| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 february 2012 - 31 march 2012. | this article documents the addition of 171 microsatellite marker loci and 27 pairs of single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) sequencing primers to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: bombus pauloensis, cephalorhynchus heavisidii, cercospora sojina, harpyhaliaetus coronatus, hordeum vulgare, lachnolaimus maximus, oceanodroma monteiroi, puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, rhea americana, salmo salar, salmo trutta, schistocephalus solidus, sousa p ... | 2012 | 22642264 |
| west nile and st. louis encephalitis viruses antibodies surveillance in captive and free-ranging birds of prey from argentina. | we evaluated the prevalence of wnv and slev neutralizing antibodies in captive and free-ranging raptors from argentina by plaque-reduction neutralization test. eighty plasma samples from 12 species were analyzed. only one captive adult crowned eagle (harpyhaliaetus coronatus) was wnv seropositive (prevalence: 1.25%; antibody titer of 1:80). two captive crowned eagles were slev seropositive (prevalence: 2.50%; antibody titers: 1:80 and 1:40).these findings expand the geographic distribution of wn ... | 2014 | 25106849 |
| polyphyly of the hawk genera leucopternis and buteogallus (aves, accipitridae): multiple habitat shifts during the neotropical buteonine diversification. | the family accipitridae (hawks, eagles and old world vultures) represents a large radiation of predatory birds with an almost global distribution, although most species of this family occur in the neotropics. despite great morphological and ecological diversity, the evolutionary relationships in the family have been poorly explored at all taxonomic levels. using sequences from four mitochondrial genes (12s, atp8, atp6, and nd6), we reconstructed the phylogeny of the neotropical forest hawk genus ... | 2006 | 16464261 |
| movements of a juvenile crowned eagle (harpyhaliaetus coronatus) tracked by satellite telemetry in central argentina. | a juvenile crowned eagle was tagged at its nest with a satellite transmitter. the crowned eagle (harpyhaliaetus coronatus) is one of the most unknown raptor species from the american continent. their current distribution ranges from central brazil to central argentina, with a total population of 350-1500 individuals across this large area, being thus largely fragmented. | 2014 | 25984495 |
