trypanosomes of some sub-saharan birds.	linear measurements and derived indices from striated trypanosomes in nine species of sub-saharan birds representing seven families of the passeriformes, were compared. the dimensions of the striated trypomastigotes from the carduelinae, estrildidae, nectarinidae, passeridae, pycnonotidae, turdinae and zosteropidae were similar to each other as well as to those of the striated trypanosomes from the boreal owl (strigidae). all these trypanosomes were considered to be trypanosoma avium danilewsky, ...	1994	7596580
behavioral relevance of species-specific vasotocin anatomy in gregarious finches.	despite substantial species differences in the vasotocin/vasopressin (vt/vp) circuitry of the medial bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (bstm) and lateral septum (ls; a primary projection target of bstm vt/vp cells), functional consequences of this variation are poorly known. previous experiments in the highly gregarious zebra finch (estrildidae: taeniopygia guttata) demonstrate that bstm vt neurons promote gregariousness in a male-specific manner and reduce anxiety in both sexes. however, in c ...	2013	24381536
