Nesting Success and Parental Behavior of the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria Citrea) in Southwestern Missouri
… 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 were studied over …

The Nesting Biology & Parental Behavior of the Prothonotary Warbler, Protonotaria Citrea, in Southwestern Missouri
An evaluation of 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 …

An integrative approach to testing density effects in a migratory songbird, the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)
… 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 work in this system has …

DISTRIBUTION AND MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF AVIAN MALARIA VECTORS ON FOUR CENTRAL VIRGINIA PROTHONOTARY WARBLER (PROTONOTARIA CITREA) BREEDING SITES
Avian malaria is a devastating disease that has decimated numerous bird species. This study sought to identify the vectors of avian malaria at four central Virginia Prothonotary warbler breeding sites. Twenty one thousand mosquitoes were collected and Culex salinarius, Cx. erraticus, and Cx. …

Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) Plumage as an Indicator for Infection: the Relationship between Haemosporidia Infection and Breast Feather Reflectance in a Neotropical Migrant Passerine
… 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) infection and feather …

Natal dispersal and first-year survival in a neotropical migratory songbird
… dispersal distances in Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) breeding within a nest box study system covering a large area. Surveys outside the nest box study system (up to 30 km in all directions) supported the legitimacy of the dispersal pattern calculated from the nest box study. By …

Reproductive success of a generalist brood parasite predicts the rate of parasitism in the subsequent year
… 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 generalized linear mixed …

An Experimental Study of Behavioral Responses to Nest Predation and Brood Parasitism in a Migratory Songbird
… I studied populations of Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) in a fragmented bottomland forest during 1993--2000 and conducted field experiments to determine if these birds respond to brood parasitism and nest predation in ways that reduce the negative effects of each. Brood parasitism by …

Behavioral ecology of juvenile brown-headed cowbirds: implications for the evolution and maintenance of avian brood parasitism
… 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 cowbirds. Both site-wide …

Population Ecology and Foraging Behavior of Breeding Birds in Bottomland Hardwood Forests of the Lower Roanoke River
… breeding site fidelity of Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) in two different bottomland hardwood forest habitats of the lower Roanoke River in North Carolina. Older males (³ 2 yr old) were equally common in cypress-gum swamps and mixed oak hardwood levee forest. Pairing success and …
