Phylogeny and classification of passerine birds, passeriformes

Biology Bulletin Reviews, 2014
The paper presents an overview of the current state of studying the phylogeny and evolution of the largest taxonomic group of birds—the order Passeriformes. Phylogenetic relationships and problems of the classification of passerines according to the data of morphological and molecular studies are discussed. All the results on this issue obtained during

The Menacanthus (Mallophaga: Menoponidae) of the Passeriformes (Aves)1

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1977
Twenty-eight species of Menacanthus are recognized, discussed, and keyed. These include 7 new species with the following type-hosts: M. sturnellae from Sturnella magna, M. quiscali from Quiscalus quiscula, M. tyranni from Tyrannus verticalis, M. obsoleti from Salpincles obsoletus, M. aedonis from Troglodytes aedon, M. dendroicae from Dendroica discolor

Affinities of Carpospiza brachydactyla (Passeriformes; Passeridae)

Journal of Ornithology, 2004
The Passeridae are characterized by possessing a neomorphic preglossale bone in the tongue and a uniquely enlarged M. hypoglossus anterior forming part of the “seed-cup” used to orient and hold seeds in position when they are being husked. The pale rock finch (Carpospiza brachydactyla), which had been suggested in recent years to be allied to the ...

A genus-level classification of the family Thraupidae (Class Aves: Order Passeriformes).

Zootaxa, 2016
The tanagers (Thraupidae) are a major component of the Neotropical avifauna, and vary in plumage colors, behaviors, morphologies, and ecologies. Globally, they represent nearly 4% of all avian species and are the largest family of songbirds.

Occurrence of Enterobacteriaceae in Feces of Granivorous Passeriform Birds

Avian Diseases, 1981
SUMMARY The feces of 98 granivorous passeriform birds, representing 10 different species, were examined for the occurrence of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Enteric bacteria were detected in only 17.3% of the birds examined.

Phylogeny and classification of the New World suboscines (Aves, Passeriformes)

Zootaxa, 2013
Here we present a phylogenetic hypothesis for the New World suboscine radiation, based on a dataset comprising of 219 terminal taxa and five nuclear molecular markers (ca. 6300 bp). We also estimate ages of the main clades in this radiation. This study corroborates many of the recent insights into the phylogenetic relationships of New World suboscines.

Molecular Systematics of the Malagasy Babblers (Passeriformes: Timaliidae) and Warblers (Passeriformes: Sylviidae), Based on Cytochrome b and 16S rRNA Sequences

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 1999
The phylogenetic relationships of the Timaliidae (babblers) and Sylviidae (warblers) have long challenged ornithologists. We focus here on three Malagasy genera currently assigned to the Timaliidae, Mystacornis, Oxylabes, and Neomixis, and on their relationships with other babblers and warblers using the sequences of two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome

Diseases and medical management of wild passeriformes

Seminars in Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine, 2003
Diseases of wild Passeriformes are varied and difficult to quantify. Veterinarians who treat these birds as part of their practice can provide a significant contribution by assisting in the documentation of these diseases. In doing so, a "flock history" is developed for local populations that will aid in future disease investigations.

Cooperative breeding in corvids (Passeriformes, Corvidae)

Biology Bulletin, 2016
The family of corvids differs from most other passerines by the significant number of species (at least 33) in which the feeding of nestlings and fledglings involves not only parents, but also individuals from their already grown broods (one-year-old and older).
