Abstract

During an intensive study of the urban population of the blackbird Turdus merula in Szczecin (1997–2023), four cases of surrogate copulation were observed in the blackbird and three in the fieldfare Turdus pilaris. In three cases, birds (blackbirds twice and fieldfare once) try to copulate with fledglings of their own species, and in all other cases, the birds try to copulate with moss and sticks. In three cases copulation, attempts were done by adult birds (two blackbirds and one fieldfare), and in four cases, it was a fledgling.

黑鹂（Turdus merula）和野鸟（Turdus pilaris）的假交配。

在对什切青城市黑鹂（Turdus merula）种群的深入研究中（1997-2023），在黑鹂种群中观察到4例代交配，在野外观察到3例代交配。在三种情况下，鸟类（黑鸟两次，田野鸟一次）试图与自己物种的雏鸟交配，在所有其他情况下，鸟类试图与苔藓和树枝交配。在三种情况下，尝试交配的是成年鸟（两只黑鹂和一只田野鸟），在四种情况下，是一只羽翼未丰的鸟。

期刊介绍： Ecology and Evolution is the peer reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of ecology, evolution and conservation science. The journal gives priority to quality research reports, theoretical or empirical, that develop our understanding of organisms and their diversity, interactions between them, and the natural environment. Ecology and Evolution gives prompt and equal consideration to papers reporting theoretical, experimental, applied and descriptive work in terrestrial and aquatic environments. The journal will consider submissions across taxa in areas including but not limited to micro and macro ecological and evolutionary processes, characteristics of and interactions between individuals, populations, communities and the environment, physiological responses to environmental change, population genetics and phylogenetics, relatedness and kin selection, life histories, systematics and taxonomy, conservation genetics, extinction, speciation, adaption, behaviour, biodiversity, species abundance, macroecology, population and ecosystem dynamics, and conservation policy.
