▼a My dissertation research tests the previously untested idea that heterospecific competition functions as an important selective force on group size in cooperatively breeding birds, using experimental approaches with the Brown-headed nuthatch (BHNU) (Sitta pusilla). We know from prior work that the western bluebird, which is much larger, excludes nuthatches from nesting sites (Stanback 2011). I tested the following explicit hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Inter-specific competition selects for increased group size (more individuals helping or co-breeding) in BHNU and may even be sufficient to select for helping. Hypothesis 2: BHNU groups collectively defend against nest competitors, and collectively monitor their nest sites to chase away intruders.I studied the effect of interspecific competition on the fitness consequences of cooperative breeding using an experimental design that involved creating high and low competition sites on golf courses. Half of each course was randomly assigned to the high and low heterospecific competition treatments |
