Nesting Success and Parental Behavior of the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria Citrea) in Southwestern Missouri
<p>The breeding biology and singing rates of Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) were studied in southwestern Missouri in 2014 and 2015, using wooden nesting boxes. Data were collected on clutch and brood sizes, the numbers of young fledged, parental care and male singing rates. Five pairs …

The Nesting Biology & Parental Behavior of the Prothonotary Warbler, Protonotaria Citrea, in Southwestern Missouri
… the nesting biology and parental behavior of the prothonotary warbler was conducted in southwestern Missouri using two types of artificial nesting boxes. Female prothonotary warblers laid significantly larger clutch sizes in their first clutch compared to their second. Of the 183 eggs laid, 150 …

An integrative approach to testing density effects in a migratory songbird, the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)
… of a population of cavity-nesting songbirds, the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea), in southern Illinois, USA. From 2008-2011, I experimentally manipulated the availability of nest boxes by establishing two low-density and two high-density subplots on each of two 40 ha sites. Previous …

DISTRIBUTION AND MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF AVIAN MALARIA VECTORS ON FOUR CENTRAL VIRGINIA PROTHONOTARY WARBLER (PROTONOTARIA CITREA) BREEDING SITES
… of avian malaria at four central Virginia Prothonotary warbler breeding sites. Twenty one thousand mosquitoes were collected and Culex salinarius, Cx. erraticus, and Cx. pipiens/restuans were found to be the dominant species at these sites. Geographic factors, such as crop land and forest …

Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) Plumage as an Indicator for Infection: the Relationship between Haemosporidia Infection and Breast Feather Reflectance in a Neotropical Migrant Passerine
… describes breast feather reflectance of adult Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) (n=169), insectivorous Neotropical migrant passerines, throughout the Ultraviolet (UV) and human visible light spectra and examines the relationship between Haemosporidia (pathogen causing Avian Malaria) …

Reproductive success of a generalist brood parasite predicts the rate of parasitism in the subsequent year
… nesting data for a highly suitable host, the prothonotary warbler (Protonotaria citrea). We recorded parasitism status (yes or no), number of cowbird eggs, and the number of host and cowbird fledglings for 3848 warbler nests from 1994-2010 in southern Illinois. Data were analyzed using a …

AVIAN COMMUNITIES MONITORED ALONG A SUCCESSIONAL CHRONOSEQUENCE IN BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD FORESTS IN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI ALLUVIAL VALLEY
… northern parula (<em>Setophaga americana</em>), prothonotary warbler (<em>Protonotaria citrea</em>), wood thrush (<em>Hylocichla mustelina</em>), and Acadian flycatcher (<em>Empidonax virescens</em>).</p> <p> Species richness and diversity were not significantly different among forest classes. …

Behavioral ecology of juvenile brown-headed cowbirds: implications for the evolution and maintenance of avian brood parasitism
… on the host’s phenotype. Next, I used a prothonotary warbler (Protonotaria citrea) nest box dataset, comprising 21 years (1994-2014), to demonstrate that fledgling cowbirds provide reliable information indicating host quality that is used in future egg-laying decisions of adult female …
