Nest Predation and Brood Parasitism in Riparian Breeding Wilson's Warblers (Wilsonia pusilla chryseola)
No full textThe Pacific coast Wilson's warbler (Wilsonia pusilla chryseola) is a widespread and common Neotropical migrant breeding in moist coastal woodlands or along streams, from Santa Barbara County, California to southwestern British Colombia. Evidence of loca1 decline in breeding Pacific coast populations over the past few decades has been indicated from Breeding Bird Survey data. While these declines have been attributed in part to the loss of riparian breeding habitat, the role of cowbird parasitism and nest predation as contributing factors have not been elucidated.\ud
In this study, I examined the dynamics of brood parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds\ud
(Molothrus ater) and nest predation by various predatory vertebrates in Wilson's\ud
warblers. The first research object was, to document the occurrence and frequency of\ud
brood parasitism and nest predation in Wilson's warblers and second, to evaluate their\ud
effects on warbler reproductive success. I also investigated the influence of nest-site\ud
selection on the probability of both brood parasitism and nest predation. Finally, I\ud
applied a mathematical model predicting population trends for Wilson's warblers\ud
breeding in coastal riparian habitats in Marin County, California.\ud
During the breeding seasons of 1997 to 2000, nesting data was collected along Lagunitas Creek and Redwood Creek in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in coastal Marin County, California.\ud
Of the 90 warbler nests located and monitored, 30 nests were parasitized by cowbirds and 54 nests were preyed upon by various predatory vertebrates. Nest success, as calculated by the Mayfield method, was 7.65% for all sites and years combined. Brood parasitism\ud
and nest predation rates were similar across years at each site, and throughout the\ud
breeding season. Both cowbird parasitism and nest predation rates were highest at\ud
portions of the study sites closest to human habitation. Predation rates were higher\ud
during the brood rearing stage than during the egg laying and incubation stages.\ud
Reproductive success was lower in nests parasitized by cowbirds and significant\ud
reductions in clutch size, hatching success, hatchling number, fledging success, and\ud
fledgling number were observed. However, there were no significant differences in nest-site characteristics with respect to nest predation and cowbird parasitism. Based on estimates obtained from the population growth model, this regional population of\ud
Wilson's warbler constitutes a sink.\ud
These results suggest that Wilson's warblers breeding in coastal Marin County are at risk\ud
of local extirpation in the absence of immigration from source population. Low\ud
reproductive success appears to be the result of high levels on nest predation and brood parasitism. These results are compatible with other studies of nesting Success showing brood parasitism and nest predation to be the leading causes of nest mortality in songbird populations.The SSU Biology Alumni Student Research\ud
Fund, Sigma Xi Grants-In-Aid of Research Fund, and the SSU School of Natural\ud
Sciences Student Opportunity Fund provided financial support for this project
