| [habitat selection of four sympatric pheasants in guanshan national nature reserve, jiangxi, china]. | habitat selection of four sympatric pheasants (syrmaticus ellioti, lophura nycthemera, pucrasia macrolopha and bumbusicola thoracica) was studied in guanshan national nature reserve, jiangxi, china from october 2009 to november 2010. we measured seventeen ecological factors across 388 sites used by the four pheasants by direct observation in six transects. the results show that the pheasants preferred broad-leaved forest and coniferous forest and a sunny or semi-shaded slope. there were differen ... | 2012 | 22467392 |
| seasonal variations in the energy budget of elliot's pheasant (syrmaticus ellioti) in cage. | this study aimed to discuss the energy budget of elliot's pheasant syrmaticus ellioti in different seasons, with life and health, good growth and normal digestion of elliot's pheasant as the tested objects, the energy budget of elliot's pheasant was measured by daily collection of the trial pheasants' excrement in the biological garden of guangxi normal university from march 2011 to february 2012. the results showed that the gross energy consumption, metabolic energy and excrement energy varied ... | 2013 | 23389983 |
| metabolism and thermoregulation between mrs hume's pheasant (syrmaticus humiae) and elliot's pheasant (s. ellioti). | to understand metabolic adaptations, the basal metabolic rate (bmr) of mrs hume's pheasant (syrmaticus humiae) and elliot's pheasant (syrmaticus ellioti) were investigated. metabolic rate (mr), body temperature (t(b) ) and thermal conductance (c) were determined in both species at a temperatrue range of 5-35 degrees celsius, respectively. oxygen consumption was measured with a closed circuit respirometer. the thermal neutral zones (tnz) were 24.5-31.6 degrees celsius, and 23.0-29.2 degrees celsi ... | 2011 | 21842536 |
| [genetic analysis of microsatellite polymorphism in the elliot's pheasant (syrmaticus ellioti) in china]. | in this study, we reported the population genetic analyses in the elliot's pheasant(syrnaticus ellioti) using seven polymorphism microsatellite loci based on 105 individuals from 4 geographical populations. departures from hardy-weinberg equilibrium were found in four geographical populations. the average number of alleles was 8.86, with a total of 62 alleles across 7 loci; observed heterozygosity (ho) was generally low and the average number was 0.504. for the seven microsatellite loci, the pol ... | 2010 | 20979247 |
| an application of control region sequence as a matrilineage marker for elliot's pheasant of a zoo population. | control region sequence, an mtdna marker, was usually used in phylogenesis analysis in species level or genetic structure study among populations. in this study, enlightened by its character of maternal heredity in vertebrates, we used control region sequence as a matrilineage marker for elliot's pheasant (syrmaticus ellioti) of ningbo zoo population. in ningbo zoo, 36 individuals of elliot's pheasant were descendants from three female founders introduced in 1988. three control region haplotypes ... | 2005 | 15926259 |
| a genetic diversity comparison between captive individuals and wild individuals of elliot's pheasant (syrmaticus ellioti) using mitochondrial dna. | maintaining genetic diversity is a major issue in conservation biology. in this study, we demonstrate the differences of genetic diversity levels between wild and captive individuals of elliot's pheasant syrmaticus ellioti. wild individuals showed a higher genetic diversity level than that of the captive individuals. nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity of wild individuals were 0.00628 and 0.993, while those of captive individuals were 0.00150 and 0.584 respectively. only 3 haplotypes of ... | 2005 | 15822157 |
