Glacial history and colonization of Europe by the blue tit <i>Parus caeruleus</i>

Laura Kvist, Keijo Viiri, Paula C. Dias et al. · 25 Jun 2004

Mitochondrial control region sequences from European populations of the blue tit Parus caeruleus were used to reveal the Pleistocene history and the post‐glacial recolonization of Europe by the species. The southern subspecies, P. c. ogliastrae was found to represent a stable population with isolation‐by‐distance structure harboring a lot of genetic variation, and the northern subspecies…

A Simple and Universal Method for Molecular Sexing of Non-Ratite Birds

Anna‐Karin Fridolfsson, Hans Ellegren · 1 Mar 1999

Molecular sexing is an attractive means to determine the sex of sexually monomorphic birds, e.g. chicks of most species. A universal approach for molecular sexing of birds would require that a conserved W chromosome-linked sequence could be analysed, but no single gene has previously been known from any avian W chromosome. The recent discovery of…

Flying, fasting, and feeding in birds during migration: a nutritional and physiological ecology perspective

Scott R. McWilliams, Christopher G. Guglielmo, Barbara J. Pierce et al. · 26 Aug 2004

Unlike exercising mammals, migratory birds fuel very high intensity exercise (e.g., flight) with fatty acids delivered from the adipose tissue to the working muscles by the circulatory system. Given the primary importance of fatty acids for fueling intense exercise, we discuss the likely limiting steps in lipid transport and oxidation for exercising birds and the…

Life History Evolution in Tropical and South Temperate Birds: What Do We Really Know?

Thomas E. Martin · 1 Dec 1996

ity in driving life history evolution (e.g., Cole 1954, Murphy 1968, Charlesworth 1980, Reznick and Bryga 1987, Curio 1989, Reznick et al. 1990). Yet, food is thought to be more important in birds (Lack 1948, 1968, Murphy and Haukioja 1986, Martin 1987). Nest predation is a theoretical alternative to food limitation (Slagsvold 1982, Lima 1987,…
