Article Synopsis
- Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks (BBWD) are moving north into areas occupied by Eastern Wood Ducks (WODU), but their nesting habits are still not well understood.
- To研究 their nesting behavior, researchers utilized advanced technology like passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and RFID readers on nest boxes, allowing them to track visits and behaviors of both BBWD and WODU during key nesting stages.
- The study found that while both species visited new and old nest boxes equally, BBWD favored old boxes for nesting significantly more than WODU, challenging previous expectations and highlighting gaps in traditional research methods.
