Demography and Populations

Introduction

Very little information is available related to topics such as age at first breeding, life span and survivorship, dispersal, or population regulation.

Measures of Breeding Activity

Of eight nests monitored at 1,700 m elevation at a mixed pine-cloud forest site in Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic, during 2003 (n = 6) and 2004 (n = 2), fledging success was low, with only three nests (37.5%) fledging at least one young. Four of five failed nets failed due to predation (30).
