| the complete mitochondrial genome of numenius phaeopus (charadriiformes, scolopacidae). | the complete sequence of the mitochondrial dna genome of numenius phaeopus was determined using the polymerase chain reaction method. the whole genome (17,091 bp in length) contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes [pcgs], 2 rrna genes and 22 trna genes) and a control region (d-loop), which was similar to the typical mtdna of vertebrates. almost all the pcgs in n. phaeopus were distributed on the h-strand, except for the nd6 subunit gene and eight trna genes, which were encoded on the l-strand ... | 2016 | 25630727 |
| the effects of habitat type and volcanic eruptions on the breeding demography of icelandic whimbrels numenius phaeopus. | distinct preference of species for habitats is most often driven by long term differences in demographic rates between habitats. estimating variation in those rates is key for developing successful conservation strategies. stochastic events can interact with underlying variation in habitat quality in regulating demography but the opportunities to explore such interactions are rare. whimbrels in iceland show a strong preference for sparsely vegetated riverplains. such habitats in iceland face var ... | 2015 | 26161860 |
| very rapid long-distance sea crossing by a migratory bird. | landbirds undertaking within-continent migrations have the possibility to stop en route, but most long-distance migrants must also undertake large non-stop sea crossings, the length of which can vary greatly. for shorebirds migrating from iceland to west africa, the shortest route would involve one of the longest continuous sea crossings while alternative, mostly overland, routes are available. using geolocators to track the migration of icelandic whimbrels (numenius phaeopus), we show that they ... | 2016 | 27901077 |

| oswaldotrema nacinovici gen. nov. sp. nov. (digenea: philophthalmidae) from numenius phaeopus (aves: scolopacidae) in brazil. | a new genus, oswaldotrema gen. nov. is proposed. oswaldotrema nacinovici sp. nov. is descibed from numenius phaeopus latham, 1790. differentiation from the other related genera, namely philophthalmus, pygorchis, proctobium, parorchis, echinostephila, cloacitrema, pittacium, ophthalmotrema, skrjabinovermis and paratrema, was based on morphological characters, mainly on those referring to the body surface, body shape, head, esophagus, pharynx, acetabulum, vitellaria, vitelline reservoir and semina ... | 2003 | 10800187 |
| catabolic capacity of the muscles of shorebird chicks: maturation of function in relation to body size. | newly hatched precocial chicks of arctic shorebirds are able to walk and regulate their body temperatures to a limited extent. yet, they must also grow rapidly to achieve independence before the end of the short arctic growing season. a rapid growth rate may conflict with development of mature function, and because of the allometric scaling of thermal relationships, this trade-off might be resolved differently in large and small species. we assessed growth (mass) and functional maturity (catabol ... | 2006 | 11247744 |
| does growth rate determine the rate of metabolism in shorebird chicks living in the arctic? | we measured resting and peak metabolic rates (rmr and pmr, respectively) during development of chicks of seven species of shorebirds: least sandpiper (calidris minutilla; adult mass 20-22 g), dunlin (calidris alpina; 56-62 g), lesser yellowlegs (tringa flavipes; 88-92 g), short-billed dowitcher (limnodromus griseus; 85-112 g), lesser golden plover (pluvialis dominicana; 150-156 g), hudsonian godwit (limosa haemastica; 205-274 g), and whimbrel (numenius phaeopus; 380 g). we tested two opposing hy ... | 2007 | 17717813 |
| nereidid polychaetes as the major diet of migratory shorebirds on the estuarine tidal flats at fujimae-higata in japan. | the dietary items of five migratory shorebirds, dunlin (calidris alpina), red-necked stint (c. ruficollis), grey plover (pluvialis squatarola), whimbrel (numenius phaeopus) and black-headed gull (larus ridibundus), were examined by analyses of fecal droppings during the birds' migration or wintering and by surveys of macrobenthic fauna around their foraging sites on the tidal flats of fujimae-higata, nagoya, central japan. body parts of nereidid, capitellid, and spionid polychaetes and crustacea ... | 2007 | 17824775 |
| the relationships between morphological characteristics and foraging behavior in four selected species of shorebirds and water birds utilizing tropical mudflats. | a study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the physical morphology of shorebirds and water birds (i.e., lesser adjutant (leptoptilos javanicus), common redshank (tringa totanus), whimbrel (numenius phaeopus), and little heron (butorides striata)) and their foraging behavior in the mudflats area of selangor, peninsular malaysia, from august 2013 to july 2014 by using direct observation techniques (using binoculars and a video recorder). the actively foraging bird species were w ... | 2015 | 26345324 |
| surveillance of charadriiformes in northern australia shows species variations in exposure to avian influenza virus and suggests negligible virus prevalence. | the virologic surveillance of 4248 charadriiformes since 1992 primarily from coastal northwest australia did not detect any evidence of avian influenza virus (aiv) excretion (test prevalence = 0%; 95% confidence interval [ci]: 0%-0.09%). past exposure to aiv was evident from serologic testing using nucleoprotein (np) competitive-elisa (c-elisa) with an overall seroprevalence of 8.8% (95% ci: 8%-9.7%). the c-elisa seroprevalence of family scolopacidae and genus numenius was significantly higher w ... | 2014 | 25055621 |
| [sequence variation of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and phylogenetic relationships among twelve species of charadriiformes]. | studies of the phylogenetic relationships of the charadriiformes have been largely based on conservative morphological characters. during the past 10 years, many studies on the evolutionary biology of birds adopted phylogenetic information obtained from mitochondrial dna, but few work on the charadriiformes has been reported to date. therefore, phylogenetic relationships and classification of the charadriiformes remains controversial. in this study, we try to shed light on these relationships vi ... | 2003 | 12924155 |
| metabolic response to wind of downy chicks of arctic-breeding shorebirds (scolopacidae). | wind is a significant factor in the thermoregulation of chicks of shorebirds on the arctic tundra. we investigated the effect of wind at speeds typical of near-surface conditions (0.1-3 ms(-1)) on metabolic heat production, evaporative cooling and thermal conductance of 1- to 3- week-old downy scolopacid chicks (least sandpiper calidris minutilla; short-billed dowitcher limnodromus griseus; whimbrel numenius phaeopus). body mass ranged from 9 to 109 g. to accurately measure the interacting effec ... | 2002 | 12364397 |
| long distance dispersal of the beach strawberry, fragaria chiloensis, from north america to chile and hawaii. | the beach strawberry, fragaria chiloensis (l.) duch, is found in a narrow coastal band from the aleutian islands to central california and then jumps thousands of kilometers all the way to hawaii and chile. since it likely had a north american origin, it must have been introduced to the other locations by long distance dispersal. the aim of this study was to determine which agent carried the beach strawberry to its pacific and south american locations. | 2020 | 32914164 |
| population genomics of two congeneric palaearctic shorebirds reveals differential impacts of quaternary climate oscillations across habitats types. | intracontinental biotic divisions across the vast palaearctic region are not well-characterized. past research has revealed patterns ranging from a lack of population structure to deep divergences along varied lines of separation. here we compared biogeographic patterns of two palaearctic shorebirds with different habitat preferences, whimbrel (numenius phaeopus) and eurasian curlew (n. arquata). using genome-wide markers from populations across the palaearctic, we applied a multitude of populat ... | 2019 | 31796810 |
| recovery of oswaldotrema nacinovici from whimbrels (aves) in korea. | adult specimens of oswaldotrema nacinovici (digenea: philophthalmidae) have been first identified in korea from 2 migratory birds (whimbrels, numenius phaeopus) which were found dead at a western seashore area near gunsan. the worms were recovered in the intestine of these birds. the worms were morphologically characterized by a large ventral sucker in comparison to the oral sucker, an external seminal vesicle extending beyond the posterior margin of the ventral sucker, and conspicuous uterine s ... | 2016 | 28095668 |
