Nest aggregation and reproductive synchrony promote Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni seasonal fitness

Rosanna Di Maggio; Daniela Campobello; Maurizio Sarà

AbstractSeveral factors promote coloniality by enhancing the fitness of colony members. In birds, spatial proximity among nests, breeder abundance and reproductive synchrony have been proposed as primary factors responsible for enhanced colonial defence and foraging success, which, in turn, enhance reproductive success. Whether these factors function synergistically or antagonistically remains, however, an open question due to the absence of an integrated analysis of their effects on fitness. We studied a large population of the Lesser Kestrel, Falco naumanni, a facultative colonial species, breeding in colonies of different sizes in their typical pseudo-steppe habitat. We quantified both the singular and interactive effects of nest distance, breeder abundance and reproductive synchrony on kestrel fitness measured as the time to survival of eggs to hatching and nestlings to fledging. Egg survival increased as reproductive stages became more synchronous with the timing of colony breeding, whereas nestling survival benefited from a higher synchrony with most nests in the entire population. Nestling survival was also positively affected by the interaction between nest distance and breeder abundance. Our results suggest that the presence of additional breeders in the colony is not sufficient per se, to trigger colonial advantages, but instead, that synchronised reproduction among multiple breeding pairs nesting in close spatial proximity is necessary to realise those benefits. Our findings provide a novel perspective for future investigations that explore the mechanisms underlying fitness variation among Lesser Kestrel colonies and group-living species in general.ZusammenfassungNesterhäufung und reproduktive Synchronie begünstigen die saisonale Fitness beim RötelfalkenFalco naumanni Verschiedene Faktoren begünstigen die Koloniebildung durch die Optimierung der Fitness der einzelnen Koloniemitglieder. Es wurde angenommen, dass für die Koloniebildung bei Vögeln die räumliche Trennung der Nester, die Anzahl der Brüter, als auch die Synchronisierung der Reprodution primäre Faktoren darstellen für eine verbesserte Koloniebehauptung und Nahrungssuche und somit auch den Erfolg der Fortpflanzung begünstigen. Ob diese Faktoren synergistisch oder antisynergistisch wirken bleibt soweit offen, da bisher noch keine integrative Analyse auf deren Effekte auf die Fitness durchgeführt wurde. In dieser Studie wurde eine groβe Population des Rötelfalken, Falco naumanni, untersucht, eine fakultativ koloniebildende Art, die in verschiedenen Koloniegröβen in einem steppenartigen Habitat lebt. Quantifiziert wurden sowohl singuläre als auch interaktive Effekte der Nestdistanz, Brüter Häufigkeit und der reproduktiven Synchronie auf die Fitness der Rötelfalken, gemessen an der Überlebensrate der Eier, der Zeit vom Schlüpfen bis zum Nestling und zum Flüggewerden. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Überlebensrate der Eier mit der Synchronisierung des Nistens in der Kolonie steigt, wohingegen das Überleben der Nestlinge ansteigt mit der Synchronisierung des Nistens der gesamten Population. Das Überleben der Nestlinge war auβerdem positive beeinflusst von der Interaktion zwischen dem Abstand der Nester und der Abundanz der Brüter. Unsere Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, dass die Anwesenheit zusätzlicher Brüter in der Kolonie allein nicht ausreicht, den Erfolg der Kolonie positiv zu beeinflussen, sondern dass stattdessen die synchronisierte Reproduktion vieler Brutpaare die in enger Nachbarschaft nisten, dafür von Nöten ist. Unsere Ergebnisse weisen neue Perspektiven für zukünftige Forschungsansätze auf, die sich mit den Mechanismen der Fitnessvariationen in Kolonien des Rötelfalken und anderen in Gruppen lebenden Arten befassen.

The mediating role of perceived peer support in the relation between quality of attachment and internalizing problems in adolescence: a longitudinal perspective

Carla Zappulla; Rosanna Di Maggio; Ugo Pace

ABSTRACT The study was aimed to verify, from a longitudinal perspective, whether perceived peer support would mediate the relationship between attachment and internalizing problems. Longitudinal participants included 482 adolescents (245 boys) aged 14–15 years in Wave 1 and 17–18 years in Wave 2. Participants in Wave 1 completed the Relationship Questionnaire, and those in Wave 2 completed the Social Support Questionnaire and the Youth Self-Report. Results showed that secure attachment positively predicted high levels of perceived peer support and negatively predicted internalizing problems, whereas fearful and preoccupied attachment negatively predicted perceived peer support and positively predicted internalizing problems. The mediation models showed that perceived peer support partially mediated the relationship between secure attachment and internalizing problems as well as between preoccupied attachment and internalizing problems and between fearful attachment and internalizing problems. Our results confirm the role of subjective perception of peer support in contributing to the prediction of internalizing problems beyond attachment styles.
