Seasonal variation in the abundance and density of columbids (Birds: Columbidae) in a region with high hunting pressure

Ciência e Natura
Assessing the abundance and densities of highly hunted bird species, such as those from the Columbidae family (pigeons and doves), is essential to developing effective conservation strategies.

COI barcodes and phylogeny of doves (Columbidae family)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene has been recognized as an authentic tool for species identification. Besides its potential barcoding capacity, COI sequences have also been used for inferring the phylogeny. Phylogenetic relationships among genera of Columbidae (pigeons and doves family) have not been fully resolved because of scarce sampling of ...

Complete mitogenome of Treron sphenurus (Aves, Columbiformes): the first representative from the genus Treron, genomic comparisons and phylogenetic analysis of Columbidae

Animal Biotechnology, 2021
The wedge-tailed green pigeon (Treron sphenurus) has a protective value in the evolution of the family Columbidae. In this study, the complete mitogenome of T.

The syrinx in family Columbidae

Journal of Zoology, 1972
The pigeon syrinx is markedly different to that organ in most other birds, and although basically a simple structure, shows a number of unique modifications, the significance of which cannot readily be fully assessed. The tracheal rings are dorsally cartilaginous, but are thickened and ossified over their ventral surfaces; the sternotrachealis muscles ...

Nomenclatural addendum to ‘The systematics and nomenclature of the Dodo and the Solitaire (Aves: Columbidae), and an overview of columbid family-group nomina’

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society
Columbidae (the pigeon and dove family) are a speciose clade of non-passerine birds with a near global distribution. Recently, Young et al. (2024) undertook an evaluation of the systematics and nomenclature of the Dodo and its sister species the ...

Biological Aspects of the Tongue and Oropharyngeal Cavity of the Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto, Columbiformes, Columbidae): Anatomical, Histochemical, and Ultrastructure Study

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2021
We characterized the morphological and anatomical adaptations of the lingual microstructures of the Eurasian collared dove and discussed their implications for its dietary niche. We analyzed tongues of nine S.

Phylogeny and biogeography of the fruit doves (Aves: Columbidae)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2014
We reconstruct the phylogeny of fruit doves (genus Ptilinopus) and allies with a dense sampling that includes almost all species, based on mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data. We evaluate the most likely biogeographic scenario for the evolution of this group that colonized many islands of the Pacific Ocean.

The haemoproteid parasites of the pigeons and doves (family Columbidae)

Journal of Natural History, 1990
The seven species of haemoproteid parasites of the pigeons and doves (Columbidae) have been reviewed and re-described. Only two species, Haemoproteus columbae Kruse and H. sacharovi Novy and MacNeal are morphologically distinguishable in Giemsa-stained smears. Haemoproteus maccallumi Novy and MacNeal, H. melopeliae Laveran and Petit, H. palumbis Baker,

Immuno-genetic studies of species relationships in columbidae [PDF]

Journal of Genetics, 1938
The comparisons of the species-specific and homologous characters in the erythrocytes of four species of pigeons and doves, as presented in this paper, have as their foundation previously reported cellular characters peculiar toColumba guinea (not inC. livia) which have been isolated as a result of back-crosses tolivia.

A novel sex-specific DNA marker in Columbidae birds

Theriogenology, 2007
That most Columbidae birds have no conspicuous sexual dimorphism often makes it difficult to identify their sex on the basis of external morphology. In the present study, we report a novel sex-specific DNA marker in Columbidae birds. DNA was extracted from one member of this bird group, Streptopelia orientalis (S. orientalis, oriental turtle dove), and
