| cutaneous trematode collyriclum faba in wild birds in the central european carpathians. | the occurrence of cutaneous trematode collyriclum faba in wild birds was monitored in the central european carpathians from 1996 to 2001. a total of 5,414 birds, representing 86 species, was examined. collyriclum faba was found at 7 sites (5 in slovakia, 1 in poland, and 1 in the czech republic), and prevalences at the sites varied from 1 to 16%. ten species of passerine birds were infected: blackcap (sylvia atricapilla) (16 positive/622 tested, 2% prevalence), black redstart (phoenicurus ochrur ... | 2003 | 12760670 |
| insect ectoparasites from wild passerine birds in the czech republic. | wild passerine birds (passeriformes) from northeastern part of the czech republic were examined for ectoparasites. three species of louse-flies of the genus ornithomya (diptera: hippoboscidae), two species of fleas of the genera ceratophyllus and dasypsyllus (siphonaptera: ceratophyllidae), and 15 species of chewing lice belonging to the genera myrsidea, menacanthus (phthiraptera: menoponidae), brueelia, penenirmus, philopterus (phthiraptera: philopteridae) were found on 82 birds of 23 species. ... | 2008 | 19202768 |
| riparian bird communities as indicators of human impacts along mediterranean streams. | riparian areas link aquatic and terrestrial habitats, supporting species-rich bird communities, which integrate both terrestrial and aquatic processes. for this reason, inclusion of riparian birds in stream bioassessment could add to the information currently provided by existing programs that monitor aquatic organisms. to assess if bird community metrics could indicate stream conditions, we sampled breeding birds in the riparian zone of 37 reaches in 5 streams draining watersheds representing a ... | 2010 | 20066532 |
| intermediate hosts of the trematode collyriclum faba (plagiochiida: collyriclidae) identified by an integrated morphological and genetic approach. | the cutaneous monostome trematode collyriclum faba (bremser in schmalz, 1831) is a bird parasite with a hitherto unknown life cycle and highly focal occurrence across the holarctic and neotropic ecozones. | 2015 | 25889245 |
| feather mites of the genus passeroptes fain (acariformes: dermationidae) from passerines (aves: passeriformes) of china. | five new species of the feather mite genus passeroptes (acariformes: dermationidae) are recorded from birds of the order passeriformes in china: p. lioparis sp. nov. from chrysotus chrysotis (blyth) (paradoxornithidae); p. motacillae sp. nov. from motacilla cinerea tunstall (motacillidae); p. cyanodermae sp. nov. from cyanoderma ruficeps blyth (timaliidae); p. periparus sp. nov. from periparus ater (linnaeus) (paridae); p. aegithalos sp. nov. from aegithalos iouschistos bonvaloti (oustalet) (aeg ... | 2015 | 26250023 |
| feather mites (acari, astigmata) from azorean passerines (aves, passeriformes): lower species richness compared to european mainland. | ten passerine species were examined on three islands of the azores (north atlantic) during 2013 and 2014 in order to identify their feather mite assemblages. we recorded 19 feather mite species belonging to four families of the superfamily analgoidea (analgidae, proctophyllodidae, psoroptoididae and trouessartiidae). a high prevalence of feather mite species was recorded on the majority of the examined host species. only three passerine species (sylvia atricapilla, regulus regulus and serinus ca ... | 2015 | 25665827 |
| patterns of contamination by organochlorines and mercury in the eggs of two river passerines in britain and ireland with reference to individual pcb congeners. | unhatched eggs were collected in 1988 and 1990 from nests of the eurasian dipper cinclus cinclus and the grey wagtail motacilla cinerea in wales, eastern scotland and south-western ireland. mercury concentrations in dipper eggs (geometric means 0.45-0.91 ppm (microg g(-1)) dry mass) were significantly lower in eastern scotland than in either south-western ireland or wales, where the incidence of detectable residues increased markedly between 1988 (2% of eggs) and 1990 (69%). by contrast, dde (ge ... | 1992 | 15091988 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of motacilla cinerea (passeriformes: motacillidae). | motacilla cinerea is a species of small- and medium-sized songbird in the family motacillidae, which is widely distributed. in this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of m. cinerea. the result showed that the total length of the mitogenome was 16 825 bp and contained two ribosomal rna genes, 22 transfer rna genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and one control region. all the genes in m. cinerea were distributed on the h-strand, except for the nd6 subunit gene and eight trna genes ... | 2016 | 26328907 |
| trophic ecology of the grey wagtail motacilla cinerea before and during the breeding season in the region of bejaia (algeria). | the diet composition of the grey wagtail motacilla cinerea of the babor range is followed by analysis of faecal samples (90 faeces) before and during the breeding season 2010. the grey wagtail's diet varies depending on the stage of the breeding cycle at the southern edge of their breeding area in north africa (bejaia). the diet consists predominantly of aquatic preys (51.79%), with coleoptera being the most frequent constituent (n=331, 45.5%). during the pre-laying period (february-march), the ... | 2014 | 25103832 |
