Breeding system evolution influenced the geographic expansion and diversification of the core Corvoidea (Aves: Passeriformes).
Birds vary greatly in their life-history strategies, including their breeding systems, which range from brood parasitism to a system with multiple nonbreeding helpers at the nest. By far the most common arrangement, however, is where both parents participate in raising the young. The traits associated with parental care have been suggested to affect dispersal propensity and lineage diversificat...
متن کاملA re-evaluation of phylogenetic relationships within reed warblers (Aves: Acrocephalidae) based on eight molecular loci and ISSR profiles.
Acrocephalidae is the most monomorphic family among passerines and has seen a long history of different classifications and successive revisions. In this study, we evaluated the phylogenetic relationships among 35 species of Acrocephalidae based on DNA sequences from five nuclear loci (MB, ODC, LDH, FIB5 and RAG-1), three mitochondrial genes (CYB, ND2 and COI) and genomic fingerprinting with IS...
متن کاملSeroepidemiology of selected zoonotic infections in Basra region of Iraq.
A community-based seroepidemiological study was made of 4 common zoonotic infections (brucellosis, hydatidosis, toxoplasmosis and visceral leishmaniasis) in 3 areas (rural, urban and suburban semirural) in Basra governorate, southern Iraq. The prevalence of brucellosis was higher in the suburban semirural area (29.3%) than the rural and urban areas. The prevalence of hydatidosis (19.0%-35.5%) a...
متن کاملPhylogeny and classification of the Old World Emberizini (Aves, Passeriformes).
The phylogeny of the avian genus Emberiza and the monotypic genera Latoucheornis, Melophus and Miliaria (collectively the Old World Emberizini), as well as representatives for the New World Emberizini, the circumpolar genera Calcarius and Plectrophenax and the four other generally recognized tribes in the subfamily Emberizinae was estimated based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and intro...
متن کاملSystematic relationships and biogeography of the tracheophone suboscines (Aves: Passeriformes).
Based on their highly specialized "tracheophone" syrinx, the avian families Furnariidae (ovenbirds), Dendrocolaptidae (woodcreepers), Formicariidae (ground antbirds), Thamnophilidae (typical antbirds), Rhinocryptidae (tapaculos), and Conopophagidae (gnateaters) have long been recognized to constitute a monophyletic group of suboscine passerines. However, the monophyly of these families have bee...
