A molecular phylogeny of the nightjars (Aves: Caprimulgidae) suggests extensive conservation of primitive morphological traits across multiple lineages.
We report a molecular re-assessment of the classification of the nightjars which draws conclusions that are strongly at odds with the traditional, morphology-based classifications. We used maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods to compare the cytochrome b gene for 14 species from seven of the 15 genera of the Caprimulgidae and partial cytochrome b sequence data was available for a further seve...

متن کاملS24-2 Molt of the African penguin, Spheniscus demersus, in relation to its breeding season and food availability
In South Africa, most adult African penguins molt between September and January; at Namibia’s Mercury Island, most molt in April and May. Throughout their range most immature birds molt between November and January. The season of breeding varies between colonies but at each takes place when food is likely to be most abundant nearby. The main molt of adults occurs when food is least available ne...
