—The Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera) comprises five subspecies that inhabit a variety of habitats along an elevational gradient at temperate and tropical latitudes. North American and South American subspecies differ in their migratory behavior, which may have contributed to differences in body size. We measured body size of the five recognized subspecies (A. c. cyanoptera, A. c. orinomus, A. c...
متن کاملAn avian influenza virus from waterfowl in South America contains genes from North American avian and equine lineages.
Apart from an outbreak in commercial poultry in Chile in 2002, there have been few reports of avian influenza in South America. However, surveillance in free-flying birds has been limited. An avian influenza virus was isolated from a Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera) in Bolivia in 2001 from samples collected for an avian influenza virus and avian paramyxovirus surveillance study. This isolate was...
متن کاملSpecimen Shrinkage in Cinnamon Teal
—Body size measurements from freshly collected birds and dried museum specimens were used to evaluate specimen shrinkage in Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera). Six of seven body measurements of female Cinnamon Teal differed significantly after specimen drying, whereas five of seven male body measurements differed. The largest amount of shrinkage was in bill height, bill width, and tarsus length. B...
متن کاملGenetic and phenotypic divergence between low- and high-altitude populations of two recently diverged cinnamon teal subspecies.
Spatial variation in the environment can lead to divergent selection between populations occupying different parts of a species' range, and ultimately lead to population divergence. The colonization of new areas can thus facilitate divergence in beneficial traits, yet with little differentiation at neutral genetic markers. We investigated genetic and phenotypic patterns of divergence between lo...
متن کاملH7N3 avian influenza virus found in a South American wild duck is related to the Chilean 2002 poultry outbreak, contains genes from equine and North American wild bird lineages, and is adapted to domestic turkeys.
An H7N3 avian influenza virus (AIV) was isolated from a Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera) (A/CinnamonTeal/Bolivia/4537/01) during a survey of wild waterfowl in Bolivia in 2001. The NA and M genes had the greatest identity with North American wild bird isolates, the NS was most closely related to an equine virus, and the remaining genes were most closely related to isolates from an outbreak of H7N...
