Nest Architecture, Clutch Size, Nestling Growth Patterns and Nestling Attendance of the Fire-eyed Diucon (Xolmis pyrope) in North-Central Chile
(Wilson Ornithological Soc, 2016)
We present descriptions of nest architecture, clutch size, nestling growth and nestling attendance for the Fire-eyed Diucon (Xolmis pyrope), based on nests found at the Fray Jorge National Park, Chile, at the northernmost ...
Lethal and sublethal effects of botfly (Philornis seguyi) parasitism on House Wren nestlingsEfectos Letales y Subletales del Parasitismo de Philornis sobre los Pichones de Troglodytes aedon
(Cooper Ornithological Society, 2012-02)
We studied the effect of botfly (Philornis seguyi) parasitism on survival and growth of House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) nestlings. We investigated whether nestling survival was related to (1) the intensity of botfly ...

Nestlé is a company founded in 1866 by Henry Nestlé, which is currently the world's leading nutrition, health and wellness company developing products through innovation and renewal. The functions for the position of ...
Nesting biology and nest survival of the Grassland Sparrow (Ammodramus humeralis) in grazed grasslands of central-eastern Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-02)
Knowledge of the breeding biology of grassland birds is important given the accelerated rate of transformation of their habitats, which has led to noticeable population declines of many species. Although several species ...
The Impacts of Parasitic Flies (Philornis spp.) on Nestlings of Three Passerines in a Southern Temperate Forest of ArgentinaImpactos de las moscas parásitas (philornis spp.) en los pollos de tres paseriformes en un bosque templado de Argentina
(Sociedad Española de Ornitología, 2021-08)
Philornis flies exert strong negative selection on avian host life histories. However, their possible influence at the southern limits of parasite distribution remains poorly studied. We collected data on Philornis parasitism ...
Morphological and behavioral evidence of Batesian mimicry in nestlings of a lowland Amazonian bird.
(University of Chicago PressFacultad de Ciencias NaturalesBiologíaDepartamento de Ciencias Biológicas, 2015-06-01)
Because predation is the main cause of avian nest failure, selection should favor strategies that reduce the probability of nest predation. We describe apparent Batesian mimicry in the morphology and behavior of a Laniocera ...
Digestive constraints and nutrient hydrolysis in nestlings of two flamingo species
(American Ornithologist Society, 2001)
In vertebrates, enzymatic activity levels in the small intestine are correlated with dietary composition. We examined enzymatic activity levels in juvenile specimens of two flamingo species, Phoenicoparrus andinus and ...
Developmental changes in digestive physiology of nestling house sparrows, Passer domesticus
(University of Chicago Press, 2001-10)
Six decades of studies have speculated that digestive capacity might limit avian growth rate or that developmental changes in the gut might determine developmental changes in digestive efficiency. However, there are no ...
Nesting and natural history of the Plain-winged Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla turdina): Foraging associations and uniparental careNidificación e historia natural de Dendrocincla turdina: asociaciones de forrajeo y cuidado uniparental
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2018-12)
Los integrantes del género Dendrocincla (Furnariidae: Dendrocolaptinae) son conocidos por sus asociaciones mientras forrajean con correcciones de hormigas y grupos de mamíferos, y por sus machos emancipados, que no ...
