| mucopolysaccharide histochemistry of the avian tongue. histochemical features of the lingual glands in larus ridibundus (l). | from the histochemical analysis carried out on the tongue of larus ridibundus (l.), it has been possible to establish that it is covered by thick stratum corneum on the dorsal surface and shows both in the anterior and posterior portions lingual glands, which histologically consist of aggregates of branched tubules. these glands exhibit identical histochemical reactions which show the presence of neutral mucopolysaccharides, sulfated and unsulfated acid mucosubstances and hyaluronidase-resistant ... | 1977 | 145782 |

| agonistic display and spacing in the black-headed gull, larus ridibundus. | black-headed gulls nesting on islands in a marsh habitat had a higher breeding success than those nesting on the periphery of the colony. island birds maintained close inter-nest distances whereas peripheral nests were spaced further apart as predation of eggs increased. these changes in spacing corresponded with changes in the response distances of agonistic displays. there was no change during incubation for island birds but peripheral birds displayed to intruders at much greater distances tha ... | 1977 | 562633 |

| localisation and characterisation of egg shell porphyrins in several avian species. | 1. electron microscopy, infra-red analysis and histochemical techniques have been used to determine the site of pigment deposition, the cellular localisation of pigment and the type of pigment precipitated in the egg shells of quail, white leghorn, brown ranger and black-headed gull. 2. transfer of pigment occurs via the surface epithelial cells of the shell gland. 3. porphyrins are probably synthesised in the blood. 4. possible pigment deposition mechanisms are discussed. | 1975 | 1139348 |

| flock-feeding on fish schools increases individual success in gulls. | flock-foraging and the role of white plumage in gulls and other seabirds have been the subject of much debate. at first sight it seems that competition within the flock would render flock formation against the interest of the bird who finds the fish school, as the fish must then be shared with birds joining the flock. however, it is also possible that flock formation is neutral or even beneficial to the individual members, including the bird that found the fish (the 'first finder'). here we show ... | 2006 | 3945345 |
