| further investigations of the mite genus syringophiloidus kethley, 1970 (acariformes: syringophilidae) from north american passerines. | four new syringophilid species of syringophiloidus kethley, 1970 are described from north american passerines: s. zonotrichia n. sp. from zonotrichia albicolis (gmelin) (emberizidae) on texas; s. jackowiaki n. sp. from poecile carolinensis (auduborn) (paridae) in texas; and s. xanthocephalus n. sp. from xanthocephalus xanthocephalus (bonaparte) (icteridae) and s. agelaius n. sp. from agelaius phoeniceus linnaeus (icteridae), both from arizona. spizella breweri (cassin) (emberizidae) from califor ... | 2011 | 21643897 |
| use of data on avian demographics and site persistence during overwintering to assess quality of restored riparian habitat. | monitoring responses by birds to restoration of riparian vegetation is relatively cost-effective, but in most assessments species-specific abundances, not demography, are monitored. data on birds collected during the nonbreeding season are particularly lacking. we captured birds in mist nets and resighted banded birds to estimate species richness and diversity, abundance, demographic indexes, and site-level persistence of permanent-resident and overwintering migrants in remnant and restored ripa ... | 2012 | 22443304 |
