Avian energetics: The passerine/non-passerine dichotomy.
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2016 Whether passerines collectively have a higher mean mass-independent basal rate of metabolism than the mean of other birds has been controversial. The conclusion that no difference exists was based on phylogenetic analyses. Higher basal rates, however, have been repeatedly seen in passerines and demonstrated by ANCOVA analyses. Several studies indicated

Passeriformes, more commonly known as perching birds or passerines, are the most species-rich group of birds. Totaling nearly 6500 species, approximately two out of every three bird species is a passerine. Passerines are globally distributed and are among the most abundant birds at nearly every terrestrial location on Earth.

Polyterritorialitytion in passerine birds
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1989In some birds, males defend two spatially separated territories and attract females to each one in turn. it has been proposed that this behaviour, referred to as polyterritoriality, allows males to conceal their marital status, thereby deceiving females into accepting polygyny against their best interests.

Physical Examination of Passerines
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 1999A physical examination of a passerine incorporates the same basic techniques used for other avian species. Although frequently a concern for practitioners, the small size of many of these patients can be overcome with a few technical and equipment modifications.

Lead shot toxicity to passerines
Environmental Pollution, 2001This study evaluated the toxicity of a single size 7.5 lead shot to passerines. No mortalities or signs of plumbism were observed in dosed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) fed a commercial diet, but when given a more natural diet, three of 10 dosed birds died within 1 day.

AbstractWe present a predicted passerine genome map consisting of 196 microsatellite markers distributed across 25 chromosomes. The map was constructed by assigning chromosomal locations based on the sequence similarity between 550 publicly available passerine microsatellites and the draft chicken genome sequence published by the International Chicken ...

Abstract 1. 1. Eight species of passerines were evaluated for their ability to form conditioned responses to odor stimuli. Only 5 species met training criteria and were tested for odor detection thresholds. 2. 2. Detection thresholds were comparable to other passerines tested.
