Territory defence in tropical birds: are females as aggressive as males? (2005, background): “Tropical passerines offer a unique opportunity to ask new questions about territorial behaviour because in many species both sexes sing and defend the territory and territory defence takes place all year round (Stutchbury and Morton 2001).”
Extended parental care and delayed dispersal: northern, tropical, and southern passerines compared (2004, background): “For SHTR species, the time suitable for breeding is longer (Magrath et al., 2000; Woinarski, 1985, Wyndham, 1986), although it is still generally seasonal, even in tropical wet forests (Stutchbury and Morton, 2001; Wikelski et al., 2000).”
Duets defend mates in a suboscine passerine, the warbling antbird (Hypocnemis cantator) (2006, unknown): “However, although it is widely assumed that conflict between the sexes is low in most tropical passerines (Morton, 1996; Stutchbury and Morton, 2001), the fact that the warbling antbird has sexually dimorphic plumage and song invokes the existence of strong sexual selection at least in the species’ ”
Territoriality, Social Bonds, and the Evolution of Communal Signaling in Birds (2016, unknown): “For example, it can be diﬃcult to judge whether a poorly known tropical species is territorial year-round or only during the breeding season, or whether its social bonds endure for a short breeding season or for multiple years (Stutchbury and Morton, 2001).”
