SUMMARY The behaviour of the Sociable Weaver Philetairus socius was studied briefly in South Africa in 1969, and more extensively in aviaries in southern California for over three years (1972-75). The species was bred successfully in captivity, appar

The evolutionary success of individuals must ultimately be evaluated in terms of their lifetime contribution of mature young to the breeding population. The greater lifetime breeding success of the more dominant hens in an unconfined flock of Red Jun

Complete deprivation of nest materials for the first year significantly retarded development of weaving ability in yearling, male village weaverbirds. One male which reached 9 years of age and held territory in breeding colouration never learned to b

BEHAVIORAL ENERGETICS deals with the relationship between animal behavior and energy income and expenditure. It is a relatively new and undeveloped field of study that attempts to account for the amount of time and effort that animals put into their
