Abstract:

The distribution of regular winter bird species to the south of Tenerife is studied on a UTM grid of 1x1 km. Eighteen bird species (i.e. 14 non-passerines & 4 passerines), belonging to 7 families were detected: 5 non-passerines (Anatidae, Rallidae, Charadriidae, Scolopacidae, Sternidae) and 2 passerines (Alaudidae and Motacillidae). Anatidae, Rallidae, Sternidae, Alaudidae were all represented by a single species, whereas Charadriidae by 2 and Motacillidae by 3 species. At least 9 members of the Sandpipers (Scolopacidae) were detected, but some limited their distribution to an important ma

Abstract:

During spring and summer 1997, non-passerines were surveyed in three woodlots near Arnprior, Ontario, using standard point counts, and standard point counts combined with “pishing” (pishing involves the observer saying the words “pish pish pish pish” in a continuous series of short bursts). Of the 27 non-passerine species detected, 22 were recorded on more days using pishing as opposed to the standard point count method. However, only three of these species were recorded on significantly more days using pishing. Several woodpecker species approached more closely during point counts with pishin

SummaryAt the present time the earth is facing an anthropogenic (human-caused) mass extinction event that may eventually rival previous mass extinction events caused by drastic changes i n the physical environment; however, the impact of this event on the earth's biotic diversity remains difficult to predict. Patterns of extinction and endangerment in birds, one of the best known taxonomically among major groups of organisms, showed that the distribution of human impact has been non-uniform relative to phylogenetic relationships.

AbstractHabitat modification may facilitate the emergence of novel pathogens, and the expansion of agricultural frontiers make domestic animals important sources of pathogen spillover to wild animals. We demonstrate for the first time that Plasmodium juxtanucleare, a widespread parasite from domestic chickens, naturally infects free-living passerines. We sampled 68 wild birds within and at the border of conservation units in central Brazil composed by Cerrado, a highly threatened biome. Seven out of 10 passerines captured in the limits of a protected area with a small farm were infected by P.

Abstract:

Three groups of fluorescing pigments in the plumage of birds of Australo-Papua and elsewhere have been known for a while, all restricted to certain groups of non-passerines. Recently, fluorescing plumage in several species of birds-of-paradise (Paradisaeidae) and other passerines has been reported, the first evidence of this in this group of birds. This raises the question of the nature of this unidentified pigment and its possible distribution elsewhere in the Passeriformes.

Abstract:

Most acoustic studies on birds dealing with species specificity have concerned the territorial function of the song in passerines. We studied species specificity in a non-passerine bird, Wilson's storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus). Males of this species attract females by uttering a chattering call, which acts as a premating isolating mechanism. We analysed the encoding of species specificity in the call by measuring the variation in its physical features. We then experimented in the field with played-back computer-synthesized signals and identified the relevant cues that elicited species reco

SUMMARYAvian trichomonosis, caused by the flagellated protozoan Trichomonas gallinae, is a recently emerged infectious disease of British passerines. The aetiological agent, a clonal epidemic strain of the parasite, has caused unprecedented finch mortality and population-level declines in Britain and has since spread to continental Europe. To better understand the potential origin of this epidemic and to further investigate its host range, T. gallinae DNA extracts were collected from parasite culture and tissue samples from a range of avian species in Britain.

Abstract:

The concentration of avian song at first light (i.e. the dawn chorus) is widely appreciated, but has an enigmatic functional significance. One widely accepted explanation is that birds are active at dawn, but light levels are not yet adequate for foraging. In forest communities, the onset to singing should thus be predictable from the species' foraging strata, which is ultimately related to ambient light level. To test this, we collected data from a tropical forest of Ecuador involving 57 species from 27 families of birds. Time of first song was a repeatable, species-specific trait, and the ma

Eighty-three species were recorded; average 41 species and 1,677 birds per year. Number of species as well as population size increased for waterfowl, waders and other non-passerines but not for passerines. Thirteen of the thirty-eight most regular species had significant population trends, twelve of them positive. The route counts correlated well with the number of pairs in two adjacent territory mapping plots.

Abstract The general migration pattern of passerines can be estimated using a variety of methods. A number of partial analyses based on ringing data, usually limited to a few species, have been published. A very few continent-scale presentations have been offered, as extremely long periods of ringing activity are necessary for passerines. This is especially true for areas where the recovery rate is very low, including vast areas of north-eastern and eastern Europe and the Middle East/Africa. Similarly, radar and moon-watching studies are of limited value for drawing migration patterns within w

In addition, restricted ranges make populations more susceptible to local perturbations such that range size is frequently considered a correlate of species vulnerability. Despite this, little is known about the balance between seasonal ranges in the migrant populations of partially migratory species.

Abstract:

Northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) are common, mid-sized passerines widely distributed in North America. As an iconic species with strong sexual dichromatism, it has been the focus of extensive ecological and evolutionary research, yet genomic studies investigating the evolution of genotype–phenotype association of plumage coloration and dichromatism are lacking. Here we present a new, highly-contiguous assembly for C. cardinalis. We generated a 1.1 Gb assembly comprised of 4,762 scaffolds, with a scaffold N50 of 3.6 Mb, a contig N50 of 114.4 kb and a longest scaffold of 19.7 Mb. We id

Abstract:

There is currently a great deal of interest in using stable-isotope methods to investigate diet and migratory connections in wild passerines. To apply these methods successfully, it is important to understand how stable isotopes discriminate or change between diet and the tissue of interest and what the element-turnover rates are in metabolically active tissues. Of particular use are studies that sample birds non-destructively through the use of blood and feathers. We investigated patterns of isotopic discrimination between diet and blood and feathers of Garden Warblers (Sylvia borin) raised o

Abstract:

Non-vocal, or unvoiced, signals surprisingly have received very little attention until recently especially when compared to other acoustic signals. Some sounds made by terrestrial vertebrates are produced not only by the larynx but also by the syrinx. Furthermore, some birds are known to produce several types of non-syrinx sounds. Besides mechanical sounds produced by feathers, bills and/or wings, sounds can be also produced by constriction, anywhere along the pathway from the lungs to the lips or nostrils (in mammals), or to the bill (in birds), resulting in turbulent, aerodynamic sounds.

I examined the demography and cooperative breeding behaviour of the rufous treecreeper, Climacteris rufa, in the south-west of Western Australia. Social organisation, breeding behaviour, reproductive success, survival and dispersal were measured over 3 years. The species lived in cooperatively breeding groups of 2–7 individuals, which occupied a territory year round. Most groups comprised a primary male and female (probably breeding) and offspring from previous breeding seasons (helpers). Territory defence was variable, particularly during the breeding season when individuals would feed nestli

Abstract:

Many butterfly species are often seen with severe wing damage, which is regarded as evidence of unsuccessful predation, most likely by insectivorous birds. However, observations of bird predation are rare for the vast majority of butterflies. During a long-term study of the ecology of the Painted Lady Vanessa cardui, a common migratory butterfly, a high frequency of wing damage was noted, especially in North African populations. Attacks by several bird species were confirmed during fieldwork which, along with a number of published and unpublished records from ornithological colleagues, are rep

Data from a 4-year study of wing-feather mites on passerines in Portugal (Behnke et al. 1995. Exp. Appl. Acarol. 19: 443–458) were used to investigate whether avian body mass influences the abundance of mites. When 17 host species were used as statistically independent observations, the mite infestation score correlated positively with avian body mass. This correlation is not a phylogenetic artefact, having been also found when avian phylogeny was controlled for. Three non-exclusive hypotheses might explain this finding: (1) larger birds may provide larger "habitat islands," enabling more mite

Abstract Cooperative animals share different activities during reproduction, but individuals of a social group may invest in these tasks in different proportions. Nest sanitation is an important task that may impact reproductive performance of birds, and yet, little is known about the relative participation of individuals of a social group, particularly in non-passerine species. Here, we describe nest sanitation behaviour and materials removed, and test the occurrence of task division regarding faecal sac removal in Campo flickers (Picidae), a facultative cooperative breeder with complex socia
