Nest destruction elicits indiscriminate con- versus heterospecific brood parasitism in a captive bird
Following nest destruction, the laying of physiologically committed eggs (eggs that are ovulated, yolked, and making their way through the oviduct) in the nests of other birds is considered a viable pathway for the evolution of obligate interspecific brood parasitism. While intraspecific brood parasitism in response to nest predation has been experimentally demonstrated, this pathway has yet to...
متن کاملBird Mite Infestation
Mites in the genus Dermanyssus are external parasites of birds, rodents and other mammals. The most common member of this group is the Chicken Mite that infests poultry roosts and wild bird nests. The chicken mite feeds primarily at night when the birds return the nest or roast area. They hide during the day in nearby cracks, crevices and other protected sites. These mites are known to infest h...
متن کاملSystemic destruction
Cristae in crisis ristae, the complex involutions of the mitochondrial inner membrane, vastly increase the surface area across which ATP synthase can generate a proton gradient. Now, new findings from Jean Velours (Université Victor Ségalen, Bordeaux, France) and colleagues suggest that ATP synthase may be important in forming cristae in the first place. Velours' theory is that oligomerization ...
متن کاملBird evolution
The evolution of birds is thought to have begun in the Jurassic Period, with the earliest birds derived from theropod dinosaurs. Birds are categorized as a biological class, Aves. The earliest known species of class Aves is Archaeopteryx lithographica, from the Late Jurassic period, though Archaepteryx is not commonly considered to have been a true bird. Modern phylogenies place birds in the di...

comprised populations that differ genetically in their response to the environment at spatial scales of around 600–800 km, undetected by microsatellite DNA variations. They caught cod from four populations within the Atlantic and looked at larval growth in the laboratory. Among all four populations, growth increased with food supply and temperature but the influence of changes in food and tempe...
