High gene flow on a continental scale in the polyandrous Kentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus.
Gene flow promotes genetic homogeneity of species in time and space. Gene flow can be modulated by sex-biased dispersal that links population genetics to mating systems. We investigated the phylogeography of the widely distributed Kentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus. This small shorebird has a large breeding range spanning from Western Europe to Japan and exhibits an unusually flexible matin...
متن کاملKentish versus snowy Plover: PhenotyPic and Genetic analyses of Charadrius alexandrinus reveal diverGence of eurasian and american subsPecies
Resumen.—Muchas especies de playeros tienen distribuciones amplias que incluyen continentes diferentes. Debido a que los playeros son excelentes voladores y tienen la capacidad de migrar largas distancias, muchas veces no está claro si existen barreras reproductivas entre poblaciones o subespecies de diferentes continentes. Charadrius alexandrinus es una especie cosmopolita. Hace mucho tiempo s...
متن کاملMicroanatomy and Histochemistry of the Salt Glands of the Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrines (Aves, Charadriidae)
Problem statement: Histological and histochemical investigations on the salt glands of birds are very limited. The present study was performed to characterize the microanatomy and histochemistry of the salt glands of the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrines). Approach: Salt glands of the bird under study were fixed, dehydrated, cleared, impregnated and blocked out by paraffin wax. Paraffin s...
متن کاملExperimental assessment of mating opportunities in three shorebird species
Experimental assessment of mating opportunities in three shorebird species Mating opportunities may differ between closely related species, although the evidence for such variation is scant. Here we compare remating opportunities and courtship behaviour between three shorebird species: the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), the Kittlitz's plover (C. pecuarius) and the white-fronted plove...
متن کاملViability of piping plover Charadrius melodus metapopulations
The metapopulation viability analysis package, vortex, was used to examine viability and recovery objectives for piping plovers Charadrius melodus, an endangered shorebird that breeds in three distinct regions of North America. Baseline models indicate that while Atlantic Coast populations, under current management practices, are at little risk of near-term extinction, Great Plains and Great La...
