Abstract | Abstract: Recent conservation work by The Peregrine Fund has established a translocated population of the Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Although Ridgway’s Hawk has been the focus of extensive conservation work, relatively little has been published about this species’ pre-breeding behavior. In this study, we collected behavioral observations and vocalization recordings of three established pairs of Ridgway’s Hawks in Punta Cana in January 2018, in order to better characterize this species’ pre-breeding behavior. Consistent with prior studies of Ridgway’s Hawks in Los Haitises National Park, Dominican Republic, our behavioral observations of hawks in Punta Cana suggest social and sexual monogamy in this species. Notably, our observations suggest a higher frequency of copulations between members of a pair in Punta Cana than was previously observed in the Los Haitises population. These observations provide additional context for understanding this species’ pre-breeding behavior and sexual behavior, particularly in this small but growing translocated population. | es |
Abstract | Resumen: Los recientes trabajos de conservación de The Peregrine Fund han establecido una población translocada del Gavilán de La Española (Buteo ridgwayi), especie en peligro crítico de extinción, en Punta Cana, República Dominicana. Aunque este gavilán ha sido objeto de un extenso trabajo de conservación, se ha publicado relativamente poco sobre el comportamiento pre-reproductivo de esta especie. En este estudio, recolectamos observaciones conductuales y grabaciones de vocalización de tres parejas establecidas de Gavilán de La Española en Punta Cana en enero de 2018, con el fin de caracterizar mejor el comportamiento pre-reproductivo de esta especie. Nuestras observaciones de comportamiento de esta especie en Punta Cana sugieren monogamia social y sexual en ella, en consonancia con estudios previos de individuos de Gavilán de La Española en el Parque Nacional Los Haitises, República Dominicana. En particular, nuestras observaciones sugieren una mayor frecuencia de cópulas entre miembros de una pareja en Punta Cana que la observada previamente en la población de Los Haitises. Estas observaciones proporcionan un contexto adicional para comprender el comportamiento pre-reproductivo y sexual de esta especie, particularmente en esta pequeña pero creciente población translocada. | es |
