Title El calentamiento del clima podría provocar la separación de las parejas de pájaros cantores Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Espanol News Media type Web Country/Territory Spain Date 07/12/2024 Description En las islas Seychelles, en el Océano Índico, las pequeñas reinitas de color marrón verdoso se aparean para toda la vida, o al menos para una parte sustancial de ella. Año tras año, machos y hembras traen insectos a los polluelos para que coman mientras defienden vigorosamente el nido de eslizones o aves depredadoras. Estas parejas son notablemente estables y duran hasta 15 años (una buena parte de su esperanza de vida, que puede llegar a los 20 años), y en promedio poco menos del 7 por ciento de las parejas de reinitas se separan cada año.

Year after year, male and female bring the young chick insects to eat while vigorously defending the nest from skinks or predatory birds. These pairings are remarkably stable, lasting up to 15 years—a good chunk of their lifespans, which can reach 20 years—with just under 7 percent of warbler couples separating every year on average.

The team found that fluctuations in rainfall prior to and during the breeding season significantly influence the likelihood of "divorce" between mates, highlighting the broader implications of climate change for animal reproduction and conservation.
