“…Nevertheless, body mass did not decrease during the study period. Moreover, Campos et al (2005a), by comparing some mountain populations, concluded that Bergmann's rule does not apply to the dipper. While Bergmann's rule is applicable to most non-migratory passerines (Ashton 2002;Meiri and Dayan 2003), selective factors other than temperature may affect body size in this species, giving rise to the results reported by Campos et al (2005a).…”

Organisms are responding to recent climate warming by changing different aspects of their biology, including morphology. The present work examines the way in which dipper (Cinclus cinclus) morphology has varied over the past 20 years in Sierra Nevada (south-eastern Spain). Tarsus length has decreased, but wing and tail length have increased in the same period. These opposite trends have provoked changes in the allometric relationships among the different parts of the body in the dipper. A decrease in body size is predicted by Bergmann's rule, and similar results have been found in other birds. However, although this study found a decrease in tarsus length, no change was found for body mass. The increase in wing and tail length may be related to a variation in the trophic niche in response to the decrease in water volume of rivers that occurred during the study period. Other studies show that the dipper's diet varies with water flow, and water flow has decreased in the study area as a consequence of climatic warming.

“…Throughout Europe, its size (measured by wing and tarsus length) increases towards Northern latitudes (Esteban et al, 2000), which is in agreement with Bergmann's rule mentioned previously. However, within the Iberian Peninsula, the White-throated dippers from the South are significantly greater than those from the North (Campos et al, 2005c), which contradicts Bergmann's rule and has been explained by the influence of local environmental conditions (Arizaga et al, 2009). Therefore, biometrics also help to raise new issues on bird ecology.…”

“…No obstante, existe dimorfismo en el tamaño, al ser los machos significativamente más grandes que las hembras (e.g., Ormerod et al, 1986;Esteban et al, 2000;Campos et al, 2005a;Arzak et al, 2014). La ecuación empleada para establecer el sexo de los ejemplares capturados, no obstante, no es de aplicación universal, debido a la alta variabilidad en los valores que adquieren los distintos parámetros morfológicos en cada zona (Campos et al, 2005b) y con el tiempo dentro de cada zona (Moreno-Rueda & Rivas, 2007).…”

ResumenEl análisis de los movimientos que realizan las aves a lo largo de todo el ciclo anual es importante para comprender muchos aspectos de su ecología y estrategia vital. El objetivo de este artículo es describir el patrón de movimientos del mirlo acuático Cinclus cinclus L., 1758 en España, mediante el análisis de recapturas de aves anilladas. Para ello se han considerado los datos almacenados tanto en la oficina de anillamiento de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi como del Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medioambiente, para el periodo 1961-2014. Las recapturas de mirlos acuáticos anillados en España y recapturados en otras zonas, anillados en otras zonas y recapturados en España o anillados y recapturados en España reflejan, fundamentalmente, desplazamientos cortos. El 89,8% de las recapturas son halladas a <10 km del punto donde el ave fue anillada. En el otro extremo, sólo una de las recapturas tuvo un origen superior a 100 km (un ejemplar anillado en Bélgica). Por otro lado, un modelo lineal generalizado mostró que la distancia de recuperación de los jóvenes fue mayor que en los adultos. Desde el punto de vista geográfico, las recapturas se concentran, fundamentalmente, en cinco zonas: Montes Vascos y Pirineos Occidentales, Pirineo Central, Sistema Ibérico (principalmente en Teruel y Valencia), Sistema Central (principalmente en Madrid) y Sierra Nevada.Palabras clave: Anillamiento, aves riparias, biogeografía, oficinas de anillamiento, recuperaciones. 41Movimientos del mirlo acuático en España Munibe, Cienc. nat. 64, 2016 • pp. 41-51 • Donostia/San Sebastián AbstractThe analysis of bird movement patterns throughout the annual cycle is crucial for our understanding of several aspects of their ecology and life-history strategy. The aim of this paper is to describe the movement pattern of white-throated dippers Cinclus cinclus L., 1758 in Spain.To do this, we performed the ring-recovery analysis. We used the data stored in the two Spanish ringing offices for the period 1961-2014. Recoveries of birds ringed in Spain and recaptured in other areas, ringed in other areas and recaptured in Spain or ringed and recaptured in Spain showed, basically, short-range movements. 89.8% of the recaptures were obtained at <10 km from the ringing site. Only one bird (ringed in Belgium) performed a long-distance displacement (of more than 100 km). It was found that juvenile birds were recaptured at a greater distance than adults. Geographically, the vast majority of the recaptures were obtained in five main areas: Basque mountains and Western Pyrenees, Central Pyrenees, Iberian System (mainly Teruel and Valencia), Central System (mainly Madrid), and Sierra Nevada.
