Seychelles Warbler
Description
Habitat
Ecology: It appears to require scrub
habitat
and tall, scrub-like vegetation dominated by Pisonia grandis. It is insectivorous
, gleaning 98% of its insect food from leaves1. Males and females form long-term breeding pairs and are highly territorial
year-round1, with a complex
system
of cooperative breeding and the ability to bias
the sex ratio
of offspring3,7. It usually has a one-egg clutch
and high adult
survival5,6. The breeding success of pairs is highly dependent
on the quality of territory2 as breeding sometimes continues year-round if insects are abundant1,4.[1]
