wildlife disease and conservation in hawaii: pathogenicity of avian malaria (plasmodium relictum) in experimentally infected iiwi (vestiaria coccinea).		1995	8632925
pathogenicity of avian malaria in experimentally-infected hawaii amakihi.	the introduction of avian malaria (plasmodium relictum) and mosquitoes (culex quinquefasciatus) to the hawaiian islands (usa) is believed to have played a major role in the decline and extinction of native hawaiian honeycreepers (drepanidinae). this introduced disease is thought to be one of the primary factors limiting recovery of honeycreepers at elevations below 1,200 m where native forest habitats are still relatively intact. one of the few remaining species of honeycreepers with a wide elev ...	2000	10813599
genetic structure along an elevational gradient in hawaiian honeycreepers reveals contrasting evolutionary responses to avian malaria.	the hawaiian honeycreepers (drepanidinae) are one of the best-known examples of an adaptive radiation, but their persistence today is threatened by the introduction of exotic pathogens and their vector, the mosquito culex quinquefasciatus. historically, species such as the amakihi (hemignathus virens), the apapane (himatione sanguinea), and the iiwi (vestiaria coccinea) were found from the coastal lowlands to the high elevation forests, but by the late 1800's they had become extremely rare in ha ...	2008	19014596
