| auditory brainstem responses in the eastern screech owl: an estimate of auditory thresholds. | the auditory brainstem response (abr), a measure of neural synchrony, was used to estimate auditory sensitivity in the eastern screech owl (megascops asio). the typical screech owl abr waveform showed two to three prominent peaks occurring within 5 ms of stimulus onset. as sound pressure levels increased, the abr peak amplitude increased and latency decreased. with an increasing stimulus presentation rate, abr peak amplitude decreased and latency increased. generally, changes in the abr waveform ... | 2005 | 16119351 |
| the training and transfer of real-world perceptual expertise. | a hallmark of perceptual expertise is that experts classify objects at a more specific, subordinate level of abstraction than novices. to what extent does subordinate-level learning contribute to the transfer of perceptual expertise to novel exemplars and novel categories? in this study, participants learned to classify 10 varieties of wading birds and 10 varieties of owls at either the subordinate, species (e.g., "great blue crown heron,"eastern screech owl") or the family ("wading bird,"owl") ... | 2005 | 15686581 |
| corticosterone, body condition and locomotor activity: a model for dispersal in screech-owls | a model that explains natal dispersal in resident screech-owls is presented and examined. the model is based on interactions among hormonal changes, body condition and social stimuli. it predicts that corticosterone, an adrenal glucocorticoid known to stimulate locomotor and foraging activity, increases in blood plasma prior to dispersal through a combination of endogenous and exogenous events. this mediates the locomotor activity that underlies dispersal behaviour. juveniles in good body condit ... | 1998 | 9480707 |
| live blind snakes (leptotyphlops dulcis) in eastern screech owl (otus asio) nests: a novel commensalism. | eastern screech owls bring live blind snakes to their nestlings, whereas all other prey are delivered dead. some of the snakes are eaten but most live in nest debris, where they eat soft-bodied insect larvae from the decomposer community in fecal matter, pellets, and uneaten prey. consumption of larvae may reduce larval parasitism on owl nestlings or larval competition with nestlings for food stored in the nest, because nestlings with live-in blind snakes grow faster and experience lower mortali ... | 1987 | 28312227 |
| effects of fluoride on screech owl reproduction: teratological evaluation, growth, and blood chemistry in hatchlings. | the effects on reproduction in screech owls (otus asio) of chronic dietary sodium fluoride administration at 0, 40, and 200 ppm were examined. fluoride at 40 ppm resulted in a significantly smaller egg volume, while 200 ppm also resulted in lower egg weights and lengths. day-one hatchlings in the 200 ppm group weighed almost 10% less than controls and had shorter crown-rump lengths. no gross abnormalities were apparent. skeletal clearing and staining revealed significantly shorter tibiotarsus le ... | 1985 | 4024153 |
| black-capped chickadees (poecile atricapillus) alter alarm call duration and peak frequency in response to traffic noise. | anthropogenic noise is an often-overlooked byproduct of urbanization and affects the soundscape in which birds communicate. previous studies assessing the impact of traffic noise have focused on bird song, with many studies demonstrating the ability of birds to raise song frequency in the presence of low-frequency traffic noise to avoid masking. less is known about the impact of traffic noise on avian alarm calls, which is surprising given the degree to which predator information within alarm ca ... | 2020 | 33119633 |
| investigating spatial patterns of mercury and rodenticide residues in raptors collected near the charlotte, nc, usa, metropolitan area. | raptor population growth is dynamic and trends vary across species and by location in the united states. for those species that are declining, it is important to identify potential causes including chemical contaminants. sampling wild raptors is problematic due to their small population sizes and role as a top predator. therefore, we obtained liver samples (n = 56) from carcasses of several raptor species, including common species like red-tailed hawks, red-shouldered hawks, barred owls, great h ... | 2018 | 30251047 |
| frequency sensitivity in northern saw-whet owls (aegolius acadicus). | northern saw-whet owls (aegolius acadicus) are known for their unique asymmetrical ear structure and ability to localize prey acoustically, yet few attempts have been made to explore the auditory capabilities of this species. in this study, we evoked auditory brainstem responses (abrs) with tonebursts to assess three main hypotheses regarding the evolution of auditory sensitivity: sender-receiver matching, ecological constraints, and phylogenetic/morphological constraints. we found that abr ampl ... | 2018 | 28993864 |
| effects of isoflurane anesthesia on the hematologic values of rehabilitated wild owls. | isoflurane anesthesia is commonly used for owls when they are being rehabilitated to minimize stress during treatments and procedures, as well as to ensure caretaker safety. however, the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on the hematologic response of owls are not known. to investigate the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on the hematology of owls, 3 phases of investigation were performed on the subject animals: 1) single, short manual- versus single, short isoflurane-restraint episodes (n = 12; ... | 2019 | 31833305 |
| trauma-induced uveitis and free air in the anterior chamber of three eastern screech owls (megascops asio). | unusual ocular abnormalities were documented in 3 wild eastern screech owls (megascops asio) presented to a wildlife rehabilitation hospital after vehicular strike-induced trauma to the head. all 3 had anterior uveitis and free air bubbles in the anterior chamber, but none of the cases had any discernable corneal damage, either grossly or with fluorescein stain technique. perforation of the globe at the level of the scleral ossicle was considered a possible cause. all 3 cases recovered with stan ... | 2018 | 31112645 |
| evolutionary progression of mitochondrial gene rearrangements and phylogenetic relationships in strigidae (strigiformes). | the bird mitogenome is generally considered to have a conservative genome size, consistent gene content, and similar gene order. as more mitogenomes are sequenced, mitochondrial (mt) gene rearrangements have been frequently identified among diverse birds. within two genera (bubo and strix) of typical owls (strigidae, strigiformes), the rearrangement of the mt gene has been a subject of debate. in the current study, we first sequenced the whole mitogenomes of s. uralensis and b. scandiaca and res ... | 2018 | 29940272 |
