Abstract:The Amur Paradise-Flycatcher (Terpsiphone incei) is a bird species belonging to the family Monarchinae of the Passeriformes and is broadly distributed across most part of China. Previous studies have reported its reproductive habits in some areas of China, however, the morphological types of male and female individuals are lack of description. For the purpose of better understanding its breeding ecology and morphological types, we conducted a study on the Amur Paradise-Flycatcher in the Dongzhai National Nature Reserve of Henan Province between 2014 and 2017. From May to July of each year, we located their nests and tracked their breeding activities by regular checking the nests. Both parents were found to attend nest construction, incubation and nestling provisioning. At our study area, the species usually started nest construction in late May and nests were mostly placed on plants such as Robinia pseudoacacia and Quercus acutissima. Clutch size were 3.8 ± 0.6 (± SD, same below; n = 25 nests) and incubation period were 12﹣13 d (n = 4 nests). Average hatching success of the nests was 91.7% ± 17.7% (n = 9 nests) and mean brood size was 3.6 ± 0.8 (n = 19 nests). Nestlings were fed by parents for about 10 days before fledging. Nesting success were 35.5% (n = 29 nests) with nest abandonment and predation being the major reason for nest failure. We found there were two types of female morphs, namely, rufous-coloured and short-tailed female, and rufous-coloured and long-tailed female, and three types of male morphs, namely, rufous-coloured and long-tailed male, white-coloured and long-tailed male, and rufous- coloured and short-tailed male (Table 1, Fig. 2). The rufous-coloured and long-tailed males were most common, occurring in 69.4% of the nests (n = 36). In addition, we recorded a case of a male with a rufous-coloured body but a long white tail (Fig. 3). These results will contribute to the understanding of the breeding habits and morphological patterns of Amur Paradise-Flycatchers.
