Splendid isolation: historical ecology of the South American passerine fauna
A few years ago, I had my first opportunity to visit the Amazonian Basin in eastern Ecuador. Several days of mist-netting and birding within an intact forest and in surrounding disturbed habitats turned out to be a pivotal experience, finally crystallizing in my mind a pattern that every Neotropical ornithologist knows but whose significance has largely escaped us. I am referring to the fact th...
متن کاملTyphoid Fever in South Africa in an Endemic HIV Setting
BACKGROUND Typhoid fever remains an important disease in Africa, associated with outbreaks and the emerging multidrug resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (Salmonella Typhi) haplotype, H58. This study describes the incidence of, and factors associated with mortality due to, typhoid fever in South Africa, where HIV prevalence is high. METHODS AND FINDINGS Nationwide active laboratory-b...
متن کاملTrophic niche width increases with bill-size variation in a generalist passerine: a test of niche variation hypothesis.
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) predicts that populations with wider niches are phenotypically more variable than populations with narrower niches, which is frequently used to explain diversifying processes such as ecological release. However, not all empirical evidence supports the NVH. Furthermore, a relationship between population phenotypic variation and niche width can be caused by se...
متن کاملCharacterization of 31 microsatellite markers for Sinocalycanthus chinensis (Calycanthaceae), an endemic endangered species1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Thirty-one microsatellite markers were developed for Sinocalycanthus chinensis (Calycanthaceae), an endemic endangered species in China. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one polymorphic and 10 monomorphic microsatellite markers of S. chinensis were developed using methods of biotin-streptavidin capture and capillary electrophoresis. The number of alleles per locus was one to 20...
متن کاملNiche divergence accelerates evolution in Asian endemic Procapra gazelles
Ecological niche divergence and adaptation to new environments are thought to play important roles in driving speciation. Whether recently evolved species show evidence for niche divergence or conservation is vital towards understanding the role of ecology in the process of speciation. The genus Procapra is an ancient, monophyletic lineage endemic to Asia that contains three extant species (P. ...
