Description

The endangered New Zealand flightless rail the takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri) has been introduced to four island refuges. Takahe have increased in numbers on these islands, but population growth has been slower than expected due to poor hatching and fledging success. Takahe are strongly territorial, and appear to favour specific areas on each island in which to breed. The aim of this study was to compare fledging success among territories on each of the four islands to determine if inter-territorial differences existed. Only Maud Island showed significant variation in fledging success among territories. For Kapiti and Mana Islands, more of the variation in fledging success was explained by differences among pairs than territories. Overall, reproductive success on most territories was low, with only 7 of 23 territories having a mean fledging rate greater than 60%. Because we cannot predict what is likely to be a good territory from one year to the next, we conclude that differences in territory quality of presently utilised nesting areas may not be great enough on any of the islands except Maud to warrant management measures to potentially improve some of these sites.
