Implications of Plasmodium parasite infected mosquitoes on an insular avifauna: the case of Socorro Island, México.
Avian malaria (Plasmodium spp.) has been implicated in the decline of avian populations in the Hawaiian Islands and it is generally agreed that geographically isolated and immunologically naïve bird populations are particularly vulnerable to the pathogenic effects of invasive malaria parasites. In order to assess the potential disease risk of malaria to the avifauna of Socorro Island, México, w...

chia coli, non-typhoid Salmonella species, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, and Burkholderia cepacia, as well as the fungal genus Aspergillus. 3-6) Isolation of the causative pathogens is essential for appropriate antimicrobial therapy, but it is difficult to identify the causative pathogen in most clinical CGD cases. 6) NADPH oxidase is a multi-component complex composed of a plasma...
متن کاملTurnover and Ecological Release in the Avifauna of Mona Island, Puerto Rico
Mor)• biogeographic theory states that the number of species in a class or other large taxonomic unit that inhabits an island is maintained within narrow bounds by a dynamic steady state between colonization and extinction s (MacArthur and Wilson 1967). Although a recent experimental test of the theory upheld most of its expectations (Simberloff and Wilson 1969), there remains a paucity of data...
متن کاملLessons from the Tōhoku tsunami: A model for island avifauna conservation prioritization
Earthquake-generated tsunamis threaten coastal areas and low-lying islands with sudden flooding. Although human hazards and infrastructure damage have been well documented for tsunamis in recent decades, the effects on wildlife communities rarely have been quantified. We describe a tsunami that hit the world's largest remaining tropical seabird rookery and estimate the effects of sudden floodin...
متن کاملBiological Invasions on Oceanic Islands : Implications for Island Ecosystems and Avifauna
Biological invasions present a global threat to biodiversity. but oceanic islands are the systems hardest hit by invasions. Islands are generally depauperate in species richness, trophic complexity, and functional diversity relative to comparable mainland ecosystems. This situation results in low biotic resistance to invasion and many empty niches for invaders to exploit. It also results in isl...
