Dietary and isotopic specialization: The isotopic niche of three cinclodes ovenbirds
(2009)
By comparing the isotopic composition of tissues deposited at different times, we can identify individuals that shift diets over time and individuals with constant diets. We define an individual as an isotopic specialist ...
Water economy of three Cinclodes (Furnariidae) species inhabiting marine and freshwater ecosystems
(SOCIEDAD BIOLOGIA CHILE, 2004-06)
Birds living in desert environments have been the preferred models for the study of physiological adaptations to water scarcity. Passerine birds living in marine coastal habitats face similar problems, yet physiological ...
Osmoregulatory capacity and the ability to use marine food sources in two coastal songbirds (Cinclodes: Furnariidae) along a latitudinal gradient
(2006)
Cinclodes nigrofumosus and C. oustaleti are two closely related songbirds that inhabit the northern Chilean coast during the austral fall and winter.This stretch spans a dramatic north to south latitudinal gradient in ...
Morphological divergence in a continental adaptive radiation: South American ovenbirds of the genus Cinclodes
(American Ornithologists’ Union, 2015)
Cinclodes is an ecologically diverse genus of South American passerine birds and represents a case of continental
adaptive radiation along multiple axes. We investigated morphological diversification in Cinclodes using ...
Isotopic niches support the resource breadth hypothesis
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
© 2016 The Authors. Journal of Animal Ecology © 2016 British Ecological SocietyBecause a broad spectrum of resource use allows species to persist in a wide range of habitat types, and thus permits them to occupy large ...
Osmoregulation and adaptive radiation in the ovenbird genus Cinclodes (Passeriformes: Furnariidae)
(2006)
1. The genus Cinclodes is unique among passerines because it includes two species that can be considered marine/coastal and also includes several species that inhabit freshwater streams or that shift habitats between ...
Seasonal changes in the use of marine food resources by Cinclodes nigrofumosus (furnariidae, aves): carbon isotopes and osmoregulatory physiology
(SOCIEDAD BIOLGIA CHILE, 2005-06)
Passerines lack functional salt glands and to a large extent avoid feeding on marine invertebrates. An exception is Cinclodes nigrofulnosits. Previous studies reported that the contents of its gastrointestinal tract had a ...
Coping with salt without salt glands: osmoregulatory plasticity in three species of coastal songbirds (ovenbirds) of the genus Cinclodes (Passeriformes : Furnariidae)
(SPRINGER, 2004-07)
We investigated the phenotypic plasticity of renal function in three South American coastal passerine Cinclodes (ovenbirds) differing in the proportion of marine prey they consume. Individuals were acclimated to two regimes ...
Terrestrial birds in coastal environments: metabolic rate and oxidative status varies with the use of marine resources
(Springer, 2018)
Life in saline environments represents a major physiological challenge for birds, particularly for passerines that lack nasal salt glands and hence are forced to live in environments that do not contain salty resources. ...
Multi-tissue delta H-2 analysis reveals altitudinal migration and tissue-specific discrimination patterns in Cinclodes
(Ecological Soc. Amer., 2015)
One of the fastest growing uses of stable isotope analysis in ecology is using hydrogen isotope (delta H-2) values to characterize animal movement and migration strategies. Most studies measure delta H-2 values in metabolically ...
