Hypopi (Acari: Hypoderatidae) from the Roseate Spoonbill (Aves: Ciconiiformes; Threskiornithidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1996
A new species and additional host records for 4 other species of quiescent deutonymphs (hypopi) of mites of the family Hypoderatidae are described from the subcutaneous adipose tissues of a roseate spoonbill, Ajaia ajaja L., in Florida. The hypopus of Phalacrodectes parvus n. sp. most closely resembles that of P.

Species Delimitation in the GenusEudocimus(Threskiornithidae: Pelecaniformes): First Genetic Approach

Waterbirds, 2014
Abstract. The Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber) and White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) are often classified as separate species, but differing scientific opinions exist regarding the taxonomic status of these birds, as they exhibit similar behavior and hybridize in nature. The present study provides genetic data to help clarify this taxonomic issue.

Breeding, movements and conservation of Ibises (Threskiornithidae) in Australia

CSIRO Wildlife Research, 1962
Flooding at any season stimulates the breeding of ibises, and the white ibis, Threskiornis molucca (Cuvier), responds earlier than the straw-necked ibis, T. spinicollis (Jameson). Band recoveries show that both species disperse widely throughout Australia from breeding centres in the south. Measures are proposed for management of the Macquarie Marshes,

The chromosomes of the Hadada ibis and comments on the karyotype evolution in Threskiornithidae (Aves, Ciconiiformes)

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 1982
The karyotype of <i>Hagedashia hagedash </i>differs from that of the other ibises karyotyped and introduces further karyotypic variability within the family Threskiornithidae. This variability is in contrast with the generalized karyotypic uniformity of birds and the karyotypic identity displayed by the family Ciconidae, which is closely ...

Sunning behaviour in ibis (Threskiornithidae) - Observations on four species and conclusions for captivity care

Der Zoologische Garten, 2010
Abstract In this article, we describe and compare the sunning behaviour of four ibis species, which represent four different genera (Threskiornis, Plegadis, Geronticus and, for the first time, Eudocimus). Sunning is a genetically fixed form of comfort behaviour. Sunning behaviour can be divided in an initiation and ascending.
