Hazel Grouse (Bonasa Bonasia) Science Article 1 abstract Woodland grouse of the genus Bonasa occur allopatrically in circum-polar temperate and boreal forests. An interspecificcomparison of the size and pattern of eggs, the downy feathers of pulli and other morphological characters in the threespecies suggests convergence in character sets. Yet species-specific differentiation is evident in the […]

Hazel Grouse (Bonasa Bonasia) Science Article 2 abstract A total of 62 mitochondrial haplotypes were detected from 174 samples of hazelgrouse Bonasa bonasia from Hokkaido, Primorskii, Sakhalin, Magadan, Siberiaand Bohemia using 428 bp of the mitochondrial DNA control region. Haplotypediversity for four populations in Hokkaido was more than 0.8, suggestingthat a reasonable population size had […]

Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) Science Article 3 abstract A three-year field-based study of 85 radio-tagged female wild grey partridges Perdix perdix was undertaken during 200 -2003 in East Anglia, England, to investigate possible links between chick diet and parasite-induced disease. The females produced 30 broods, whose diet measured by f cal analysis was typical of […]

Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) Science Article 1 abstract The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region I (CR1) of 138 wild and 36 captive grey partridges (Perdix perdix) was sequenced. Representing two major mitochondrial DNA lineages that differed by 15 nucleotide substitutions (3.7%), the Finnish lineage dominated in the wild, whereas the European lineage dominated in the […]

Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) Science Article 2 abstract The grey partridge Perdix perdix is an important management concern in the European farmland. Pair numbers severely declined during the 20th century. As a result, the species has been listed in SPEC category 3, i.e. ‘Unfavourable’ conservation status in Europe. The largest population of western Europe occurs […]

Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar) Science Article 1 abstract We used multilocus proteine lectrophoresis to analyze population genetics of Chukars collected at five locations along a north-south gradient in Israel. These birds belongedto two nominal subspecies, the northern A. c. cypriotes, and southern A. c. sinaica.Chukars from China were used as an outgroup. ETTORE RANDI, The […]

Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar) Science Article 4 abstract The Chukar (Alectoris chukar cypriotes) is the most common game bird in Cyprus. Since 1990 the Cypriot Government has established a restocking program with captive
