Exploratory behavior involves gathering information and reflects how individuals interact with their environments. In seasonal environments, undergo environmental cycles that might lead to differences in this between locations seasons. Here, we compare the exploratory measured during an open-field test 102 adult of rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis) from three central southern Chile. A generalized mixed-effect model (GMM) was utilized The two-way interaction both variates also included. Body mass sex were included as covariates elevation study sites a random effect. result indicates significantly varied populations Specifically, birds tested Chilean zone (33° S) breeding showed higher exploration scores than (38° non-breeding birds. These findings suggest may be driven by local pressures, underscoring role weather seasonality shaping behavior.
