A localized epizootic of trichomoniasis in mourning doves.
Trichomonas gallinae was present in 47% (57/121) of adult, 41% (7/17) of juvenile, and 29% (2/7) of nestling mourning doves (Zenaida ,nacroura) from Lincoln, Nebraska. Throat lesions were present in 5.9% (43/724) of the mourning doves trapped for banding. Two of four pigeons (Columba livia) possessed T. gallinae, but none contained throat lesions.
متن کاملStable Isotopes Reveal That Saguaro Fruit Provides Different Resources to Two Desert Dove Species
During the Sonoran Desert summer, saguaro cacti produce an abundant fruit crop whose nutrients and water have distinctive stable isotope compositions. Carbon stable isotope analyses indicated that, at the peak of saguaro fruit production, saguaro fruit represented .90% of White-winged Dove and ;50% of Mourning Dove carbon incorporation.

Between 2003 and 2004, the average number of doves heard per route decreased significantly in the Eastern and Central Management Units. No change was detected i...
متن کاملIndividual variation in baseline and stress-induced corticosterone and prolactin levels predicts parental effort by nesting mourning doves.
Endocrine systems have an important mechanistic role in structuring life-history trade-offs. During breeding, individual variation in prolactin (PRL) and corticosterone (CORT) levels affects behavioral and physiological processes that drive trade-offs between reproduction and self-maintenance. We examined patterns in baseline (BL) and stress induced (SI; level following a standard capture-restr...
