An international research team
has found strong evidence that passerine birds near the equator live longer
than their higher latitude counterparts.
Their findings, published today
in the journal The Auk: Ornithological Advances, underscore the
pervasiveness of broad latitudinal patterns in avian life history. The article
summarizes six years of bird survey results from a tropical forest site near
Manaus, at the center of the Amazon basin, and compares the Manaus results with
findings from eleven other sites over a latitude span of more than sixty
degrees across the Americas.
