| effects of logging and recovery process on avian richness and diversity in hill dipterocarp tropical rainforest-malaysia. | the effects of logging and recovery process on avian richness and diversity was compared in recently logged and thirty year post-harvested hill dipterocarp tropical rainforest, using mist-netting method. atotal of 803 bird individuals representing 86 bird species and 29 families (i.e., 37.90% from recently logged forest and 62.10% from thirty year post-harvested forest) were captured from october 2010 to september, 2012. twenty one bird species were commonly captured from both types of forests, ... | 2015 | 26591891 |
| a new species of pterodectine feather mites (acarina, analgoidea, proctophyllodidae) from the little spiderhunter arachnothera longirostra (passeriformes, nectariniidae) in meghalaya, india. | the article describes a new species of the feather mite subfamily pterodectinae from the little spiderhunter arachnothera longirostra temminck, 1826 (passeriformes, nectariniidae) in india. pedanodectes angustilobus sp. n. differs from all known pedanodectes species by having opisthosomal lobes short, at base wider than long, roughly rounded apically in males, and strongly elongated and narrowed lobar region with wide terminal appendages in females. a key to species of the genus pedanodectes is ... | 2014 | 25147445 |
| comparative study of understorey birds diversity inhabiting lowland rainforest virgin jungle reserve and regenerated forest. | a comparative study of understorey birds inhabiting different habitats, that is, virgin jungle reserve (vjr) and regenerated forest (rf), was conducted in ulu gombak forest reserve and selangor and triang forest reserve, negeri sembilan, peninsular malaysia. the objective of this study was to assess the diversity of understorey birds in both habitats and the effects of forest regeneration on the understorey bird community. the mist-netting method was used to capture understorey birds inhabiting ... | 2013 | 24453888 |
| multilocus analysis of the evolutionary dynamics of rainforest bird populations in southeast asia. | sundaland has a dynamic geographic history because its landmasses were periodically interconnected when sea levels fell during glacial periods. superimposed on this geographic dynamism were environmental changes related to climatic oscillations. to investigate how tropical taxa responded to such changes, we studied the divergence and demographic history of two co-distributed rainforest passerine species, arachnothera longirostra and malacocincla malaccensis. we sampled birds primarily from borne ... | 2011 | 21777318 |
| opening the door to greater phylogeographic inference in southeast asia: comparative genomic study of five codistributed rainforest bird species using target capture and historical dna. | indochina and sundaland are biologically diverse, interconnected regions of southeast asia with complex geographic histories. few studies have examined phylogeography of bird species that span the two regions because of inadequate population sampling. to determine how geographic barriers/events and disparate dispersal potential have influenced the population structure, gene flow, and demographics of species that occupy the entire area, we studied five largely codistributed rainforest bird specie ... | 2020 | 32273983 |
| knemidokoptiasis in a wild bird, the little spiderhunter ( arachnothera longirostra cinereicollis), in sumatra, indonesia. | we report knemidokoptiasis in a wild male little spiderhunter ( arachnothera longirostra cinereicollis; family nectariniidae; order passeriformes) from jambi, sumatra, indonesia, in september 2017. microscopic examination of a scraping from its leg lesion revealed the presence of knemidocoptes jamaicensis as the cause of the condition. | 2019 | 30226802 |
