Studies on nest construction and nest microclimate of the Baya weaver, Ploceus philippinus (Linn.).
The nest construction pattern at different stages of nest and variations in the nest microclimate, i.e., temperature and light intensity were assessed in different nests of Baya weaver (Ploceus philippinus) between November 2002 and March 2003 in Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur District of Tamil Nadu, India. The Baya weaver constructed nests in palm (Borassus flabellifer), coconut (Cocos nucifera) a...
متن کاملEffect of complete and skeleton photoperiods in baya weaver, Ploceus philippinus.
A study was performed to investigate the effects of complete and skeleton photoperiods on gonadal stimulation in baya weaver, Ploceus philippinus. In August 2003, five groups of acclimatized birds (n = 7 each) were exposed to 6L: 13D: 1L: 4D, 6L: 6D: 1L: 11D, 11L: 13D and 13L: 11D. Birds were refractory and their exposure to 6L:13D:1L:4D, 6L:6D:1L:11D, 11L:13D and 13L:11D did not evoke any resp...
متن کاملComponents and development of the centriolar complex during and beyond spermiogenesis in a passeridan bird, the Masked weaver (Ploceus velatus).
The fate of the proximal centriole in passeridan birds is an area of controversy and relative lack of knowledge in avian spermatogenesis and spermatology. This study examines, for the first time, spatiotemporal changes in the centriolar complex in various phases of spermiogenesis in a passerine bird, the Masked weaver (Ploceus velatus). It also describes the configuration of the centriolar comp...
متن کاملIndividuality in nest building: do southern masked weaver (Ploceus velatus) males vary in their nest-building behaviour?
We currently have little understanding of how birds know what nest to build and what little we do know has been gained largely from investigations of the completed structures (morphology of finished nests) or of material selection. Here we looked at the behaviours performed by male Southern Masked weaverbirds when building their nests. During the two earliest phases of construction individual m...
متن کاملThe cytoskeletal proteins in the contractile tissues of the testis and its excurrent ducts of the passerine bird, Masked Weaver (Ploceus velatus).
The cellular composition of the testicular capsule, seminiferous peritubular tissue, the epithelia as well as periductal muscle cell layers of the excurrent ducts was studied, in sexually mature and active Masked Weaver (Ploceus velatus) birds of the passerine family, Ploceidae. Ultrastructure of the contractile cells in the testicular capsule, peritubular and periductal tissues showed that the...
