For example, in the current paper we have validated this assay on non-traditional amphibian (rough skinned newts, Taricha granulosa), reptilian (garter snakes, Thamnophis elegans), avian (house finches, Carpodacus mexicanus), and mammalian (coyotes, Canis latrans) species.
"The so-called 'final proof' that the avian beak is housing a map-related magnetic field receptor system requires a lot more experiments, such as direct electrophysiological recordings from these sensory units," Fleissner says.
It's 1912, and Constantia Gifford practises her father's trade, for with the failure of his once-thriving business, Gifford's World Famous House of Avian Curiosities, the taxidermist has sunk into drunken inertia.
The house sparrow hosts avian pox and avian malaria, which it has spread to the native forest birds of Hawaii.
Principal component analysis and multiple linear regression statistical tests were used to determine the effects of housing densities on avian community parameters, guilds, individual species distributions, and environmental variables.
Thus, the analyses reported here indicate that the effects of housing development on avian diversity appear to depend heavily on landscape context.
Mosquito netting was introduced at SANCCOB in 2008 to protect housed penguins from contracting avian malaria and there has been no evidence of pox infections since then, suggesting that the initial infections were transmitted by biting insects.
Though the roof lines are entirely functional, for the house's architect, Tom Kundig, the avian analogy is an apt one.
The first sampling site was an avian taxidermy exhibition at Swiss Cottage, Osborne House, Isle of Wight.
During 2006 2008, we tested this hypothesis in candidate avian amplifying hosts: domestic chickens, rock pigeons, house sparrows, great-tailed grackles, and clay-colored thrushes.
Previous studies have reported that DTMUV can infect a wide variety of avian species, including geese, chickens, pigeons, and house sparrows, indicating the continued expansion of its host range (7, 10 – 10 ).
