Taxonomic status of the brown teal (Anas chlorotis) in Fiordland
Mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequence data were used to examine the taxonomic status of the endemic brown, Auckland Island, and Campbell Island teal. Based on phylogenetic reconstructions using the 12S rRNA data we have found that the Great Barrier Island brown teal, and the Auckland and Campbell Island teals form a discrete clade, to the exclusion of the Fiordland brown teal. All of the Fiordland br...
متن کاملA comparison of the helminth communities in Anas undulata, Anas erythrorhyncha, Anas capensis and Anas smithii at Barberspan, South Africa.
Examination of the helminth communities in 25 yellow-billed ducks (Anas undulata), 21 red-billed ducks (Anas erythrorhyncha), ten Cape teal (Anas capensis) and seven Cape shovellers (Anas smithii) that had overwintered at Barberspan, revealed differences in community structure. Infracommunities in yellow-billed and red-billed ducks were characterized by low diversity and high eveness, and gener...

متن کاملGene Flow and Hybridization between Numerically Imbalanced Populations of Two Duck Species on the Subantarctic Island of South Georgia
Hybridization is common between species of animals, particularly in waterfowl (Anatidae). One factor shown to promote hybridization is restricted mate choice, which can occur when 2 species occur in sympatry but one is rare. According to the Hubbs principle, or "desperation hypothesis," the rarer species is more likely to mate with heterospecifics. We report the second of 2 independent examples...
متن کاملImpacts of introduced mammalian predators on indigenous birds of freshwater wetlands in New Zealand
The impacts of introduced mammalian predators on the viability of bird populations in forest, river and coastal habitats in New Zealand are well known. However, a common understanding of their impacts in freshwater wetlands is lacking. We review evidence for impacts of introduced mammalian predators on freshwater birds, particularly specialist species restricted to wetlands, and use this inform...
