dátum:2013
ISSN:1932-6203
Megjegyzések:The frequency of extreme meteorological events such as heat waves and rainstorms is predicted to increase withclimate change. However, there is still little information about how extreme weather influences reproduction inanimals. It may not only affect breeding success but might also alter offspring sex ratio if males and females aredifferentially sensitive to meteorological conditions during development. We investigated the relationship betweenmeteorological conditions and reproductive success over 6 years in a house sparrow population in central Europe.We found that hatching success increased with the number of extremely hot days (daily maximum >31?C) anddecreased with the number of extremely cold days (<16?C) during incubation, although the latter effect held only forclutches with relatively short incubation periods. Fledging success was unrelated to weather variables. However, thefrequency of extremely hot days had a negative effect on fledglings' body mass and tarsus length, although both ofthese traits were positively related to average temperature. Additionally, fledglings' body mass increased with thelength of period without rainfall before fledging. Male to female ratio among fledglings did not differ from 1:1 and didnot vary with weather variables. The magnitude of the effects of extreme meteorological events was usually small,although in some cases comparable to those of ecologically relevant predictors of reproductive success. Our resultsindicate that meteorological conditions have complex effects on breeding success, as the effects of extreme weathercan differ between different aspects of reproduction and also from the effects of overall meteorological conditions.

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.

Cím:Whom do the sparrows follow? The effect of kinship on social preference in house sparrow flocks / Tóth Zoltán, Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Z., Szabó Krisztián, Pénzes Zsolt, Liker András
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0376-6357
Megjegyzések:Non-aggressive social interactions between group-mates, e.g. maintenance of spatial proximity or activity synchrony are basic elements of a species' social structure, and were found to be associated with important fitness consequences in group-living animals. In the establishment of such affiliative relationships, kinship has often been identified as one of the key predictors, but this has rarely been studied in simple social groups such as flocks of gregarious birds. In this study we investigated whether kinship affects social preference, as measured by the tendency to associate with others during various social activities, in captive house sparrow (Passer domesticus) flocks where birds could interact with differently related flock-mates. We found that preference between flock-mates was correlated with familiarity from early nestling period: same-brood siblings followed their sib initiating new activities more often than non-sib birds. The strength of association between birds also tended to correlate with genetic relatedness, but this was mainly due to the effect of siblings' affiliation. Thus we concluded that house sparrows prefer the company of their siblings during social activities even well after fledging, which may facilitate kin-biased behaviours.

Cím:Effects of relatedness on social-foraging tactic use in house sparrows / Tóth Zoltán, Bókony Veronika, Lendvai Ádám Z., Szabó Krisztián, Pénzes Zsolt, Liker András
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0003-3472
Megjegyzések:Kin selection is often important in the evolution of reproductive behaviour, but we know much less about its significance for nonreproductive social groups. We investigated whether relatedness affects social-foraging behaviour in captive house sparrow, Passer domesticus, flocks, where birds may either search for food or exploit flockmates' food findings by scrounging. In such systems, both increased and decreased frequency of scrounging from relatives can be predicted by kin selection theory, depending on the relative costs and benefits of exploiting close kin. We found that birds used aggressive joining less often and obtained less food by that tactic from their close kin than from unrelated flockmates. In nonaggressive joinings, males also tended to join less often and obtained less food from close kin flockmates than from unrelated birds, whereas an opposite trend was found in females. Close kin males also spent less time feeding together from the same food patch than unrelated males, further suggesting reduced exploitation by male kin. These results suggest that house sparrows are able to recognize their close kin flockmates and reduce aggressive scrounging towards them, and that the sexes may differ in some forms of kin exploitation.
