| seed dispersal in hong kong, china: past, present and possible futures. | in the present article, published and unpublished information regarding seed dispersal in the degraded landscape of hong kong, china, is reviewed. information was available for 1681 native plant species, of which 1165 were assigned to probable seed dispersal modes. endozoochory accounted for one-third (34.4%) of all species evaluated, half (54.4%) of those from forests, and more than two-thirds (69.2%) of all trees and tall shrubs. wind dispersal (25.9%) and dispersal by an unknown agent (30.7%) ... | 2011 | 21645275 |
| contaminants of legacy and emerging concern in terrestrial passerines from a nature reserve in south china: residue levels and inter-species differences in the accumulation. | knowledge is limited about the bioaccumulation of persistent halogenated compounds (phcs) in terrestrial wildlife. several phcs, including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (ddt) and its metabolites (designated as ddts), polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes), decabromodiphenylethane (dbdpe) and 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (btbpe), and stable isotopes (δ(15)n and δ(13)c) were analyzed in the muscle of four terrestrial passerines, parus major, copsychus s ... | 2015 | 25841212 |
| accumulation of dechlorane plus flame retardant in terrestrial passerines from a nature reserve in south china: the influences of biological and chemical variables. | although a number of studies have addressed the bioaccumulation of dechlorane plus (dp) flame retardant in wildlife, few data are available on terrestrial organisms. this study examined the presence of dp isomers in the muscle tissue of seven terrestrial resident passerine species, i.e., the great tit (parus major), the oriental magpie-robin (copsychus saularis), the red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus), the light-vented bulbul (pycnonotus sinensis), the streak-breasted scimitar babbler (po ... | 2015 | 25666277 |
| invasion history and demographic processes associated with rapid morphological changes in the red-whiskered bulbul established on tropical islands. | the red-whiskered bulbul is a very successful invasive bird species. morphological differences have been reported among individuals inhabiting the humid and dry coasts of reunion island, in a 30-year-old population. this suggests a capacity for rapid local adaptation which could explain the general invasive success of this species. however, the origin and invasion history of this population is unknown. it is therefore not possible to establish with certainty the cause of these morphological diff ... | 2016 | 27662256 |
| the relationship between defecation and feeding in nestling birds: observational and experimental evidence. | adult birds clean the nest by consuming or transporting feces, which is thought to be important in order to lower the levels of parasites, pathogens and predation at the nest. if nestlings were to defecate when parents were absent, however, feces could accumulate in the nest. | 2015 | 26366188 |
| the breeding biology of red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus) in xishuangbanna, southwest china. | to fill the gap in breeding biology information about the red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus), in 2013, we studied the breeding biology of this species in xishuangbanna, southwest china. the breeding began from february and continued until early august. the breeding strategy of p. jocosus was more flexible and their nests were only built in cultivated landscapes, whereas, no nest building in native tropical rain forest was found. small open cup nests were built on 50 different plant specie ... | 2015 | 26228474 |
| egg laying site and oviposition pattern of two phthirapteran species parasitizing red whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus). | present study was performed to record the oviposition and egg laying pattern of two phthirapteran species infesting red whiskered bulbul. | 2012 | 23169161 |
| levels and distribution pattern of organochlorine pesticide residues in eggs of 22 terrestrial birds from tamil nadu, india. | long-term monitoring is essential to assess the patterns and distribution of the residues of organochlorine pesticides (ocps) in biota. bird eggs have several advantages than other environmental matrixes, which have been used extensively to portray the accumulation and distribution of ocps. the present study investigated the organochlorine pesticide (ocp) residues in eggs of 22 species of terrestrial birds collected from tamil nadu, india. eggs found abandoned were collected during nest monitori ... | 2020 | 32642894 |
