The feather mites (Acari, Astigmata) of the Violet-capped Woodnymph, Thalurania glaucopis (Gmelin) (Aves, Trochilidae), with descriptions of three new species.
Six feather mites of the Violet-capped Woodnymph, Thalurania glaucopis are herein reported: Allodectes sejugaspis sp. n., A. thaluraniae sp. n., Trochilodectes brevipenis sp. n., Toxerodectes biscutatus Park & Atyeo (Proctophyllodidae), and two unidentified species from the families Analgidae (Protalginae, genus Protalges) and Ptyssalgidae (genus Ptyssalges). These are the first feather mites t...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships within the genus Cynanthus (Aves: Trochilidae), with emphasis on C. doubledayi
We investigated the phylogeny of the genus Cynanthus and the taxonomic status of C. doubledayi using partial sequences of the mitochondrial DNA gene ND2 and three phylogenetic approaches: maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference. Our results corroborate the monophyly of the genus and provide preliminary support for the validity of C. doubledayi as a full species (not a subs...
متن کاملNesting behavior of the swallow-tailed hummingbird, Eupetomena macroura (Trochilidae, Aves).
An August or winter nestling of Eupetomena macroura was fed only every 40-50 min for at least 24 days in the nest, with fewer feedings at midday. As in other hummingbirds, it was brooded only the first week or two, and left alone even on cool nights after 12 days, probably due to the small nest size. The female attacked birds of many non-nectarivore species near the nest, in part probably to av...
متن کاملMolecular evidence of the taxonomic status of western Mexican populations of Pliaethornis longirostris (Aves: Trochilidae).
Species diversity is largely underestimated by current taxonomy, precluding a precise understanding of evolutionary processes. Genetic data have increased our understanding of that cryptic diversity, and multilocus studies are now desirable. In this study, we used mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences to evaluate the taxonomic status of the western Mexico's populations of Phaethornis longiros...
متن کاملParasitoidism of Chalcidid wasps (Hymenoptera, Chalcididae) on Philornis sp. (Diptera, Muscidae).
Philornis Meinert larvae are known as parasites of birds, with coprophagous, semi-hematophagous or hematophagous habits. Biological data of the larvae of the fifty described species are still scarcely known. Here we describe some aspects of the parasitism of a species of Philornis on Thalurania glaucopis Gmelin (Trochilidae) and record two species of Chalcididae (Hymenoptera) parasitoids, Conur...
