The breeding biology of a population of natural hybrids between the Rock partridge Alectoris graeca saxatilis and the Red-legged partridge Alectoris rufa rufa was studied by the radio-tracking of 35 birds, in open shrublands, at 1 200 to 1 850 m of elevation, in southern French Alps. Pairs formed gradually from mid-March, and most were composed of birds of the same age class. Recruitment of yearlings into the breeding segment of the population varied with sex : all females, but only a fraction of the males, bred the first year. Males established permanent territories at the beginning of their second breeding season, suggesting that adult males controlled the spatial distribution of territories. Pair bond breakage occurred frequently, either...
