Mixed-species flock size affects contact call frequencies of the crested tit, Lophophanes cristatus

Ääntelemällä tapahtuva kommunikointi voi altistaa linnut saalistukselle, koska pedot voivat paikantaa saaliseläimet ääntelyn perusteella.

description Ääntelemällä tapahtuva kommunikointi voi altistaa linnut saalistukselle, koska pedot voivat paikantaa saaliseläimet ääntelyn perusteella. Yksi mahdollinen tapa suojautua saalistajilta on liittyminen parviin. Parveutuminen voi vaikuttaa ääntelyfrekvensseihin lisääntyneen parvensisäisen kommunikointitarpeen kautta, mutta myös koska ääntely suuremmissa parvissa voi olla saalistusriskin suhteen turvallisempaa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkin lajienvälisen sekaparven koon vaikutusta töyhtötiaisen pitkän etäisyyden kommunikointiin yleensä, parven sisäiseen kommunikointiin ja parvien väliseen reviirinpuolustuskommunikointiin. Tutkimusmenetelmänä oli töyhtötiaisparvien tarkkailu luonnollisissa olosuhteissa. Pitkän etäisyyden kommunikointi kokonaisuudessaan sekä parven sisäisen kommunikoinnin ja reviirinpuolustuskommunikoinnin frekvenssit olivat positiivisesti riippuvaisia sekaparven koosta. Tulokset osoittavat, että parvensisäinen kommunikointi on positiivisesti riippuvainen parvikoosta, todennäköisesti koska parven sisäinen kommunikointitarve kasvaa parvikoon myötä. Tulokset myös viittaavat siihen, että parvien välinen reviirinpuolustuskommunikointi on riippuvainen sekaparven koosta. Esitän, että tämä on seurausta suurempien parvien pienemmästä saalistusriskistä. Vocal communication can subject birds to increased predation risk, due to predators homing in on conspicuous vocalizations. One potential way to decrease predation risk is flocking. Flocking may affect vocalization frequencies due to increased intra-flock communication needs, but also because vocalizations in large flocks may be less costly in terms of predation risk. In this study, I examined the relationship between mixed-species flock size and long range call rates generally and the effect on intra-flock and territorial call rates of the crested tit. The general methodology of the study was direct observation of crested tit flocks in natural conditions. Call rates generally and both intra-flock and territorial call rates were affected by mixed-species flock size. The results show that intra-flock communication frequency is positively dependent on mixed-species flock size, most likely due to increased needs for communication in large flocks. The results also suggest that crested tit territorial communication rates are dependent on mixed-species flock size. I suggest that this is due to the decreased predation risk in larger flocks.
