Characterization of complete mitochondrial genome of the Brown Accentor Prunella fulvescens on the Tibet Plateau

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
The Brown Accentor (Prunella fulvescens) is a poorly known bird species distributed in Eurasia high-montane areas. In this paper, we described the whole mitochondrial genome of the Brown Accentor.

Testing the causal mechanism of the peninsular effect in passerine birds from South Korea.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The peninsular effect is a geographical phenomenon that explains patterns of species richness. Given that spatial variation in species richness along a peninsular may be driven by multiple processes, we aimed to identify the sources of latitudinal ...

A comparison of SNPs and microsatellites as linkage mapping markers: lessons from the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Genetic linkage maps are essential tools when searching for quantitative trait loci (QTL). To maximize genome coverage and provide an evenly spaced marker distribution a combination of different types of genetic marker are sometimes used.

Molecular Diversification of the Seminal Fluid Proteome in a Recently Diverged Passerine Species Pair

open access: yesMolecular biology and evolution, 2019
Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) mediate an array of postmating reproductive processes that influence fertilization and fertility. As such, it is widely held that SFPs may contribute to postmating, prezygotic reproductive barriers between closely related ...

Long-distance dispersal patterns in the Cerulean Warbler: a case study from Indiana

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2023
Dispersal, defined as movement an individual makes from one breeding population to another, is a process that strongly influences the population dynamics of many animal species.

Diet of breeding Eleonora's falcon Falco eleonorae in Algeria: Insights for the autumn trans‐Mediterranean avian migration

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
How environmental changes are affecting bird population dynamics is one of the most challenging conservation issues. Dietary studies of top avian predators could offer scope to monitor anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem changes.

Effect of timing and female quality on clutch size in the Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Capsule: Laying date and female age appear to be related to clutch size. Aims: To test two hypotheses ('date' and 'quality'), which might explain why fewer eggs are laid late in the season.

Linked seasonal outbreaks of Salmonella Typhimurium among passerine birds, domestic cats and humans, Sweden, 2009 to 2016

open access: yesEuro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2019
In 2016, an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium (STm) with multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) profiles historically associated with passerine birds (2-[11-15]-[3-4]-NA-212) occurred among passerines, cats and humans in Sweden.

Molecular characterization of Trichomonas gallinae isolates recovered from the Canadian Maritime provinces’ wild avifauna reveals the presence of the genotype responsible for the European finch trichomonosis epidemic and additional strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Finch trichomonosis, caused by Trichomonas gallinae, emerged in the Canadian Maritime provinces in 2007 and has since caused ongoing mortality in regional purple finch (Carpodacus purpureus) and American goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) populations ...

The predictive power of pollination syndromes: Passerine pollination in heterantherous Meriania macrophylla (Benth.) Triana (Melastomataceae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The cloud forest species Meriania macrophylla (Benth.) Triana has pseudocampanulate flowers with bulbous stamen appendages, typical for the passerine pollination syndrome found in the Melastomataceae tribe Merianieae. The species is further characterized
