| two new species of quasithelazia maplestone, 1932 (nematoda: acuariidae) from malaysia, with an amended diagnosis and review of the genus. | quazithelazia rostrata n. sp. from ceyx erithaca (l.) (type-host) and alcedo euryzona temminck (coraciiformes, alcedinidae) and q. alata n. sp. from enicurus ruficapillus temminck (passeriformes, muscicapidae) are described from vicinities of gombak biological station, selangor, malaysia; both species are parasitic under the koilin lining of the gizzard. paratypes of schistogendra pelargopsis nandi, de & majumdar, 1985, a parasite of pelargopsis capensis (l.) (alcedinidae) from india, are redesc ... | 2014 | 24832183 |
| spermiophagy in the male reproductive tract of some passerine birds. | in order to elucidate the locus and means of spermiophagy in passerine birds, we examined histologically the entire male reproductive tract of sexually mature birds of three passerine species with different forms of sperm competition, namely, the alpine accentor (prunella collaris), the redflanked bush robin (tarsiger cyanurus), and the bengalese finch (lonchura striata var. domestica). spermiophagy occurred consistently and frequently in the epithelial layer of the seminal glomera and ejaculato ... | 2011 | 21882958 |
| deep phylogeographic divergence of a migratory passerine in sino-himalayan and siberian forests: the red-flanked bluetail (tarsiger cyanurus) complex. | enormous mountainous forests in sino-himalayans and siberia harbor important avian biodiversity in the northern hemisphere. numerous studies in last two decades have been contributed to systematics and taxonomy of passerines birds in these regions and have revealed various and complex phylogeographic patterns. a passerine species red-flanked bluetail tarsiger cyanurus provided a good system to manifest such evolutionary complexity. the subspecies t. c. cyanurus and t. c. rufilatus (or/and t. c. ... | 2014 | 24772276 |
| molecular phylogeny of an avipoxvirus isolated from red-flanked blue robin in china. | we first report avipoxvirus (apv) infection and an isolate named apv/03/2016 from a red-flanked blue robin (tarsiger cyanurus) captured at songhua lake scenic area in jilin city (jilin province, china) on march 24, 2016. the partial sequence of the 4b core protein gene and dna polymerase gene of apv/03/2016 suggests that the virus belongs to the subclade b1 cluster of clade b (canarypox virus). the blast results showed the highest similarity of the two genes with the pacific shearwater-isolated ... | 2020 | 32267119 |
| the complete mitochondrial genomes of tarsiger cyanurus and phoenicurus auroreus: a phylogenetic analysis of passeriformes. | passeriformes is the largest group within aves and the phylogenetic relationships between passeriformes have caused major disagreement in ornithology. particularly, the phylogenetic relationships between muscicapoidea and sylvioidea are complex, and their taxonomic boundaries have not been clearly defined. our aim was to study the status of two bird species: tarsiger cyanurus and phoenicurus auroreus. furthermore, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of passeriformes. complete mitochondria ... | 2018 | 29892923 |
