Dear colleagues,
I’m in desperate need of some data that I cannot seem to find in the literature…do any of you know whether these data exist or not? If so, could you point me in the right direction, please?
To preemptively answer some questions, yes, I’ve scoured Bob Ricklefs data on growth rates, and yes I have checked Anage for longevity records of these species.
I’m looking for:
Growth rates (K) for: Blue Jay, Blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, brown thrasher, Carolina wren, tufted titmouse, whippoorwill, ruby-throated hummingbird, mourning dove, Eastern wood pewee, Red-bellied woodpecker, Killdeer, blackduck, Mallard, Yellow-bellied sapsucker, Northern shoveler, wood duck, American wigeon, Northern mockingbird, Ostrich, black-billed cuckoo, Caribbean flamingo, rainbow lorikeet, buff-breasted wren, Black-bellied wren, Red-breasted blackbird, black-stripped sparrow, Red-throated tanager, Tropical mockingbird, Common parauque, great-tailed grackle, white-tipped dove, Mangrove warbler, Toddy flycatcher, Panamanian flycatcher, Northern scrub flycatcher, Red-crowned woodpecker, Southern rough winged swallow, Southern lapwing, bi-colored anti-bird, blue-crowned mot-mot, buff-throated saltator, spotted antbird, song wren, thick-billed seedfinch, white-bellied antbird, scaly throated leaftosser.
Longevity records for: Buff-breasted wren, black-bellied wren, Red-breasted blackbird, black-stripped sparrow, red-throated tanager, tropical mockingbird, common parauque, thick-billed euphonia, Mangrove warbler, Toddy flycatcher, Panamanian flycatcher, Northern scrub flycatcher, red-crowned woodpecker, Yellow-green vireo, barred ant-shrike , bi-colored ant-bird, blue-crowned mot-mot, buff-throated saltator, chesnut backed antbird, spotted antbird, song wren, thick-billed seedfinch, white-bellied antibird, Red-capped manakin, scaly throated leaftosser .
Thanks for ANY help!
Hi,
I have some links relating to growth rates of birds, hope it might be helpful. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1474-919X.1976.tb03065.x/full

Or, you can also search some ornithological journals . thank you.
