| a paramyxovirus of serotype 3 isolated from african and australian finches. | two virus isolates were obtained from exotic finches (ortygospiza atricollis and poephila cincta) suffering from apathy, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, and dysphagia. the isolates were identified as paramyxoviruses based on their multiplication characteristics in embryonating chicken eggs, chicken embryo fibroblasts, and chicken embryo kidney cell cultures, on morphology upon electron microscopy, and on other biological properties. both isolates were serologically related to the reference strain of t ... | 1987 | 3442546 |
| speciational history of australian grass finches (poephila) inferred from thirty gene trees. | multilocus genealogical approaches are still uncommon in phylogeography and historical demography, fields which have been dominated by microsatellite markers and mitochondrial dna, particularly for vertebrates. using 30 newly developed anonymous nuclear loci, we estimated population divergence times and ancestral population sizes of three closely related species of australian grass finches (poephila) distributed across two barriers in northern australia. we verified that substitution rates were ... | 2005 | 16261740 |

| condition index monitoring supports conservation priorities for the protection of threatened grass-finch populations. | conservation agencies are often faced with the difficult task of prioritizing what recovery actions receive support. with the number of species under threat of decline growing globally, research that informs conservation priorities is greatly needed. the relative vulnerability of cryptic or nomadic species is often uncertain, because populations are difficult to monitor and local populations often seem stable in the short term. this uncertainty can lead to inaction when populations are in need o ... | 2015 | 27293710 |
| movement patterns, home range size and habitat selection of an endangered resource tracking species, the black-throated finch (poephila cincta cincta). | understanding movement patterns and home range of species is paramount in ecology; it is particularly important for threatened taxa as it can provide valuable information for conservation management. to address this knowledge gap for a range-restricted endangered bird, we estimated home range size, daily movement patterns and habitat use of a granivorous subspecies in northeast australia, the black-throated finch (poephila cincta cincta; btf) using radio-tracking and re-sighting of colour banded ... | 2016 | 27902764 |
| addressing potential cumulative impacts of development on threatened species: the case of the endangered black-throated finch. | where threatened biodiversity is adversely affected by development, policies often state that "no net loss" should be the goal and biodiversity offsetting is one mechanism available to achieve this. however, developments are often approved on an ad hoc basis and cumulative impacts are not sufficiently examined. we demonstrate the potential for serious threat to an endangered subspecies when multiple developments are planned. we modelled the distribution of the black-throated finch (poephila cinc ... | 2016 | 26934622 |
