Time scale evolution of avipoxviruses [PDF]
, 1952 Avipoxviruses are divided into three clades: canarypox-like viruses, fowlpox-like viruses, and psittacinepox-like viruses. Several molecular clock and demographic models available in the BEAST package were compared on three avipoxvirus genes (P4b ...

Impacts of red imported fire ants Solenopsis invicta on survivorship of hatchlings of the broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Oviparous vertebrate species are often vulnerable to predation by red imported fire ants (RIFAs, Solenopsis invicta) in natural environments. The necrotic action of the venom can cause localized infections, with subsequent effects on survival

Two centuries of human‐mediated gene flow in northern bobwhites
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 The northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) population decline has prompted several studies over the past decade investigating bobwhite population genetics and overall connectivity. The zeitgeist of current quail conservation is that

An evaluation of population indices for northern bobwhite
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019 Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations are monitored using 2 general approaches—population indices and abundance estimators. Due to their convenient sampling designs, indices are commonly used by land managers and researchers to predict or ...

Regional evolutionary distinctiveness and endangerment as a means of prioritizing protection of endangered species [PDF]
, 2015 Conservation is costly, and choices must be made about where to best allocate limited resources. I propose a regional evolutionary diversity and endangerment (RED-E) approach to prioritization of endangered species.

Exotic grass alters micro‐climate and mobility for northern bobwhite chicks
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Conservation practices are designed to provide habitat conditions that meet the environmental requirements for species of conservation concern. However, exotic invasive grass species may reduce the efficacy of these practices because they disrupt ...

Differences in foraging behavior in wild and pen‐raised northern bobwhites
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Increased mortality rates of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) raised in captivity and stocked into the wild compared with wild bobwhites may be due to differences in antipredatory behaviors.

Response of northern bobwhites fed single doses of gossypol
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Cottonseed products have been used as a feed supplement for ruminant livestock and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Gossypol, a secondary plant metabolite found in cotton (Gossypium spp.), is known to be toxic to a variety of animals ...
