A suite of microsatellite markers for genetic management of captive cracids (Aves, Galliformes).
Cracids are medium to large frugivorous birds that are endemic to the Neotropics. Because of deforestation and overhunting, many species are threatened. The conservation of several species has relied on captive breeding and reintroduction in the wild, but captive populations may be inbred. Microsatellite tools can permit the construction of genetic pedigrees to reduce inbreeding, but only a few...
متن کاملRed-billed oxpeckers: vampires or tickbirds?
Many recent studies have shown that classic examples of mutualism are either far more complicated than originally believed, or that they are not mutualisms at all. Red-billed oxpeckers (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) are just such an example of an ‘‘adaptive story.’’ These small birds feed almost exclusively on what they can glean from the skin of large African mammals. The relationship is obligate ...
متن کاملNotes on the Red-billed Leiothrix in Hawaii
THE NAME JAPANESE HIL.L ROBIN often used in Hawaii for Leiothrix lutea (Scopoli) is an unfortunate misnomer, as is Pekin Nightingale, because the bird does not occur in the wild in Japan nor does it occur as far north as Shanghai, much less Pekin or Peipmg. Henshaw (1911: 63) recommended the introduction of this species into Hawaii as early as 1911 and noted that it lives to some extent on inse...
متن کاملThe restoration of the Red-billed Chough in Cornwall
The Red-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax has a restricted range in Britain and has been in long-term decline since at least the early 1800s. Southwest England was a former stronghold and Cornwall was the last county in England from which it was lost as a breeding species, the last successful breeding attempt being in 1947.The reduction of suitable foraging habitat owing to changes in the m...
متن کاملFredensborg et al.—Gut helminths from red-billed gulls
Eight species of gastrointestinal helminths were obtained from the red-billed gull (Larus novaehollandiae scopulinus Forster, 1844) from Otago Peninsula, of which six were new host records. One of these, Maritrema novaezelandensis (Trematoda), was a species new to science which is being described elsewhere; the other five were Curtuteria australis (Trematoda), Echinoparyphium recurvatum (Tremat...
