| successful eradication of the european rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus) and house mouse (mus musculus) from the island of selvagem grande (macaronesian archipelago), in the eastern atlantic. | the portuguese island of selvagem grande (great salvage) in macaronesia is an important seabird breeding station in the eastern atlantic. significant populations of cory's shearwater calonectris diomedea (scopoli, 1769), bulwer's petrel bulweria bulweria (jardine & selby, 1828) and little shearwater puffinus assimilis baroli (bonaparte, 1857) are present, and white-faced storm-petrel pelagodroma marina (latham, 1790) and madeiran storm-petrel oceanodroma castro (harcourt, 1851) populations are o ... | 2010 | 21392324 |
| Serosurveillance for Japanese encephalitis virus in wild birds captured in Korea. | Climate change induced by recent global warming may have a significant impact on vector-borne and zoonotic diseases. For example, the distribution of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) has expanded into new regions. We surveyed the levels of hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibodies against JEV (Family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus) in wild birds captured in Korea. Blood samples were collected from 1,316 wild birds including the following migratory birds: Oceanodroma castro (n = 4), Anas formo ... | 2011 | 22122903 |
| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 february 2012 - 31 march 2012. | this article documents the addition of 171 microsatellite marker loci and 27 pairs of single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) sequencing primers to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: bombus pauloensis, cephalorhynchus heavisidii, cercospora sojina, harpyhaliaetus coronatus, hordeum vulgare, lachnolaimus maximus, oceanodroma monteiroi, puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, rhea americana, salmo salar, salmo trutta, schistocephalus solidus, sousa p ... | 2012 | 22642264 |
| ixodes philipi: redescription of female and first description of male, with records from streaked shearwater in japan (acarina: ixodidae). | ixodes philipi keirans & kohls, 1970 is so far known only from two female specimens taken from the streaked shearwater, puffinus leucomelas (temminck, 1835) [presently calonectris leucomelas (temminck, 1835)], or the madeiran storm-petrel, oceanodroma castro (harcourt, 1851), in japan. we redescribe the female and describe the male of this species. we used nine adults (four males and five females) taken from the bodies of c. leucomelas and/or soil samples of their nest burrows in japan, indicati ... | 2005 | 15962766 |
| a phylogenetic test of sympatric speciation in the hydrobatinae (aves: procellariiformes). | phylogenetic relationships among species can provide insight into how new species arise. for example, careful consideration of both the phylogenetic and geographic distributions of species in a group can reveal the geographic models of speciation within the group. one such model, sympatric speciation, may be more common than previously thought. the hydrobatinae (aves: procellariformes) is a diverse subfamily of northern hemisphere storm-petrels for which the taxonomy is unclear. previous studies ... | 2017 | 27693526 |
| mechanisms of global diversification in the marine species madeiran storm-petrel oceanodroma castro and monteiro's storm-petrel o. monteiroi: insights from a multi-locus approach. | the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the geographic distribution of gene lineages in the marine environment are not as well understood as those affecting terrestrial groups. the continuous nature of the pelagic marine environment may limit opportunities for divergence to occur and lineages to spatially segregate, particularly in highly mobile species. here, we studied the phylogeography and historical demography of two tropically distributed, pelagic seabirds, the madeiran storm-petrel oceanod ... | 2016 | 26921843 |
| sympatric speciation by allochrony in a seabird. | the importance of sympatric speciation (the evolution of reproductive isolation between codistributed populations) in generating biodiversity is highly controversial. whereas potential examples of sympatric speciation exist for plants, insects, and fishes, most theoretical models suggest that it requires conditions that are probably not common in nature, and only two possible cases have been described for tetrapods. one mechanism by which it could occur is through allochronic isolation-separatio ... | 2007 | 18006662 |
| global phylogeography of the band-rumped storm-petrel (oceanodroma castro; procellariiformes: hydrobatidae). | factors shaping population differentiation in low latitude seabirds are not well-understood. in this study, we examined global patterns of dna sequence variation in the mitochondrial control region of the band-rumped storm-petrel (oceanodroma castro), a highly pelagic seabird distributed across the sub-tropical and tropical atlantic and pacific oceans. despite previous classification as a single, monotypic species, fixed haplotype differences occurred between atlantic and pacific populations, an ... | 2007 | 17408975 |
| differentiation of sympatric populations of the band-rumped storm-petrel in the galapagos islands: an examination of genetics, morphology, and vocalizations. | in each of at least two locations within the galapagos islands, breeding band-rumped storm-petrels (oceanodroma castro) form two distinct populations that use the same colony site at separate times of the year for reproduction. temporal segregation of these populations raises the possibility that they are reproductively isolated and represent cryptic species. we examined variation in mitochondrial dna, morphology, and vocalizations of storm-petrel populations nesting 6 months apart on the islet ... | 2007 | 17402976 |
| cryptic species and independent origins of allochronic populations within a seabird species complex (hydrobates spp.). | humans are inherently biased towards naming species based on morphological differences, which can lead to reproductively isolated species being mistakenly classified as one if they are morphologically similar. recognising cryptic diversity is needed to understand drivers of speciation fully, and for accurate estimates of global biodiversity and assessments for conservation. we investigated cryptic species across the range of band-rumped storm-petrels (hydrobates spp.): highly pelagic, nocturnal ... | 2019 | 31278983 |
| unexpectedly high genetic diversity in a rare and endangered seabird in the hawaiian archipelago. | seabirds in the order of procellariiformes have one of the highest proportions of threatened species of any avian order. species undergoing recovery may be predicted to have a genetic signature of a bottleneck, low genetic diversity, or higher rates of inbreeding. the hawaiian band-rumped storm petrel ('akē'akē; hydrobates castro), a long-lived philopatric seabird, suffered massive population declines resulting in its listing under the endangered species act in 2016 as federally endangered. we u ... | 2020 | 32071808 |
