Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]

, 2015
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

Fine-scale population structure and asymmetrical dispersal in an obligate salt-marsh passerine, the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus Caudacutus) [PDF]

, 2012
Understanding the spatial scale of gene flow can yield valuable insight into the ecology of an organism and guide conservation strategies. Fine-scale genetic structure is uncommon in migratory passerines because of their high vagility and presumed high ...

The first complete mitogenome of Australia’s largest raptor, the wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In this paper, we report the genomic architecture of a complete mitogenome from a Wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax). The mitogenome sequence was circular, and 17,494 bp in length. Compared to other members of the family Accipitridae, the genome encoded a

Diversity, abundance, and host relationships of avian malaria and related haemosporidians in New Mexico pine forests [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Avian malaria and related haemosporidian parasites (genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon) affect bird demography, species range limits, and community structure, yet they remain unsurveyed in most bird communities and populations.

Leucocytozoon cariamae n. sp. and Haemoproteus pulcher coinfection in Cariama cristata (Aves: Cariamiformes): first mitochondrial genome analysis and morphological description of a leucocytozoid in Brazil

Parasitology, 2023
The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...

Characterization of the first mitochondrial genome of a little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea) and its phylogenetic implications

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
This study was designed to sequence the first complete mitochondrial genome from a little corella (Cacatua sanguinea). The mitogenome sequence was circular and 16,695 bp in length.

Genetic Relationship Analysis of <i>Pastor roseus</i> Based on <i>COI</i> and <i>Cytb</i> Gene Sequences. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Pastor roseus exhibits exceptionally high mitochondrial diversity (haplotype diversity Hd > 0.94). The AT‐rich nucleotide composition in its COI and Cytb genes enhances energy metabolism efficiency during flight, while high haplotype diversity contributes to population resilience against environmental fluctuations.

Feather growth rate and mass in nearctic passerines with variablemigratory behavior and molt pattern [PDF]

, 2012
Bird species vary greatly in the duration of their annual complete feather molt. However, such variation is not well documented in birds from many biogeographic areas, which restricts our understanding of the diversification of molt strategies.

The first complete mitogenome of Indian ringneck (Psittacula krameri) demonstrates close phylogenetic relationship with Eclectus parrot

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
This study was aimed to sequence the first complete mitochondrial genome from an Indian ringneck parrot (Psittacula krameri). The mitogenome sequence was circular and 16,413 bp in length. In comparison to other available mitogenome sequences belonging to
