摘要

In order to understand habitat selection in birds, it is important to know how individuals respond when encountering a variety of habitats during dispersal and must choose between them. However, very few field studies have addressed this question. We compared habitat selection of ortolan buntings Emberiza hortulana before and after dispersal events. In Norway, this species has a patchy distribution and breeds in different open habitats of which the two major ones are botanically distinct: raised peat bogs and forest clear-cuts on dry, sandy soil. There was no evidence that habitat selection of males after natal dispersal was influenced by natal habitat, and 83% changed vegetation type. Habitat selection was random when taking the availability of each vegetation type into account, both at the landscape level and among habitats encountered along likely dispersal routes. Habitat selection after breeding dispersal was not influenced by the habitat of the patch of origin, and 62-71% changed habitat during successive dispersal events. Changing habitat did not seem to affect pairing or breeding success, but decreased with age. Lifetime patterns of habitat selection indicated that the majority (86%) changed habitat one or more times. However, the proportion never changing habitat (14%) was significantly higher than expected if settlement after dispersal was random (5%), suggesting that the majority of males were flexible whereas a minority was habitat conservative. These results provide some of the first systematic evidence based on settlement decisions of individuals that habitat selection of birds can be flexible with regard to vegetation type.
