Mitochondrial introgression and replacement between yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) and pine buntings
In studies of phylogeography and taxonomy, strong emphasis is usually placed on the study of mitochondrial (mt)DNA. In the present study, we present a remarkable case in which highly phenotypically divergent species have almost no divergence in mtDNA. Yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella Linnaeus) and pine buntings (Emberiza leucocephalos S. G. Gmelin) differ noticeably in appearance and song but...
متن کاملAnthropogenically-Mediated Density Dependence in a Declining Farmland Bird
Land management intrinsically influences the distribution of animals and can consequently alter the potential for density-dependent processes to act within populations. For declining species, high densities of breeding territories are typically considered to represent productive populations. However, as density-dependent effects of food limitation or predator pressure may occur (especially when...

متن کاملHabitat Relations Spatial Heterogeneity in Habitat Selection: Nest Site Selection by Greater Prairie-Chickens
Ecological relationships of animals and their environments are known to vary spatially and temporally across scales. However, common approaches for evaluating resource selection by animals assume that the processes of habitat selection are stationary across space. The assumption that habitat selection is spatially homogeneous may lead to biased inference and ineffective management. We present t...
متن کاملLow-Intensity Agricultural Landscapes in Transylvania Support High Butterfly Diversity: Implications for Conservation
European farmland biodiversity is declining due to land use changes towards agricultural intensification or abandonment. Some Eastern European farming systems have sustained traditional forms of use, resulting in high levels of biodiversity. However, global markets and international policies now imply rapid and major changes to these systems. To effectively protect farmland biodiversity, unders...
