| prevalence of blood parasites in japanese wild birds. | the prevalence of blood parasites was investigated in 701 japanese wild birds for 13 years from january, 1988 to march, 2001. most of the injured or sick birds were caught in the suburbs of kobe city, hyogo prefecture and brought to the zoo for clinical care. among all the birds examined, 10.6% were infected with hematozoa belonging to three genera as plasmodium (1.7% of the samples), haemoproteus (5.1% of the samples) and leucocytozoon (4.6% of the samples), and two birds (0.29% of the samples) ... | 2002 | 12399602 |
| [animal predation and dispersal of sorbus pohuashanensis fruits and seeds]. | sorbus pohuashanensis is an important non-timber tree species in northeast china. there are two approaches for its fruit- and seed dispersal, i. e. , natural dispersal and animal dispersal. in this paper, a field observation was conducted to study the characteristics of animal predation and dispersal of s. pohuashanensis fruits and seeds, and the effects of the predation and dispersal on the natural regeneration of the tree species. during the fruit-ripening stage of s. pohuashanensis in 2008 an ... | 2010 | 21328960 |
| sobolevitaenia japonensis n. sp. (dilepididae: dilepidinae) from a dusky thrush, turdus naumanni eunomus temminck, in oita prefecture, japan. | sobolevitaenia japonensis n. sp. (cestoda: dilepididae) is described from eight specimens from the small intestine of a dusky thrush, turdus naumanni eunomus temminck, collected at beppu city, oita prefecture, japan. s. japonensis most closely resembles s. moldavica among the 11 species now assigned to the genus sobolevitaenia, from which it is distinguished by a smaller number of proglottids, a larger scolex and a smaller number of testes of larger size, and a larger vitelline gland. | 2000 | 11227759 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of naumann's thrush turdus naumanni (passeriformes: turdidae). | the mitochondrial dna of naumann's thrush turdus naumanni (passeriformes: turdidae) is 16,750 bp long with a + t contents of 52.79%. it has typical circular mitochondrial genomes that encode the complete set of 37 genes which are usually found in birds. all protein-coding genes use the standard mitochondrial initiation codon atg, except for nd2 and coi start with gtg. tan is the most frequent stop codon, and agn and t- - are also occurred very common. all trnas possess the classic clover leaf se ... | 2016 | 24983147 |
