| recent range-wide demographic expansion in a taiwan endemic montane bird, steere's liocichla (liocichla steerii). | the subtropical island of taiwan is an area of high endemism and a complex topographic environment. phylogeographic studies indicate that vicariance caused by taiwan's mountains has subdivided many taxa into genetic phylogroups. we used mitochondrial dna sequences and nuclear microsatellites to test whether the evolutionary history of an endemic montane bird, steere's liocichla (liocichla steerii), fit the general vicariant paradigm for a montane organism. | 2010 | 20219124 |
| twelve new species of guimaraesiella (phthiraptera: ischnocera: philopteridae) from "babblers" (passeriformes: leiothrichidae, pellorneidae, timaliidae) with a description of a new subgenus and a key to its species. | the chewing louse subgenus cicchinella new subgenus is erected and described for species of guimaraesiella eichler, 1949, parasitizing old world babblers (leiothrichidae, pellorneidae, timaliidae). the subgenus is divided into three species groups based on chaetotaxy, head and genitalia of both sexes. two species are redescribed: guimaraesiella (cicchinella) sehri (ansari, 1955) from trochalopteron lineatum lineatum (vigors, 1831) and t. lineatum setafer (hodgson, 1836), and guimaraesiella (cicc ... | 2019 | 30647282 |
