| morphological and molecular characterization of isospora manorinae n. sp. in a yellow-throated miner (manorina flavigula wayensis) (gould, 1840). | a new isospora (apicomplexa:eimeriidae) species is described from a single yellow-throated miner bird (manorina flavigula) (subspecies m. f. wayensis) in western australia. sporulated oocysts (n = 32) of this isolate are spherical to subspherical, 22.8 (20.3-23.8) × 18.3 (17.7-18.7) μm, with a shape index (length/width) of 1.25 (1.2-1.3); and a smooth and bilayered oocyst wall, 1.3 μm thick (outer layer 0.9 μm, inner 0.4 μm). a polar granule is present, but the micropyle and oocyst residuum are ... | 2016 | 26821297 |
| genetic, morphological, and acoustic evidence reveals lack of diversification in the colonization process in an island bird. | songbirds with recently (i.e., early holocene) founded populations are suitable models for studying incipient differentiation in oceanic islands. on such systems each colonization event represents a different evolutionary episode that can be studied by addressing sets of diverging phenotypic and genetic traits. we investigate the process of early differentiation in the spectacled warbler (sylvia conspicillata) in 14 populations separated by sea barriers from three atlantic archipelagos and from ... | 2014 | 24749863 |
| isospora lopesi n. sp. (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from the eastern white-throated spadebill platyrinchus mystaceus vieillot (passeriformes: tyranni: tyrannidae) in south america. | a species of isospora schneider, 1881 (protozoa: apicomplexa: eimeriidae) considered as new to science is described and characterised molecularly from the eastern white-throated spadebill platyrinchus mystaceus vieillot in the parque nacional do itatiaia, southeastern brazil. isospora lopesi n. sp. has oöcysts that are subspheroidal to ovoidal, 18-24 × 18-22 (20.6 × 19.7) µm, with smooth, bilayered wall, c.1.5 μm thick. micropyle and oöcyst residuum are absent, but one polar granule is present. ... | 2018 | 29721660 |
| [composition and characteristics of understory bird communities in monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest of mengyang, xishuangbanna in the dry season]. | understory birds in monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest of mengyang, xishuangbanna, yunnan were sampled using mist nets from october 2008 to march 2009. a total of 1423 individuals of 90 species belonging to 28 families and 7 orders were captured, among which there are 8 dominant bird species, i.e., sliver-breasted broadbill (serilophus lunatus), brown-cheeked fulvatta (alcippe poioicephala), white-throated bulbul (alophoixus pallidus), golden-spectacled warbler (seicercus burkii), white-tailed ... | 2010 | 20672421 |
| four new feather mite species of the genus anhemialges gaud, 1958 (astigmata: analgidae) from china. | four new species of the feather mite genus anhemialges (astigmata: analgidae) are described from passeriform birds in china: a. lioparus sp. nov. from the golden-breasted fulvetta lioparus chrysotis (passeriformes, paradoxornithidae); a. aegithalos sp. nov. from the black-throated tit aegithalos concinnus (passeriformes, aegithalidae); a. seicercus sp. nov. from the golden-spectacled warbler seicercus burkii (passeriformes, phylloscopidae); and a. zosterops sp. nov. from the oriental white-eye z ... | 2018 | 30651445 |
