The energy cycle and thermal tolerance of the starlings (Aves, Sturnidae) in North America
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1975Gross energy intake, excretory energy, and metabolizable energy of both the common starling and the crested myna were obtained at outdoor temperatures through 12 consecutive months. Basal metabolic rates for the two species were determined to be 12.6 and 9.5 cal/g h for starlings and mynas respectively.The thermal response of both species was ...

The haemoproteids of the passeriform families Corvidae and Sturnidae are reviewed. Haemoproteus danilewskii Kruse, 1890 and H. picae Coatney and Roudabush, 1937 of the Corvidae and H. pastoris de Mello, 1936 of the Sturnidae have been redescribed and neohapantotypes designated.

Praziquantel as a Treatment of Cestodiasis in Certain Sturnidae Species
The Journal of Zoo Animal Medicine, 1986The colony of Bali mynahs, Leucospar rothschildi, housed at the Baltimore Zoo has had a persistent cestode infestation since its assemblage. Cestode ova and proglottids were consistently demonstrated on periodic routine fecals. Prior anthelmintic treatment consisted of a single oral dose of niclosamide at a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight administered ...

Two species of starlings (Sturnidae) have established themselves in southwestern British Columbia: the crested myna (Sturnus cristatellus), by escape from captivity about 5897, and the common starling (Sturnus vulgaris), by natural invasion during the 1950's. The crested myna has shown little capacity to expand its range or its population.

The timing of breeding and wing‐moult of four African Sturnidae
Ibis, 1983Wing‐moult of the Cape Glossy Starling, Red‐winged Starling, Pale‐winged Starling and Pied Starling was examined primarily from specimens in southern African museums. Breeding data were obtained from nest record cards.The Cape Glossy Starling breeds from October to March, with the moult period from December to May.

The Auk, 1985
Electron micrographs of transverse sections of starling feathers, show-ing different structural types:(a) type A, Creatophora cinerea;(b) type B, Poeoptera kenricki;(c) type B, Lamprotornis purpureiceps;(d) type C, Spreo fischeri. nus Hylopsar, and are grouped as a superspecies by Hall and Moreau (1970). Here similar colors apparently are produced by a

Thermal adaptation in North American Sturnidae
2011Differential colonization success by the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and the tropical crested myna (Sturnus cristatellus), both introduced to North America in the late 1890's was examined in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Evidence existed which indicated mynas might be less well adapted than the European starling to the thermal regime
