摘要
American Oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus) are typically described as monogamous breeding shorebirds. In 2024, I observed an extra-pair copulation by American Oystercatchers in Virginia, USA. The extra-pair copulation occurred between within-season nesting attempts, where a female traveled 1,700 m to copulate at an extra-pair male's breeding territory. Across three field seasons of intensive monitoring of breeding activities, from 2022 to 2024, on two barrier islands in Virginia, this was the only extra-pair copulation observed, compared to 31 observed within-pair copulations. The extra-pair copulation was consistent with the female control hypothesis and the extra-territorial foray hypothesis. Potential adaptive functions behind the extra-pair copulation for the female may include fertility insurance, reduced inbreeding depression, or mate switching. Future studies might use GPS tracking to investigate the frequency, timing, and nature of extra-territorial foray behaviors. Los ostreros Haematopus palliatus suelen describirse como aves playeras que se reproducen de manera mon & oacute;gama. En 2024, observ & eacute; una c & oacute;pula extra-pareja de Haematopus palliatus en Virginia, EEUU. La c & oacute;pula extra-pareja ocurri & oacute; entre intentos de nidificaci & oacute;n dentro de la temporada, donde una hembra viaj & oacute; 1700 m para copular en el territorio de un macho extra-pareja. A lo largo de tres temporadas de seguimiento intensivo de las actividades de cr & iacute;a, de 2022 a 2024, en dos islas barrera de Virginia, esta fue la & uacute;nica c & oacute;pula extra-pareja observada, en comparaci & oacute;n con las 31 c & oacute;pulas observadas intra-pareja. La c & oacute;pula extra-pareja fue coherente con la hip & oacute;tesis de control de la hembra y la hip & oacute;tesis de incursi & oacute;n extraterritorial. Las posibles funciones adaptativas de la c & oacute;pula extra-pareja para la hembra pueden incluir: asegurar la fertilidad, reducir la depresi & oacute;n por endogamia o cambiar de pareja. Futuros estudios podr & iacute;an usar el seguimiento por GPS para investigar la frecuencia, el momento y la naturaleza de las incursiones extraterritoriales.
