| conservation priority of global galliformes species based on phylogenetic diversity. | in this study, based on phylogenetic diversity (pd), i develop a conservation strategy for galliformes species around the world. a cladogram of 197 galliformes species derived from a previous study was used for calculating pd metrics. branch length is an important aspect of the phylogenetic information a tree can convey, but 2 traditionally-used metrics, the number of phylogenetic groups to which a taxon belongs (i) and the proportion that each taxon contributes to the total diversity of the gro ... | 2014 | 24148297 |
| 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 |
| [potential nest predators of syrmaticus reevesii based on camera traps and artificial nests.] | in order to understand the background of the field breeding ecology of reeves's pheasant (syrmaticus reevesii) inside and outside of protected area, an investigation on nest predation rate, potential nest predators and the habitat factors affecting nest predation was conducted at dongzhai national nature reserve, henan province and pingjingguan village, hubei province, which were protected and non-protected area, respectively. the fieldwork was conducted from march to july 2014, and artificial n ... | 2016 | 29737706 |
| the amino acid sequence of reeves' pheasant (syrmaticus reevesii) lysozyme. | the amino acid sequence of reeves' pheasant lysozyme was analyzed. carboxymethylated lysozyme was digested with trypsin and resulting peptides were analyzed using the dabitc/pitc double coupling manual edman method. the established amino acid sequence had seven substitutions, tyr3, leu15, his41, his77, ser79, arg102, and asn121, compared with hen egg-white lysozyme. ser79 was the first found in a bird lysozyme. a substitution in the active site was found in position 102 which has been considered ... | 1991 | 1368713 |
| breeding habitat selection of reeves's pheasant (syrmaticus reevesii) in dongzhai national nature reserve, henan province, china. | reeves's pheasant (syrmaticus reevesii) is a threatened pheasant species endemic to china. the habitat use of territorial male birds was surveyed by the help of live decoys in a core area of dongzhai national nature reserve. the breeding habitat selection of this pheasant was examined at two scales (115 m and 250 m scale, i.e. 4.15 hm(2 ) and 19.63 hm(2 ), respectively), including the characteristics at distance scale. investigation was based on line transect, rs and gis in dongzhai national nat ... | 2010 | 20545010 |
| nest survival rate of reeves's pheasant (syrmaticus reevesii) based on artificial nest experiments. | to explore the nest survival rate of reeves's pheasant(syrmaticus reevesii) and the nest-site factors that affect it, we conducted artificial nest experiments with reference to natural nests at dongzhai national nature reserve(dnnr), henan province and pingjingguan, hubei province from april to june 2014 simulating the situation in its early and later breeding season. we also determined distance characteristics of the nest sites by arcgis 10.0. nest survival models were constructed in program ma ... | 2017 | 28271670 |
