EVOLUTION OF CELLULAR ANTIGENS IN COLUMBIDAE [PDF]
Evolution, 1960 Experiments performed in this laboratory have revealed the complex serological interrelationships of the cellular antigens of a number of species of pigeons and doves (Irwin, 1951; 1953). The studies have shown that red blood cells from the respective species share antigens in common and that they also possess antigens to the exclusion of those found ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April
