Download or read book Bird parasite Interactions written by Jenella E. Loye and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1991 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds are hosts to many parasites, internal and external. The parasites inevitably form a burden to the host bird and therefore may affect its ability to grow, survive, and reproduce; its behaviour; and the distribution and abundance of the whole species. In consequence, bird-parasite systemshave attracted attention from diverse fields and the literature has been spread out in a wide range of specialized journals. The editors of this book have drawn together a comprehensive range of experts in the field to provide an invaluable reference of current work in bird-parasite interactions. The book is divided into four parts. The introduction provides the contemporary context of research in bird-parasite systems and presents case studies which combine theoretical concepts with experimental data. Subsequent parts focus on the ecology; behavioural responses; and the effect ofparasitism on sexual selection.

Download or read book Avian Brood Parasitism written by Manuel Soler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brood parasitism has become one of the most flourishing areas of research in evolutionary ecology and one of the best model systems for investigating coevolution. This subject has undergone remarkable advances during the last two decades, but has not been covered by any book in the 21st century. This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the fascinating field of avian brood parasitism. The topics covered include conspecific brood parasitism; evolution and phylogenetic history of avian brood parasites; parasitic behaviour used by brood parasites; adaptations and counter-adaptations of brood parasites and their hosts at every stage of the breeding cycle (before laying, egg, chick and fledgling stages); factors affecting the evolution of host defences and parasitic attacks; the role of phenotypic plasticity in host defences; mechanisms driving egg recognition and rejection; evolution of nest sharing or nest killing by brood parasite chicks; begging behaviour in parasitized nests and food delivery by host adults; and recognition of conspecifics by juvenile brood parasites. This volume provides a comprehensive reference resource for readers and researchers with an interest in birds, behaviour and evolution, as well as a source of hypotheses and predictions for future investigations into this dynamic subject.

Download or read book Nests Eggs and Incubation written by D. Charles Deeming and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nests, Eggs, and Incubation brings together a global team of leading authorities to provide a comprehensive overview of the fascinating and diverse field of avian reproduction. Starting with a new assessment of the evolution of avian reproductive biology in light of recent research, the book goes on to cover four broad areas: the nest, the egg, incubation, and the study of avian reproduction. New research on nest structures, egg traits, and life history is incorporated, whilst contemporary methodologies such as self-contained temperature probes and citizen science are also discussed. Applied chapters describe how biological knowledge can be applied to challenges such as urbanisation and climate change. The book concludes by suggesting priorities for future research. This book builds upon the foundations laid down by Charles Deeming's 2002 work Avian Incubation (available for readers of this book to access online for free), much of which remains relevant today. Read in conjunction with this previous volume, it provides an up-to-date and thorough review of egg biology, nest function, and incubation behaviour, which will be an essential resource for students of avian biology, as well as both professional and amateur ornithologists working in the field of avian reproduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The results of this dissertation are a step forward in the understanding of host-parasite interactions in tropical and temperate areas. Overall, the first chapter indicates that host-species are more important than water-related variables in explaining parasite prevalence across environmental gradients, which offers opportunities to study the factors responsible for parasitic infections and how are parasite communities structured in tropical forest. The second chapter we found that prevalence and lineage diversity of haemosporidians varied significantly over the year, being higher during breeding and migration while decreasing during wintering. We found that Gray-cheeked Thrushes shared few parasite lineages with tropical resident birds and slightly more lineages with other migratory and resident-boreal species. My results indicate that long-distance migratory songbirds may not be important dispersers of blood parasites because there are ecological and evolutionary barriers to the interchange of parasites across vastly separated areas. Finally in the third chapter I found that Santa Marta and New Guinea differed in parasite diversity and degree of host-parasite specialization (both were higher in New Guinea), however, I provide evidence for reciprocal elevational zonation between haemosporidian parasites and closely related species of bird as well as variation in prevalence patterns between bird species replacing each other with elevation in both mountain systems. Although these patterns are consistent with predictions of the hypothesis that parasites limit host geographic ranges, additional work including studies of vector ecology and experiments are necessary to determine whether patterns in fact imply causal relationships. I summary my thesis offers a wide perspective on the ecology and evolution of host-parasite interactions in a variety of systems that includes population and community approaches of the host and parasites."--Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado.
