AN OBSERVATION OF REVERSE MOUNTING BY THE SPOT-WINGED PIGEON PATAGIOENAS MACULOSA
Reverse mounting, females mounting males, is a widespread but uncommonly reported behaviour among birds. Although its function is not fully understood, it is generally accepted that reverse mounting is an integral part of courtship during pair bonding and mating. It has been reported in species of at least 10 orders, but only among three species of columbids previously. Here, I report a casual observation of reverse mounting by two individuals of Spot-winged Pigeons Patagioenas maculosa in the vicinity of the city of Córdaba, Argentina. Components of the display observed in the copulatory sequence of the pair, are frequent in the repertoire of displays during mating and courtship of columbids; yet, reverse mounting is seldom described. These observations support and extend the occurrence of reverse mounting in pigeons.
期刊介绍:
Ornitología Neotropical welcomes high quality manuscripts concerning ornithological research in the Neotropical region, which includes from Mexico south to Argentina and Chile. Papers on Neotropical species in adjacent areas may be considered at the discretion of the editorial board. While the journal has currently a strong emphasis on natural history, all aspects of avian research are of potential interest. Range extensions and first country records of species are best published in national journals unless the findings have broad implications for the Neotropical region.
