| a comprehensive cytogenetic analysis of several members of the family columbidae (aves, columbiformes). | the columbidae species (aves, columbiformes) show considerable variation in their diploid numbers (2n = 68-86), but there is limited understanding of the events that shaped the extant karyotypes. hence, we performed whole chromosome painting (wcp) for paints gga1-10 and bacterial artificial chromosome (bac) probes for chromosomes gga11-28 for columbina passerina, columbina talpacoti, patagioenas cayennensis, geotrygon violacea and geotrygon montana. streptopelia decaocto was only investigated wi ... | 2020 | 32521831 |
| two new quill mite species of the genus psittaciphilus fain, bochkov & mironov, 2000 (acariformes: syringophilidae) associated with pigeons and doves (columbiformes: columbidae). | two new quill mite species of the genus psittaciphilus fain, bochkov & mironov, 2000 (acariformes: prostigmata: syringophilidae) collected from columbiform birds (columbiformes) are described: psittaciphilus montanus n. sp. form the ruddy quail-dove geotrygon montana gosse from trinidad and tobago, brazil and panama, and psittaciphilus patagioenas n. sp. from the band-tailed pigeon patagioenas fasciata (say) from colombia and the scaled pigeon patagioenas speciosa (gmelin) from surinam. a key to ... | 2018 | 30353298 |
