York Professor and Canada Research Chair<\/a> <\/span>Bridget Stutchbury is attracting international media attention with her new book, The Bird Detective<\/a>. ABC News Online<\/a>, the National Post<\/a>, the Daily Mail Online<\/a> and Maclean's.ca<\/a> published articles discussing her book on April 13.<\/p>\n

Reuters<\/a> wrote:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all love in the avian world, where divorce, child abandonment and marrying up are part of everyday life.<\/p>\n

The Bird Detective<\/em><\/a>, to be published in Canada this week, dispels the lovebird myth that birds pair up for life, and paints a picture instead that includes adultery and the pursuit of comfort.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIn terms of top 10 myths about birds, the permanent pair bonds that we think about, that does occur for some birds, but for most of the little songbirds that we studied, no,\u201d said Stutchbury.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The book draws on 20 years of research from radio tracking and DNA testing and shows male Acadian flycatchers fertilizing females far away from their home nests, and female blue-headed vireos premeditating divorce by checking out new mates before they abandon their young.<\/p>\n

Stutchbury, who has studied dozens of songbird species in Canada, the United States and Panama, said shorter summers may drive females to leave their nests before their young are fully fledged so they can quickly find new mates and lay more eggs. That leaves the males to feed the hungry chicks on their own.<\/p>\n

Males can triple or quadruple their reproductive success by fertilizing neighbouring females, but only \u201cmates\u201d care for the young, and some are none the wiser. \u201cThey can\u2019t tell when the egg hatches whether it\u2019s theirs or not,\u201d she said. \u201cThey have no way to know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Divorce is surprisingly common among birds, and most live with one partner for only a few months or years. Divorce rates range from 99 per cent in the greater flamingo to zero in the wandering albatross.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Calgary Sun<\/em><\/a> wrote:<\/p>\n

Who knew birds could be so bad?<\/p>\n

A new book from Bridget Stutchbury shows they cheat on each other, and their relationships often end in divorce. As well, some parent birds favour one offspring over another. \u201cThere are a number of theories about why birds go their separate ways,\u201d Stutchbury said in a release about her book The Bird Detective<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne hypothesis is that birds that are genetically or behaviourally incompatible separate when both can benefit from finding a new partner.\u201d Another theory is birds, like humans, realize they can do better: One initiates divorce for selfish gain, leaving its former partner high and dry.<\/p>\n

The York University biology professor \u2013 who was a 2007 Governor General\u2019s Literary Award for Non-Fiction finalist for her book Silence of the Songbirds<\/em> \u2013 and post-doctoral student Bonnie Wolfenden looked at how female Acadian flycatchers were being fertilized by neighbouring males who lived hundreds of metres away.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the genetic evidence of their infidelity, but we never did catch a female sneaking away from its nest. It turned out to be the males making clandestine visits to the females,\u201d Stutchbury said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stutchbury, who is among York's Distinguished Research Professors<\/a>, is a faculty member in the Department of Biology<\/a> in York University\u2019s Faculty of Science & Engineering<\/a>. She holds a Canada Research Chair in Evolution & Ecology<\/a>.<\/p>\n
