In this collaborative research project, a behavioral                    ecologist (K. A. Sullivan) and a physiological ecologist (W. W.                 Weathers) examine the relationship between foraging efficiency,                 social dominance, and survivorship in a small passerine bird, the               yellow-eyed junco (Junco phaenotus).  The study focuses on                      juvenile birds during the two-week period following the                         termination of adult care.  During this period, juvenile                        mortality is high (42%) and body mass is a significant predictor                of survival.  The period of intense selection provides an                       opportunity to determine whether foraging efficiency and/or                     social dominance also affect survivorship, and hence fitness, as                predicted by current theory.  The study will provide insights                   concerning such diverse topics as how juvenile foraging                         efficiency affects the length of parental care, the energy costs                and benefits of social dominance, the effect of microhabitat                    selection on daily energy expenditure, and population regulation                by juvenile survivorship.
