Migratory Birds Make
sions about site settlement on both breeding and nonbreeding grounds. Each year a fraction of surviving individuals return to sites occupied in previous years. The accumulation of capture histories, and the widespread distribution of capture–recapture software to analyze such data (Lebreton et al. 1992) have lead to a proliferation of estimates of apparent annual survival rates for migratory bi...
متن کاملMigratory birds, ticks, and Bartonella
Bartonella spp. infections are considered to be vector-borne zoonoses; ticks are suspected vectors of bartonellae. Migratory birds can disperse ticks infected with zoonotic pathogens such as Rickettsia and tick-borne encephalitis virus and possibly also Bartonella. Thus, in the present study 386 tick specimens collected in spring 2009 from migratory birds on the Mediterranean islands Capri and ...
متن کاملSerological Monitoring of Avian Influenza in Migratory Birds of Iran
Although migratory waterfowl is well known to be a major reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), there are only few recently published reports about the seroprevalence of AIV in this group of birds. To investigate the AIV antibody status in migratory waterfowl of Iran, we collected 217 serum samples from 25 different species of waterfowl during 2003 and 2004. These serum samples were teste...
متن کاملMapping Global Diversity Patterns for Migratory Birds
Nearly one in five bird species has separate breeding and overwintering distributions, and the regular migrations of these species cause a substantial seasonal redistribution of avian diversity across the world. However, despite its ecological importance, bird migration has been largely ignored in studies of global avian biodiversity, with few studies having addressed it from a macroecological ...
متن کاملLow intensity blood parasite infections do not reduce the aerobic performance of migratory birds
Blood parasites (Haemosporidia) are thought to impair the flight performance of infected animals, and therefore, infected birds are expected to differ from their non-infected counterparts in migratory capacity. Since haemosporidians invade host erythrocytes, it is commonly assumed that infected individuals will have compromised aerobic capacity, but this has not been examined in free-living bir...
