| occurrence of cryptosporidium oocysts in wrinkled hornbill and other birds in the kuala lumpur national zoo. | the occurrence of a coccidian parasite, cryptosporidium, among birds in the kuala lumpur national zoo was investigated in this study. a hundred bird fecal samples were taken from various locations of the zoo. fecal smears prepared using direct smear and formalin ethyl acetate concentration technique were stained with modified ziehl-neelsen stain. samples positive for cryptosporidium with ziehl-neelsen stain were later confirmed using the immunofluorescence technique and viewed under the epifluor ... | 2005 | 16438177 |
| the genetic link between the chinese bamboo partridge (bambusicola thoracica) and the chicken and junglefowls of the genus gallus. | further comparison of mitochondrial control-region dna base sequences of 16 avian species belonging to the subfamily phasianinae revealed the following: (i) generalized perdicine birds (quails and partridges) are of ancient lineages. even the closest pair, the common quail (coturnix coturnix japonica) and the chinese bamboo partridge (bambusicola thoracica), maintained only 85.71% identity. (ii) the 12 species of phasianine birds previously and presently studied belonged to three distinct branch ... | 1995 | 7479935 |
| assessing the spatiotemporal interactions of mesopredators in sumatra's tropical rainforest. | co-occurrence between mesopredators can be achieved by differentiation of prey, temporal activity, and spatial habitat use. the study of mesopredator interactions is a growing area of research in tropical forests and shedding new light on inter-guild competition between threatened vertebrate species that were previously little understood. here, we investigate sympatry between the sunda clouded leopard (neofelis diardi) and asiatic golden cat (pardofelis temminckii) living in the sumatran rainfor ... | 2018 | 30231043 |
| clonal spread of yersinia enterocolitica 1b/o:8 in multiple zoo species. | yersinia enterocolitica (ye) bioserotype 1b/o:8 (ye 1b/o:8) was identified in routine culture of a variety of zoo species housed at omaha's henry doorly zoo and aquarium (ohdza) from april to july 2011. animal cases representing 12 species had ye detected from 34 cases during routine fecal monitoring and/or during postmortem examination: coquerel's sifakas (propithecus coquereli, two cases), black & white (bw) ruffed lemurs (varecia variegata variegata, six cases), red ruffed lemurs (varecia rub ... | 2020 | 32212560 |

| bird species and traits associated with logged and unlogged forest in borneo. | the ecological consequences of logging have been and remain a focus of considerable debate. in this study, we assessed bird species composition within a logging concession in central kalimantan, indonesian borneo. within the study area (approximately 196 km2) a total of 9747 individuals of 177 bird species were recorded. our goal was to identify associations between species traits and environmental variables. this can help us to understand the causes of disturbance and predict whether species wi ... | 2007 | 17555227 |
