Wind selectivity and partial compensation for wind drift among nocturnally migrating passerines
A migrating bird's response to wind can impact its timing, energy expenditure, and path taken. The extent to which nocturnal migrants select departure nights based on wind (wind selectivity) and compensate for wind drift remains unclear. In this paper, we determine the effect of wind selectivity and partial drift compensation on the probability of successfully arriving at a destination area and...
متن کاملLichen Endozoochory by Snails
Endozoochory plays a prominent role for the dispersal of seed plants. However, for most other plant taxa it is not known whether this mode of dispersal occurs at all. Among those other taxa, lichens as symbiotic associations of algae and fungi are peculiar as their successful dispersal requires movement of propagules that leaves the symbiosis functional. However, the potential for endozoochorou...
متن کاملWhen risk outweighs benefit
In October 2005, a team of US scientists, headed by Jeffery Taubenberger from the US Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (Rockville, MD, USA), published the full sequence of the highly virulent strain of influenza virus that caused the Spanish influenza pandemic in the winter of 1918– 1919 and killed up to 50 million people worldwide (Taubenberger et al, 2005). Further work based on the sequenc...
متن کاملPatterns of fuel use and storage in Migrating Passerines in relation to fruit resources at autuMn stoPover sites
Resumen.—La tasa de acumulación de recursos energéticos por parte de las aves que se encuentran en migración puede indicar la calidad del hábitat en los sitios de paradas migratorias. Sin embargo, se sabe poco sobre acerca de cómo los hábitos de alimentación y la disponibilidad de alimentos afectan el metabolismo de las grasas y proteínas de aves silvestres en los sitios de parada. Comparamos i...
متن کاملPeduncles elicit large-mammal endozoochory in a dry-fruited plant.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plants have evolved a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms to overcome lack of mobility. Many species embed seeds in fleshy pulp to elicit endozoochory, i.e. disseminating seed through the animal gut. In contrast to well-studied fleshy fruited plants, dry-fruited plants may exploit this dispersal mutualism by producing fleshy appendages as a nutritional reward to entice anim...
