Genetic structure reveals management units for the yellow cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata), endangered by habitat loss and illegal trapping

Conservation Genetics, 2017
The yellow cardinal, Gubernatrix cristata, is an endangered passerine from southern South America. Populations are declining due to the loss of their natural habitat, which has caused a fragmented distribution, and the continuous extraction of individuals from the wild, mainly males, to sell them as cage birds.

Impact of Shiny Cowbird and botfly parasitism on the reproductive success of the globally endangered Yellow Cardinal Gubernatrix cristata [PDF]

Bird Conservation International, 2014
SummaryThe Yellow CardinalGubernatrix cristatais a globally endangered passerine endemic to southern South America. Although the conservation status of this species is alarming, there is no information about factors that affect its reproductive success. We studied the breeding biology of a Yellow Cardinal population in Corrientes province in north-east

Evidence for the evolution of male and female cardinals’ plumage colouration being affected by both natural and sexual selection [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
The evolution of sexually selected traits, such as colouration, has been the object of considerable research. Among birds, plumage colouration is highly variable and includes some of the most exuberant signals.
