摘要

In territorial animals occupying environments that vary in quality over the landscape, high-quality individuals are predicted to monopolize high-quality territories. Thus, in many cases it may be difficult to disentangle the relative effects of individual quality from those of territory quality on long-term fitness. We used a 9-year field data set from a migratory population of Eastern Song Sparrows (Melospiza melodia mehdia (A. Wilson, 1810)) to evaluate the relative contributions of male song quality (as measured by song repertoire size) and territory location to fitness components including annual reproductive success, overwinter return rates, and between-year territory tenure. Song repertoire size did not predict territory location, allowing usto evaluate territory location and song quality separately. Song repertoire size, but not territory location, predicted annual reproductive success. Moreover, males with larger repertoires moved smaller distances between subsequent breeding seasons, suggesting more successful territory tenure. There was no effect of either repertoire size or territory location on overwinter return. We conclude that intrinsic male phenotype, indicated by song repertoire size, is an important predictor of male fitness, independent of breeding-territory location in this migratory population, and that the value of specific territories may depend largely on previous experience.

Wilson,1810))的迁徙种群的9年现场数据集来评估雄性歌曲质量的相对贡献(以歌曲库大小衡量)和领土位置对健身要素包括年度生殖成功,越冬回报率和年间领土使用权。歌曲曲目大小无法预测地区位置,因此我们可以分别评估地区位置和歌曲质量。宋曲目的大小,但不是领土位置,预测了年度繁殖成功。此外,具有较大保留曲目的雄性在随后的繁殖季节之间移动的距离更短,这表明该地区的保有权更成功。曲目的大小或地区位置对越冬返回没有影响。我们得出的结论是,内在的雄性表型(由歌曲库大小指示)是雄性适应性的重要预测指标,与该迁徙人口的繁殖地区位置无关,并且特定地区的价值可能很大程度上取决于先前的经验。
