Autoclaving Nest-Material Remains Influences the Probability of Ectoparasitism of Nestling Hoopoes (Upupa epops). [PDF]

Biology (Basel), 2020
Nest bacterial environment influences avian reproduction directly because it might include pathogenic- or antibiotic-producing bacteria or indirectly because predators or ectoparasites can use volatile compounds from nest bacterial metabolism to detect ...

Comparative Histological and Ultrastructural Studies on Lung of The Egyptian Hoopoe (Upupa epops major) and The European Hoopoe (Upupa epops epops) [PDF]

Catrina: the International Journal of Environmntal Sciences, 2013
The lung of birds is the most complex and efficient gas exchanger that has evolved in the air-breathing vertebrates. Lung tissues of the Egyptian hoopoe (upupa epops major) and the European hoopoe (upupa epops epops) which inhabit Damietta governorate in

The uropygial gland of the European hoopoe as a symbiotic organ. [PDF]

Anim Microbiome
Background Animals rely on symbiotic bacteria living within/on their tissues for multiple functions, while simultaneously needing to protect themselves via immune functions or other defenses from potentially pathogenic microorganisms that could invade ...

Volatiles of symbiotic bacterial origin explain ectoparasitism and fledging success of hoopoes. [PDF]

Anim Microbiome
Background Some parasites use olfactory cues to detect their hosts and, since bacterial symbionts are partially responsible for animal odours, they could influence host parasitism.

Disentangling the spatial and temporal causes of decline in a bird population. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2020
The difficulties in understanding the underlying reasons of a population decline lie in the typical short duration of field studies, the often too small size already reached by a declining population or the multitude of environmental factors that may ...

Reassessment of French breeding bird population sizes using citizen science and accounting for species detectability. [PDF]

PeerJ
Higher efficiency in large-scale and long-term biodiversity monitoring can be obtained through the use of Essential Biodiversity Variables, among which species population sizes provide key data for conservation programs.

First Genetically Differentiation between Upupa epops major and Upupa epops epops (Family: Upupidae)

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2022
Hoopoe has been traditionally treated as a single species within the order Coraciiformes. Presently, however, various authors have suggested separating the hoopoe into two or more species and even its order, Bucerotiformes. So, this work aimed to use the

Competition is a major limiting factor of refueling in migratory passerines during stopover

Journal of Avian Biology, 2023
For an avian migrant, refueling capacity attainable during stopovers governs the entire migration schedule and, ultimately, its fitness. Specifically, timely replenishing energy stores is critical when migration involves crossing ecological barriers ...
