[chewing-lice species (phthiraptera) found on domestic and wild birds in turkey.]	this study was carried out 48 domestic and wild bird samples belonging to 15 different species. birds that were killed by traffic on the roads as well as birds that were ill or injured were brought for investigation to the veterinary faculty or animal keeping house of konya municipal. firstly, all of them were inspected macroscopically for ectoparasites. then, they were treated with an insecticidal drug, propoxur in a cartoon box. one long-eared owl, one eurasian buzzard, four long-legged buzzar ...	2010	20340090
distribution of neuropeptides in endocrine and exocrine pancreas of long-legged buzzard (buteo rufinus): an immunohistochemical study.	this study aimed to determine the existence and distribution of certain neuropeptides in endocrine and exocrine pancreas of the long-legged buzzard by using immunohistochemical methods. som-14-, npy- and cgrp-ir endocrine cells were determined in both central and peripheral regions in a-islets within the pancreas, while sp-ir endocrine cells were found only in the central region, and cck-8- and galanin-ir endocrine cells were only detected in peripheral region. on the other hand, in b-islets; sp ...	2011	20959123

anatomical and scanning electron microscopic investigations of the tongue and laryngeal entrance in the long-legged buzzard (buteo rufinus, cretzschmar, 1829).	this research aimed to examine the morphological features of the tongue and laryngeal entrance of long-legged buzzard by macroscopic and scanning electron microscopic methods. two adult buzzards were used as material. the tongue was fairly elongated and terminated in oval shovel-like apex. scale-like projections were localized on the apex and body of tongue. both lateral sides of lingual body were contained considerably long thread-like projections. many orifices of lingual posterior salivary gl ...	2012	22496047
the branching pattern of the aortic arch in the long-legged buzzard (buteo rufinus cretzschmar 1829).	the aim of this study was to investigate the vascular branching morphology of the aortic arch in the long-legged buzzard. for this purpose, two long-legged buzzards were evaluated in this study. the latex injection method was used to investigate the branching of the aortic arch. two innominate brachiocephalic trunks branched continually from aortic arch caudoventral to the primary bronchi and ventral to the syrinx. the left subclavian artery gave rise to sternoclavicular, thoracic, axillary and ...	2014	24136451
the long term response of birds to climate change: new results from a cold stage avifauna in northern england.	the early mis 3 (55-40 kyr bp associated with middle palaeolithic archaeology) bird remains from pin hole, creswell crags, derbyshire, england are analysed in the context of the new dating of the site's stratigraphy. the analysis is restricted to the material from the early mis 3 level of the cave because the upper fauna is now known to include holocene material as well as that from the late glacial. the results of the analysis confirm the presence of the taxa, possibly unexpected for a late ple ...	2015	25992609
multidimensional differentiation in foraging resource use during breeding of two sympatric top predators.	ecologically-similar species were found to develop specific strategies to partition their resources, leading to niche differentiation and divergence, in order to avoid interspecific competition. our study determines multi-dimensional differentiation of two sympatric top-predators, long-legged buzzards (llb) and short-toed eagles (ste), which recently became sympatric during their breeding season in the judean foothills, israel. by combining information from comprehensive diet and movement analys ...	2016	27725734
