چکیده
The Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar, Galliformes) is one of the most important game birds in its native range, spanning from Balkans to eastern Asia, and regions Europe, North America New Zealand where it was introduced. Previous studies found two main genetic lineages species forming an a western clade. Partridges are raised farms released supplement natural populations for shooting USA, Canada, Greece, Turkey. To explore intraspecific structure, phylogeography, possible admixture events A. chukar Turkey, we genotyped individuals fourteen wild five captive at mitochondrial ten microsatellite DNA loci in. Wild farmed samples were analyzed together investigate influences hybridizations. We that chukars, which mainly (85%) cluster into clade, ones genetically distinct. latter could be separated six management units (MUs), with partridges Gökçeada Island Aegean Sea divergent population. Intraspecific hybridization detected between populations. This phenomenon causes rampant introgression homogenization. phylogeographic analysis revealed among populations; nevertheless, this did not impair pointing Anatolia as likely having “refugia-within-refugia” structure. recommend structure MUs taken account when developing policy hunting, production, release preserve integrity species.

This study was conducted to assess the effect of the coccidiostat halofuginone (Stenorol) on growth, feed consumption, and survival of Chukar partridge. Halofuginone was fed to three replicates (14 chicks per replicate) of chukar chicks from 2 to 7 d of age at levels of 0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 12 ppm. Mortality from 2 to 7 d was 0, 0, 0, 11, and 21 birds, respectively, by treatment. Seven-day body...
متن کاملGlobal warming, Bergmann's rule and body mass ± are they related? The chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) case
Using museum specimens collected in Israel during the second half of the 20th century, no support was found for the hypothesis that body mass and tarsus length of chukar partridges Alectoris chukar has changed as a result of global warming. Body mass showed ̄uctuations during the year, reaching a maximum in late winter and spring and a minimum in summer. Bergmann's rule predicts that in warmblo...
متن کاملHistomorphogenesis of the Chukar Partridge (Alectoris Chukar) Knee Joint
Introduction: There are differences in the pattern of the knee joint formation of the studied species. According to the small number of studies which focused chronologically on the avian knee histomorphogenetic events, its “morphogenetic pattern” is hard to be proposed. The present work was designed to identify the sequential events of the knee formation in the partridge embryo. Regarding to di...
