Avian malaria in introduced, native and endemic New Zealand bird species in a mixed ecosystem
Avian malaria, caused by Plasmodium spp., has been reported as a cause of morbidity and mortality in New Zealand bird populations. The prevalence of Plasmodium lineages in the Waimarino Forest was evaluated in NZ robins (Petroica longipes), other passerines, blue ducks (Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos), and brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli), using nested PCR. The presence of P. sp. lineage LINN1, P. (H...
متن کاملGenetic variation, systematics and management of kiwi (Apteryx spp.)
Kiwi (Apteryx: Struthioniformes) are a family of ratite birds confined entirely to New Zealand. Since 1813, at least ten species have been described. Recent taxonomy has accepted three species: A. owenii (little spotted kiwi), A. haastii (great spotted kiwi) and A. australis (brown kiwi). Apteryx australis has three subspecies: A. a. australis (South Island); A. a. mantelli (North Island); and ...
متن کاملAncient DNA Analyses Reveal Contrasting Phylogeographic Patterns amongst Kiwi (Apteryx spp.) and a Recently Extinct Lineage of Spotted Kiwi
The little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii) is a flightless ratite formerly found throughout New Zealand but now greatly reduced in distribution. Previous phylogeographic studies of the related brown kiwi (A. mantelli, A. rowi and A. australis), with which little spotted kiwi was once sympatric, revealed extremely high levels of genetic structuring, with mitochondrial DNA haplotypes often restrict...
متن کاملEvidence for an Auditory Fovea in the New Zealand Kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)
Kiwi are rare and strictly protected birds of iconic status in New Zealand. Yet, perhaps due to their unusual, nocturnal lifestyle, surprisingly little is known about their behaviour or physiology. In the present study, we exploited known correlations between morphology and physiology in the avian inner ear and brainstem to predict the frequency range of best hearing in the North Island brown k...
متن کاملThe Profile of Abundant and Essential Fatty Acids in Depot Fat Varies More in Kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) than in Other Avian Species
Direct and dendrographic comparison of the profiles of abundant fatty acids in depot fat was unable to separate 10 avian species on a basis of their overall proportions but was able to distinguish broad dietary groups or those in a habitat with distinctive nutritional characteristics such as avian marine carnivores. In all species considered, including North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)...
