Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) Science Article 1 abstract A recent phylogenetic survey of the New World orioles (genus Icterus; Omland et al. 1999) suggested that the Baltimore Oriole (I. galbula) and the Black-backed Oriole (I. abeillei) are sister taxa. That survey examined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a single representative of each species in the genus. […]

VARIACION DEL HEMATOCRITO DURANTE EL PERIODOREPRODUCTOR EN EL RABILARGO CYANOPICA CYANUS
Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyanus) Science Article 3 abstract Changes in the haematocrit in Azure-winged Magpies Cyanopica cyanus during the reproductiveperiod. Previous studies have suggested that the haematocrit could be related to a number of factors within the birds’ biological cycle. In this study, the variation found in the haematocrit of Azure-winged Magpies Cyanopica cyanus during […]
Testosterone and helping behavior in the azure-winged magpie(Cyanopica cyanus): natural covariation and an experimental test
Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyanus) Science Article 2 abstract In this study, we investigated patterns of natural covariation between testosterone and reproductive status in a cooperatively breeding bird species, the azurewinged magpie (Cyanopica cyanus). To assess the relationship between testosterone and breeding behavior,we also manipulated testosterone (T) levels early in the season (before breeding started) using […]
Synchronic east
Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyanus) Science Article 4 abstract Morphometric and genetic analyses were performed to investigate the relationships between populations of the azure-winged magpie (Cyanopica cyanus). In the morphometric analysis 193 specimens were included representing seven of the nine currently accepted subspecies. Among eight characters analysed, four showed significant differences between samples from Spain and […]
Notes on Phyhoseopus coronatus iiimae
Arctic Warbler (Phylloscopus borealis) Science Article 1 abstract Three of these little-known Willow Warblers were taken in the southern part of Okinawa Shims, Riu KM Islands, in the fall of 1945. Unfortunately, two were lost subsequently, but in view of the bird’s rarity, it seems worth while to place on record the notes that were […]
Breeding Ecology and Habitat Associationsof the Arctic Warbler in Interior Alaska
Arctic Warbler (Phylloscopus borealis) Science Article 2 abstract The Alaska Bird Observatory (ABO) initiated a three-year study in May 2004 to describe the breeding biology and habitat associations of Arctic Warblers (Phylloscopus borealis kennecotti) along the Denali Highway (Milepost 23-34) between Tangle Lakes and Maclaren Summit. Richard Ring, Susan Sharbaugh, and Nancy Dewitt, Alaska Bird […]
Changing nesting dates and nest placement as adaptations ofAquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola to unstable nestingconditions on fen mires in Belarus
Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) Science Article 10 abstract Between 1998 and 2005, several studies were undertaken into breeding phenology and nestplacement of the Aquatic Warbler on the three largest fen mires in Belarus (Dikoe, Sporovoand Zvanets) Lyubov Vergeichik & Alexander Kozulin, VOGELWELT 127: 145 – 155 (2006) Download article download full text (pdf)
Modelling the winter distributionof the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola
Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) Science Article 7 abstract The conservation of migratory bird species poses special problems associated with their annualmovements which often span continents, because species survival is dependent on the conservationof not only breeding grounds, but also stop-over sites and wintering grounds BRUNO A. WALTHER et al, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen Download […]
Offspring sex ratio variation in relation to brood sizeand mortality in a promiscuous species: the AquaticWarblerAcrocephalus paludicola
Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) Science Article 15 abstract We analyse nestling sex ratio variation in the Aquatic WarblerAcrocephalus paludicolato testfor predictions from sex allocation theory that the brood sex ratio is close to parity. We alsotested Fiala’s (1980) prediction that there is no difference in sex ratio between broodsaffected and not affected by mortality, and […]
