| karyotypic evolution in the galliformes: an examination of the process of karyotypic evolution by comparison of the molecular cytogenetic findings with the molecular phylogeny. | to define the process of karyotypic evolution in the galliformes on a molecular basis, we conducted genome-wide comparative chromosome painting for eight species, i.e. silver pheasant (lophura nycthemera), lady amherst's pheasant (chrysolophus amherstiae), ring-necked pheasant (phasianus colchicus), turkey (meleagris gallopavo), western capercaillie (tetrao urogallus), chinese bamboo-partridge (bambusicola thoracica) and common peafowl (pavo cristatus) of the phasianidae, and plain chachalaca (o ... | 2004 | 15218250 |

| organochlorine pesticide residues in plain chachalacas from south texas, 1971-72. | plain chachalacas (ortalis vetula) from the intensively cultivated and sprayed lower rio grande valley of texas were analyzed for pesticide residues during 1971 and 1972. residues of eight organochlorine pesticides and a polychlorinated biphenyl were identified in fat tissues of specimens collected from four study areas. chemicals detected in all 24 birds and average residue levels (+/- sd) in ppm wet weight were: ddt (1.52 +/- 4.12), dde (2.48 +/- 2.09), dieldrin (0.23 +/- 0.59), endrin (0.13 + ... | 1976 | 1005065 |
| use of afoxolaner for the treatment of lice (goniodes pavonis) in different genera (chrysolophus spp, lophura spp, phasianus spp, and syrmaticus spp) and species of pheasants and west mexican chachalacas (ortalis poliocephala). | lice are ectoparasites capable of affecting birds, and can result in direct and indirect damage to their host. afoxolaner is an isoxazoline that has been shown to be effective against these ectoparasites without known adverse effects. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of afoxolaner on lice in pheasants and plain chachalacas. a total of 29 pheasants of different genera and species (chrysolophus pictus, c. amherstiae, lophura swinghoii, l. nycthemera, phasianus colchicus, a ... | 2020 | 32203695 |
