Helminths Parasitizing Columbina picui (Columbiformes: Columbidae) in Brazil

The species occurs in Brazil and other countries in South America. The aim of this study was to identify the helminths that parasitize C.

Statistical Comparisons of the Osteology of Southwestern Columbidae
Journal of Archaeological Science, 1999Abstract Columbid remains are commonly recovered in Quaternary deposits, but identification to the species level has been difficult, if not impossible, in areas where several species occur in sympatry. In the U.S.A., the problem becomes complex in the Southwest, where Neotropical species from Mexico occur in addition to the typical North American ...

Sexual Dichromatism in Two Species of the Columbidae
The Condor, 1960It is obvious that many birds exhibit sexual dimorphism of color. But the causal mechanisms resulting in sexual dichromatism have been well demonstrated for only a few species such as chickens and finches. Sex hormones control the plumage color and form in the brown leghorn (Greenwood and Blyth, 1938).

Thermoregulation in Doves (Columbidae): A Novel Esophageal Heat Exchanger
Science, 1980Key elements in avian thermoregulation at high temperatures are panting and gular flutter. Although these mechanisms are important, they are not sufficient to maintain body temperature below high ambient temperatures in doves. In the Columbidae, evaporative cooling from an inflated esophagus, driven by heat from a vascular plexus, is also essential.

Interspecific variation in growth of British pigeons Columbidae
Ibis, 1988Growth patterns of nestling Collared Doves Streptopetia decaocto, Woodpigeons Columba palumbus, Feral Pigeons C. livia and Stock Doves C. oenas, in Britain were compared. Open‐nesting Collared Doves and Woodpigeons left the nest at about 60% of adult weight, hole‐nesting Stock Doves at adult weight, and partial hole‐nesting Feral Pigeons at an ...
