Phylogeographic patterns in Motacilla flava and Motacilla citreola: species limits and population history
Citrine Wagtail (Motacilla citreola) Science Article 2 abstract We conducted phylogeographic analyses of Motacilla fl ava (Yellow Wagtail) andM. citreola (Citrine Wagtail). We analyzed mitochondrial DNA sequences from 167 M. fl avaspecimens obtained from 17 localities throughout Eurasia and Alaska, and 38 specimens of M.citreola obtained from 7 Eurasian localities. Phylogenetic analysis revealed three clades […]
Breeding biology of the citrine wagtail (Motacilla citreola) in the Gdansk region (N Poland)
Citrine Wagtail (Motacilla citreola) Science Article 1 abstract In the years 1997-2001, I observed 28 broods of the Citrine Wagtail (Motacilla citreola) in the Gulf of Gdask region. First birds arrived at the study area at the end of April. A successful breeding cycle lasted about 1 month and included: 3-4 days of nest building, […]
Climate change and spring migration in the Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava : an Afrotropical perspective
Blue-headed Wagtail (Motacilla flava) Science Article 3 abstract Timing of pre-migratory fattening among Yellow Wagtails Motacilla flava wintering in Nigeria pre-1980 is compared with that in the period 2004-2006 to determine whether this has been affected by trends towards earlier spring phenology in Europe over the same period. Wagtails wintering in northern Nigeria showed later […]
