The fossil record of owls (Strigiformes) is one of the most extensive among the neornithine birds, yet at the same time largely restricted geographically to Europe and North America. Various fossil owls are known from the Paleocene (ca. 60 Ma) to Recent. Here we present the first taxonomic description of new species of Paleogene owls from Asia, two new

Biochemical variability in four species of strigiformes
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1991Genetic variability in four species of Strigiformes was studied with multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, and results were used to estimate genetic diversity values. Strix aluco showed average values of polymorphism (P) and heterozygosity (H) higher than Tyto alba and Athene noctua.

A Review of the Systematics of Neotropical Owls (Strigiformes)
2017Although birds belong to the best known animal groups, their systematics has not been fully resolved yet. Among the approximately 80 Neotropical owl species, there are monotypic genera such as Lophostrix, complex and diverse genera such as Megascops or Glaucidium, as well as widespread and variable taxa such as Bubo virginianus and Tyto furcata.

Abstract Owls (Order Strigiformes) are grouped into two cosmopolitan families: the species-rich Strigidae (typical owls, 187 species; Fig. 1) and the relatively depauperate Tytonidae (barn owls and bay owls, 15 species). Owls are broadly characterized by adaptations to predation (strong zygodactyl feet, raptorial bill and talons, and soJ-

Haemosporidian parasites from captive Strigiformes in France
Parasitology Research, 2020Haemosporidia infections may cause major damage to avian populations and represent a concern for veterinarians working in zoological parks or wildlife rescue centres. Following the fatal infection of 9 Great grey owls (Strix nebulosa) at Mulhouse zoological park, between summer 2013 and 2015, a prospective epidemiological investigation was performed in

The haemoproteids of the avian order Strigiformes
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1989The avian order Strigiformes consists of two families, the Strigidae (136 species) and the Tytonidae (12 species). To date 13 species of haemoproteids (Haemosporina: Haemoproteidae) have been described from the Strigidae, whereas none has been described from the Tytonidae. Haemoproteus asio and H. otus are nomina nuda. Haemoproteus bubonis, H.

The karyograms of some Falconiformes and Strigiformes
Chromosoma, 1966The chromosome complements of cultured cells of the Falconidae are characterized by their low values: 2n=52 in Falco tinnunculus. 2n=68 in Buteo buteo, 64 in an unknown species (Accipiter nisus ?). The Strigidae have high chromosome numbers: 82 in Strix aluco and Athene noctua, 92 in Tyto alba.

HAEMATOLOGIC PARAMETERS ON VARIOUS SPECIES OF STRIGIFORMES AND FALCONIFORMES
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1978Normal mean values for packed cell volume, total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, total protein and mean corpuscular volume were obtained from 37 species of Strigiformes and Falconiformes representing 207 individuals.

Der Stammbaum der Eulenvogel reicht seit der Abspaltung der „Nachtgreifvogel“ von den „Taggreifvogeln“ wenigstens 60 Mio. Jahre zuruck, wobei die Lebensform Eule nur einmal entwickelt wurde (monophyletisch). Nach Fossilfunden erfolgte die Aufspaltung in die beiden Familien Tytonidae (Schleiereulen-artige) und Strigidae (Eigentliche Eulen) im Miozan ...

Serum proteins of selected Falconiformes and Strigiformes
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1982Abstract Blood samples were collected from ten species of raptors during the Fall 1980 migration in the vicinity of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Serum protein electrophoresis was performed on the samples in order to compare taxa based on biochemical information and relate this to current systematics.
