Aims To describe the breeding ecology of the Atlas Pied Flycatcher Ficedula speculigera in detail for the first time, in an old oak Quercus suber forest. Methods A total of 102 nests were monitored during 2010?2012. Breeding phenology, population density, clutch and brood sizes, egg biometrics, breeding losses and breeding success were accurately determined. Results The species arrived in the breeding area in late April. Population density was very high with 4.87 (±1.02) pairs/ha. Mean egg laying date (LD) was 19 May and CS averaged 4.92 eggs. Hatching and fledging success were 88.7% and 83.5%, respectively. The number of fledged young averaged 3.8 (±1.66) and decreased with LD (4.2?±?1.45 chicks fledged per nest at the start of the season versus 2.8?±?1.56 at the end). Conclusion Lower CS compared to Ficedula hypoleuca populations was compensated by relatively high fledging success, thereby ensuring overall reproductive success of this species. Moreover, the Atlas Pied Flycatchers seem to benefit from the lower seasonality in their food in the evergreen habitat.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brahimi, Z.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dziri, H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benyacoub, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chabi, Y.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banbura, J.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breeding ecology of Algerian woodchat shrikes Lanius senator: low breeding success</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FOLIA ZOOLOGICA</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">clutch size</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">egg size</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fledging success</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nesting</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nestling growth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">North Africa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">passerine</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">52</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">309 - 316</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breeding ecology of woodchat shrikes Lanius senator was investigated in the EL-Kala National Park in North-East Algeria (36degrees53'N; 8degrees30'E) in 1998-1999. Quercus suber was the tree species most frequently used as support for nests, which were constructed at a mean height of 5 m. First eggs in clutches were laid 7 May, and clutch size was 4.9. Approximately 42% eggs gave fledglings. Clutch size declined during the course of the breeding season but fledgling success did not. Fledging success was positively correlated with per clutch mean egg length and the height of the nest location above ground. We suggest that the major selective pressures that shape the life history of Algerian woodchat shrikes are relatively heave predation and poor food availability.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: KVETNA 8, BRNO 603 65, CZECH REPUBLIC&lt;br/&gt;publisher: INST VERTEBRATE BIOLOGY AS CR</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISENMANN, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ALES, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MORENO, O</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE TIMING OF BREEDING AND CLUTCH SIZE OF BLUE TITS (PARUS-CAERULEUS) IN AN EVERGREEN HOLM OAK HABITAT IN SOUTHERN SPAIN</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">REVUE D ECOLOGIE-LA TERRE ET LA VIE</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">blur tits</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">clutch size</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holm oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parus cearuleus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spain</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1990</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SOC NATL PROTECTION NATURE ACCLIMATATION FRANCE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">57 RUE CUVIER, 75005 PARIS 5, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">177-181</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></research-notes></record></records></xml>
