Abstract:
The region from New Guinea through Oceania sustains the world’s most diverse set of columbids. We describe osteological characters of the hindlimb (femur, tibiotarsus, tarsometatarsus) that divide the Papuan-Oceanic pigeons and doves into three groups based on functional morphology: “arboreal” (Hemiphaga, Ducula, Ptilinopus, Drepanoptila, Gymnophaps), “intermediate” (Columba, Macropygia, Reinwardtoena), and “terrestrial” (Gallicolumba [includes Alopecoenas], Trugon, Microgoura, Goura, Chalcophaps, Geopelia, Henicophaps, Caloenas, Didunculus, Otidiphaps). The arboreal and terrestrial groups are each distinctive osteologically, especially in the tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus, which are short relative to the femur in the arboreal group, and long relative to the femur in the terrestrial group. The intermediate pigeons are more similar to arboreal than to terrestrial pigeons, but nonetheless fit in neither group. To estimate the phylogenetic relationships among or within these three groups is somewhat tentative using hindlimb osteology alone, although all five genera of arboreal pigeons have independent molecular evidence of relatedness, as do most of the genera of terrestrial pigeons. Using the hindlimb and other osteological data as a framework, we describe a new extinct genus and species of pigeon, Tongoenas burleyi, from Holocene archaeological and Pleistocene paleontological sites on six islands (Foa, Lifuka, `Uiha, Ha`afeva, Tongatapu, and `Eua) in the Kingdom of Tonga. Tongoenas was a large-sized member of the “arboreal” pigeon group, with osteological characters that relate it to Ducula, Gymnophaps, and Hemiphaga (generally canopy frugivores) rather than with the “terrestrial” pigeons (more ground-dwelling and granivorous) such as Gallicolumba, Trugon, Microgoura, Goura, etc. (others listed above). Among volant columbids, living or extinct, only the species of Goura (from New Guinea) are larger than Tongoenas. From most of the same prehistoric sites, we also report new material of the nearly as large, extinct pigeon Ducula shutleri Worthy & Burley, recently described from islands in the Vava`u Group of Tonga. Thus, D. shutleri also was widespread in Tonga before human impact. The prehistoric anthropogenic loss in Tonga of Tongoenas burleyi, Ducula shutleri, and other columbids undoubtedly had a negative impact on the dispersal regimes of Tongan forest trees. At first human contact about 2850 years ago, at least nine species of columbids in six genera inhabited the Tongan islands, where only four species in three genera exist today.

Abstract:
The importance of atmospheric odours for homing pigeon navigation in a desert environment was tested using birds from two lofts located in the Sonoran desert near Tucson, Arizona, USA. When released from a familiar training site, experienced control pigeons and pigeons given intranasal injections of zinc sulphate to produce anosmia both displayed good homeward orientation and homed rapidly. When released from two unfamiliar locations, in contrast, the controls continued to display good homing performance while the zinc-sulphate-treated pigeons homed poorly. Significant differences in vanishing bearings, homing time and homing success were recorded. When a group of control and a group of zinc-sulphate-treated inexperienced pigeons were released from two unfamiliar locations, both groups homed poorly. Nonetheless, the controls still outperformed the zinc-sulphate-treated birds, the most notable result being a significant difference in homing success. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of atmospheric odours for the operation of the navigational map of the homing pigeon in a desert environment and, together with previous experiments, demonstrate that the role of atmospheric odours in homing does not seem to vary in any salient way with ambient climatic conditions. <P>

Experiments were performed with homing pigeons treated before release with oscillating magnetic fields produced by small Helmholtz coils placed around the neck and on the head of the pigeon or by larger Helmholtz coils surrounding the cage of the birds. In both types of treatment, which both used a single frequency of about 0.14 Hz, the pigeons' initial orientation was strongly affected when the oscillation of the artificial magnetic field was square-shaped, whereas a triangular or sine-shaped variation had no effect.

Abstract:
SUMMARYFinch trichomonosis, caused by Trichomonas gallinae, emerged in the Canadian Maritime provinces in 2007 and has since caused ongoing mortality in regional purple finch (Carpodacus purpureus) and American goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) populations. Trichomonas gallinae was isolated from (1) finches and rock pigeons (Columbia livia) submitted for post-mortem or live-captured at bird feeding sites experiencing trichomonosis mortality; (2) bird seed at these same sites; and (3) rock pigeons live-captured at known roosts or humanely killed. Isolates were characterized using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and iron hydrogenase (Fe-hyd) gene sequences. Two distinct ITS types were found. Type A was identical to the UK finch epidemic strain and was isolated from finches and a rock pigeon with trichomonosis; apparently healthy rock pigeons and finches; and bird seed at an outbreak site. Type B was obtained from apparently healthy rock pigeons. Fe-hyd sequencing revealed six distinct subtypes. The predominant subtype in both finches and the rock pigeon with trichomonosis was identical to the UK finch epidemic strain A1. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in Fe-hyd sequences suggest there is fine-scale variation amongst isolates and that finch trichomonosis emergence in this region may not have been caused by a single spill-over event.

Abstract:
Using the pectoralis muscle of the pigeon (Columba livia), we previously showed that at fledging, both fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) and fast-twitch glycolytic (FG) fiber types retain a myosin isoform characteristic of the neonatal period, despite the birds being at adult body mass. Our aim here was to test the hypothesis that muscle fibers of the pigeon pectoralis increase their aerobic capacity both before and after fledging. Pigeons aged from 1 week after hatching through to adulthood were used. Adopting a microdensitometric technique from studies on mammalian muscle, the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) within individual fibers was quantified as optical density and used as an index of aerobic capacity. We demonstrate a strong linear correlation (r2 = 0.936) between optical density of FOG fibers and time exposed to the SDH incubation medium. Optical density of FG fibers, however, could not be discerned from background staining. SDH activity in FOG fibers increased logarithmically (r2 = 0.969) with the age of the birds, increasing 2.5-fold from 1 week through to adult. Thus, aerobic capacity did increase both before and after fledging. In addition, within FOG fibers, aerobic capacity and myosin content appear to have different timetables of development.

Abstract:
In modern times, swarm intelligence has played an increasingly important role in finding an optimal solution within a search range. This study comes up with a novel solution algorithm named QUasi-Affine TRansformation-Pigeon-Inspired Optimization Algorithm, which uses an evolutionary matrix in QUasi-Affine TRansformation Evolutionary Algorithm for the Pigeon-Inspired Optimization Algorithm that was designed using the homing behavior of pigeon. We abstract the pigeons into particles of no quality and improve the learning strategy of the particles. Having different update strategies, the particles get more scientific movement and space exploration on account of adopting the matrix of the QUasi-Affine TRansformation Evolutionary algorithm. It increases the versatility of the Pigeon-Inspired Optimization algorithm and makes the Pigeon-Inspired Optimization less simple. This new algorithm effectively improves the shortcoming that is liable to fall into local optimum. Under a number of benchmark functions, our algorithm exhibits good optimization performance. In wireless sensor networks, there are still some problems that need to be optimized, for example, the error of node positioning can be further reduced. Hence, we attempt to apply the proposed optimization algorithm in terms of positioning, that is, integrating the QUasi-Affine TRansformation-Pigeon-Inspired Optimization algorithm into the Distance Vector–Hop algorithm. Simultaneously, the algorithm verifies its optimization ability by node location. According to the experimental results, they demonstrate that it is more outstanding than the Pigeon-Inspired Optimization algorithm, the QUasi-Affine TRansformation Evolutionary algorithm, and particle swarm optimization algorithm. Furthermore, this algorithm shows up minor errors and embodies a much more accurate location.

Abstract:
Pigeon-inspired optimization (PIO) is a new type of intelligent algorithm. It is proposed that the algorithm simulates the movement of pigeons going home. In this paper, a new pigeon herding algorithm called compact pigeon-inspired optimization (CPIO) is proposed. The challenging task for multiple algorithms is not only combining operations, but also constraining existing devices. The proposed algorithm aims to solve complex scientific and industrial problems with many data packets, including the use of classical optimization problems and the ability to find optimal solutions in many solution spaces with limited hardware resources. A real-valued prototype vector performs probability and statistical calculations, and then generates optimal candidate solutions for CPIO optimization algorithms. The CPIO algorithm was used to evaluate a variety of continuous multi-model functions and the largest model of hydropower short-term generation. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is a more effective way to produce competitive results in the case of limited memory devices.

Abstract:
In birds, it is thought that head movements play a major role in the reflexive stabilization of gaze and vision. In this study, we investigated the contributions of the eye and head to gaze stabilization during rotations under both head-fixed [vestibuloocular (VOR)] and head-free conditions in two avian species: pigeons and quails. These two species differ both in ocular anatomy (the pigeon has 2 distinct foveal regions), as well as in behavioral repertoires. Pigeons are arboreal, fly extended distances, and can navigate. Quails are primarily engrossed in terrestrial niches and fly only short distances. Unlike the head-fixed VOR gains that were under-compensatory for both species, gaze gains under head-free conditions were completely compensatory at high frequencies. This compensation was achieved primarily with head movements in pigeons, but with combined head and eye-in-head contributions in the quail. In contrast, eye-in-head motion, which was significantly reduced for head-free compared with head-fixed conditions, contributed very little to overall gaze stability in pigeons. These results suggest that disparity between the stabilization strategies employed by these two birds may be attributed to differences in species-specific behavior and anatomy.

Full text
Abstract:
The assessment of feasibility of an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) that is specifically tailored—in performance, operating and support characteristics, and payload—to support hardware-based data transfer from South Pole Station in Antarctica to a location of high connectivity has been undertaken. Due to the specific location of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station and competing demands from other governmental agencies, satellite connectivity requirements for data transfers cannot be met at the South Pole. In the recent decades, the advancement in UAS capabilities have overwhelming extended their operational reach in military and commercial reconnaissance and surveillance missions. This UAS has the potential to supplement research data transfer in environments – such as the South Pole – where communications are extremely limited. The methodology used to determine feasibility of the Carrier Pigeon UAS are; trade studies for similar UAS, hand calculations, initial constant diagrams, and assessment of command, control, and support. The outputs determined the proposed system is feasible to meet personnel, climate, altitude, range, and payload requirements of a continuous “Carrier-Pigeon” UAS that enables high volumes of rapid data via hard disk drive transfer from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station to Christchurch, New Zealand.

Abstract:
Recent studies have indicated that avian magnetoreception is based on vision, being both wavelength and luminance sensitive. Using this novel behavioural assay, the ability to respond to changes in magnetic field conditions was tested in the dark and the light. Darkness was found to have an adverse impact on birds' abilities to perceive magnetic field changes. Magnetoreception as measured by reactivity was virtually eliminated in the dark as compared with the same birds' behaviour in normal light conditions.

Abstract:
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the protein and energy requirements of squabbing pigeons. The first experiment was carried out at a commercial farm, with birds housed in pens, each containing 10-12 pairs. Two pelleted feeds of different protein concentrations (low protein (LP) with 16% CP and 2937 kcal ME/kg, and high protein (HP) with 22% CP and 2783 kcal ME/kg) were fed, with and without whole yellow corn, cafeteria-style. A low protein intake was observed with LP + corn, which adversely affected squab growth and livability, without affecting egg production traits or adult body weight. HP without corn resulted in a high protein intake with no effect on squab production. The other two treatments (HP + corn and LP) had intermediate protein intake while squab production was unaffected. It was concluded that the cafeteria feeding program (HP + corn) may be replaced by a single pelleted ration, such as LP, without adversely affecting squab production. The second experiment was carried out at the new UBC Pigeon Nutrition Unit, to determine the requirement for, and utilization of, different fat sources by pigeons. Birds were housed in pair-cages and fed one of 5 pelleted rations, with 35 pairs per treatment. The treatments consisted of a basal diet (with no added fat , 15% crude protein and 2650 kcal ME/kg) to which was added either sunflower oil (SFO) or animal tallow (AT) at levels of 3% or 6%. Birds fed the basal diet produced no squabs, whereas those on other treatments produced at least 6 squabs. Intake data from the first seven weeks of the trial indicated that pigeons eat to meet an energy requirement of approximately 235 kcal HE per pair per week when not producing squabs. Energy intake of those adults raising squabs vas highly variable and did not appear to correlate with squab production. The source of fat did not significantly affect squab production.

Full text
Abstract:
Avian wings change shape during the flapping cycle due to the activity of a network of intrinsic wing muscles. Wing control is believed to be the key feature allowing birds to maneuver safely through different environments. One control aspect is elbow joint motion, which relates to wing folding for the upstroke and re-expansion for the downstroke. Muscle anatomy suggests that if the muscles are actuating then the biceps flex the elbow, and the two heads of the triceps, the humerotriceps and scapulotriceps, extend the elbow. This set of antagonist muscles could thus actively modulate wing shape by regulating elbow joint angle. Control of the elbow joint angle remains uncertain as motor elements can have diverse functions such as actuators, brakes, springs, and struts, where specific roles and their magnitudes depend on when muscles are activated in the contractile cycle. The wing muscles best studied during flight are the elbow muscles of the pigeon (Columba livia). In vivo studies during different flight modes revealed variation in strain profile, activation timing and duration, and in contractile cycle frequency of the humerotriceps. This variation suggests that the pigeon humerotriceps may alter wing shape in diverse ways. To test this hypothesis, I developed an in situ work loop technique to measure the performance of the pigeon humerotriceps. My experiments tested how activation duration and contractile cycle frequency influenced muscle work and power across the full range of activation onset times. I found that the humerotriceps generated net positive power over a narrow range of activation times. The humerotriceps produced predominantly net negative power, likely due to relatively long activation durations, indicating that it absorbs work, but the work loop shapes also suggest varying degrees of elasticity and resistance. I was unable to examine the effects of variation in strain profile because current work loop technology does not allow for this. Nonetheless, these results, when combined with previous in vivo studies, show that the humerotriceps can dynamically shift among roles of brake, spring, and strut, based on activation properties that vary with flight mode.

Abstract:
Mental representation of hidden objects by pigeons was tested for. Experiment 1 used a series of Piagetian tests of "object permanence" to measure pigeons' capacity to find a stationary food target behind a screen. Performance on these tests did not differ significantly from chance in spite of manipulations designed to enhance the motivational value of the hidden object. Experiment 2 used operant contingencies to test whether pigeons could mentally represent a moving dot on a computer monitor that temporarily "disappeared" behind a screen. Two target durations were used (12 and 24 seconds) for the dot to move across a computer screen. Pigeons were reinforced if their first keypeck occurred when the dot was hidden but not if it occurred when the dot was visible. Phase 1 consisted of target-12 trials, phase 2 consisted of target-24 trials, and phase 3 consisted of alternating sessions of target-12 and target-24 trials. Results demonstrate that while pigeons were able to use timing strategies to respond correctly with an unconstrained choice method, evidence for the use of mental representations by pigeons was inconclusive. Both experiments are discussed in terms of the mechanisms used by pigeons to find hidden objects.

Abstract:
On the occasion of the centenary of the First World War, remembered across the world from 2014 until the end of 2018, many aspects and experiences of this global conflict have been re-examined or brought to light for the first time, as we honour the memory of those estimated 16 million soldiers and civilians who perished in what was then known as the ‘Great War’, or the ‘War to End All Wars’. So many of these died on the infamous fields of Flanders, where Allied and Central Forces dug themselves into trenches for the better part of four years. Over the past few years, new research has brought to light many insights into the plight of animals in this War, which – for the younger readers amongst you – was fought at the dawn of motorised warfare, using anything powered by two or four feet or paws, from the homing pigeons delivering secret messages across enemy lines, to the traction provided by oxen and mules to pull cannons and other heavy artillery, to the horses of the cavalry. Not least among these roles was the supply of animal protein to the troops, whether this came through the specific designation of animals for this purpose or as the result of a failed attempt at delivering any of the above services. Several leading publications today have documented the role (and suffering) of animals in ‘La Grande Guerre’. Less so the role of veterinarians in the ‘War to End All Wars’. Who were they? How many? How were they organised? What did they do, on either side of the enemy lines? The present article is a humble attempt to shed some light on these veterinary colleagues, based on available, mostly grey, literature…
