Abstract
Annual reproductive output (clutch size x number of broods yr-1) is investigated in breeding bird communities inhabiting four successional habitat categories to test the prediction that early successional species produce more offspring than late successional species. Early successional species are found to have a significantly higher reproductive output than late successional species due to a greater incidence of multiple-brooding. Mean clutch sizes do not differ significantly among bird species inhabiting different successional habitats.
