Neotropical Bird Migration During The Ice Ages: Orientation And Ecology [PDF]
, 1996 Reconstruction of breeding habitat of North American Neotropical migrants 18,000 years ago and 9,000 years ago indicated major shifts in both location and composition of plant communities relative to present conditions.

Isolation of microsatellite loci in the Capricorn silvereye, Zosterops lateralis chlorocephalus (Aves : Zosteropidae) [PDF]
, 2003 The Capricorn silvereye (Zosterops lateralis chlorocephalus ) is ideally suited to investigating the genetic basis of body size evolution. We have isolated and characterized a set of microsatellite markers for this species.

Mitochondrial Gene Diversity and Host Specificity of Isospora in Passerine Birds
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Isospora infections are common in both wild and captive passerine species. Many bird species have been shown to have co-evolved with a particular species of Isospora.

Comparative Analyses of the Digestive Tract Microbiota of New Guinean Passerine Birds
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The digestive tract microbiota (DTM) plays a plethora of functions that enable hosts to exploit novel niches. However, our understanding of the DTM of birds, particularly passerines, and the turnover of microbial communities along the digestive tract are

Avian Malaria Among House Sparrows: a Survey of Disease and Mosquito Vectors (Diptera: Culicidae) in Reed City, Michigan [PDF]
, 2017 Nine of 350 house sparrows caught in Reed City, Michigan, had malaria parasites detectable on Giemsa-stained thin films. All of the infected birds were juveniles, Parasitemias were too low to permit identification of the Plasmodium present. Collection of

The role of UV in crab spider signals: effects on perception by prey and predators [PDF]
, 2005 Australian crab spiders Thomisus spectabilis sit on the petals of flowers and ambush prey such as honeybees. White-coloured T. spectabilis reflect in the UV (UV+ spiders) and previous research has shown that their presence, curiously, attracts honeybees ...

The relationship of telomere length to baseline corticosterone levels in nestlings of an altricial passerine bird in natural populations. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundEnvironmental stressors increase the secretion of glucocorticoids that in turn can shorten telomeres via oxidative damage. Modification of telomere length, as a result of adversity faced early in life, can modify an individual's phenotype ...

Evidence for passerine bird pollination in Rhododendron species
AoB Plants, 2017 It has been hypothesized that flowering plants at high elevation could be pollinated by local passerine birds given that low temperature limits insect activity.
