skrjabinura gnedina, 1933 (nematoda: seuratoidea: seuratidae), in birds from the area de conservacion guanacaste, costa rica with description of a new species.	two species of skrjabinura gnedina, 1933, were collected in the intestines of birds from the area de conservación guanacaste (acg), costa rica. skrjabinura mesoamericana n. sp. inhabits dendrocincla homochroa, calocitta formosa, dendrocolaptes certhia, basileuterus rufifrons, and chordeiles acutipennis. the new species differs from all species of the genus by having dissimilar spicules, the right having a distinctive thin and bent handle on the proximal end. the new species can be further distin ...	2005	15986622
cucolepis cincta gen.n. et sp.n. (cestoda: cyclophyllidea) from the squirrel cuckoo piaya cayana lesson (aves: cuculiformes) from paraguay.	cucolepis gen. n. is erected as monotypic for cucolepis cincta sp. n., a new species of cyclophyllidean cestode of the family paruterinidae. the new species is described from the squirrel cuckoo, piaya cayana lesson (aves: cuculiformes), taken from two localities in paraguay in 1984 and 1985. this new genus is most similar to the genus triaenorhina spasskii et shumilo, 1965 in terms of the hook morphology and large epiphyseal structures extending from both the handle and guard, but differs in se ...	2012	23327010
chromosomal evolution and phylogenetic considerations in cuckoos (aves, cuculiformes, cuculidae).	the cuckoos have a long history of difficult classification. the species of this order have been the subject of several studies based on osteology, behavior, ecology, morphology and molecular data. despite this, the relationship between cuculiformes and species of other orders remains controversial. in this work, two species of cuculidae, guira guira (gmelin, 1788) and piaya cayana (linnaeus, 1766), were analyzed by means of comparative chromosome painting in order to study the chromosome evolut ...	2020	32469879
