dc.description.abstract [EN] Differential traits (e.g., feeding at different heights in trees) have evolved to allow the coexistence of putative competitors; such traits have been well studied in small passerines (e.g., Paridae), mainly during the winter. However, few studies have been carried out during the breeding season, when competition could be more intense. We applied here a multidimensional approach, examining ecological (prey type and size, and nesting habitat characteristics) and life history (timing of maximum nestling food demand) traits that might help to explain the coexistence of great (Parus major), crested (Lophophanes cristatus), and coal (Periparus ater) tits breeding in a Mediterranean pine forest. The diets of great and crested tit nestlings were equally diverse, and more diverse than that of coal tit nestlings. Prey size diversity was similar among species. Great and crested tits consumed longer caterpillars than coal tits. This last species preferred to build its nests in nest boxes surrounded by mature vegetation, while great tits preferred immature vegetation and crested tits preferred intermediate vegetation stages. Finally, the breeding cycles of both great and coal tits overlapped to a great extent, while crested tits bred earlier. In summary, each species has a unique combination of niche characteristics that might contribute to the coexistence of the 3 tit species. es_ES
dc.description.abstract [FR] Différents traits bioécologiques (ex. une alimentation à différentes hauteurs dans les arbres) ont évolué pour permettre la coexistence des présumés compétiteurs. Ces traits ont été bien étudiés chez les petits passereaux (ex. chez les paridés) principalement en hiver. Cependant, peu d'études se sont attardées à la saison de reproduction, alors que la compétition est peut être plus intense. Nous avons utilisé une approche multidimensionnelle comprenant une étude de traits écologiques (type et taille des proies, caractéristiques de l'habitat de nidification) et de traits d'histoire de vie (période où la demande alimentaire des oisillons est maximale), des traits qui pourraient aider à expliquer la coexistence des mésanges charbonnière (Parus major), huppée (Lophophanes cristatus) et noire (Periparus ater) nichant dans une pinède méditerranéenne. Le régime alimentaire des mésanges noires était moins diversifié que celui des mésanges charbonnière et huppée dont la diversité était similaire. La diversité dans la taille des proies était semblable chez les 3 espèces. Les mésanges charbonnière et huppée consommaient des chenilles de plus grande taille que ne le faisait la mésange noire. Cette dernière préférait construire son nid dans des nichoirs situés dans une végétation mature, tandis que la mésange charbonnière préférait la végétation immature et la mésange huppée les stades intermédiaires de végétation. Finalement, les périodes de reproduction des mésanges charbonnière et noire se chevauchaient en bonne partie, tandis que la mésange huppée se reproduisait plus tôt. En résumé, chaque espèce de mésange présente une combinaison unique de caractéristiques de niche écologique pouvant contribuer à la coexistence des 3 espèces. es_ES

The study was financed by the Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia (MEC, projects CGL2004-00787, CGL2007-61395, and CGL2010-21933-C02-02). F. Atienzar had an FPU grant from the Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia (AP2004-0907). Vegetation data used in the present study were processed at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) thanks to M. E. Visser and the late L. J. M. Holleman. We thank Sierra Mariola Natural Park and the land owners for their collaboration. Most of the analyses and writing for the present paper were done during a short stay at the NIOO thanks to a grant awarded to F. Atienzar by the Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia (2008). en_EN
