Bird researchers sometimes find the breasts separate

We are talking about birds.

Big breast They are yellow yellow birds common in forests in Europe. It is known that the pairs of unilateral nipples during the breeding season, as they are divided after their offspring are completely raised. But new research indicates that “a dream divorce” may be the product of complex social relations that were formed during and after the breeding season.

July 30 was published in The facts of the Royal Society BThe paper indicates that not all the pairs of the rean in late summer when the breeding season ends. A large part of the husbands remains together throughout the winter season, and they hit it again when the spring comes. Other breasts begin to drift early in late summer, and ultimately, there are ways at different times during the fall and winter. In other words, the dating state is complex, and for reasons that are not completely clear.

“Our results show that bird relations are far from steadfastness,” said Adelaide Daisi Abraham, the main author of the study and the behavioral environment at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. statement. “Divorce appears to be a socially paid process, which is revealed over time.”

To study, Ibrahim and her colleagues follow the great individual breast in the forest near Oxford. This breast had a small radio sign attached to them, to alert the team whenever the birds visited one of several nutrients created by the researchers. For three years, the researchers collected great social statements by verifying the breast that was associated with each other and the number of times.

Surprisingly, they discovered that a mixture of dream pairs was not random or confined to proximity as he previously thought. Although early mating may be the product of those close to, whether these couples who remain together may rely more on “social decisions” throughout the season, the paper shows. The researchers also found that the signs of dream divorce appeared early in late summer, and became more prominent during the winter.

Ibrahim told NPR. “This only increases with the continuation of the winter.”

However, the paper did not provide a final explanation for what paid pairs with pirates completely – although they were fair, the birds were not exactly coming around their personal lives. But the paper raises some questions, such as, are the absolute birds that find a new partner with the same success in mating? Do different patterns of paternity and motherhood appear? Are birds affected by mating options better? Are some birds pushed through competition? Fortunately, researchers seem to ask similar questions, and they concluded that future studies should explore these causal relationships.

“Follow these individual birds through seasons and for many years allows us to see how relationships and collapse in nature are in a way that short -term studies will not do,” said Josh Fareth, the chief authors in the field of study at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom.

Abraham added: “There is a lot in these herds of birds more outside your window than you think,” Abraham added.

When we think about non -human intelligence, we often attract to major themes, such as life outside the planet. But as the new study appears, there is still a lot for us to get to know the creatures here on Earth that are of the same importance and enjoyable – sincerity is a great example.
