In particular, they transmit parasites of the subgenus Haemoproteus, which are known to parasitize only
nonpasserine birds (Santiago-Alarcon et al., 2012, 2014).
Many passerine (perching, frugivore) birds have [[PHI].sub.m] = 5 x [10.sup.5] erg/s/g, which is ~30% higher ([143] claims this, but [139] refutes it) than
nonpasserine fliers whose energy rate densities are comparable to mammals when active; however, uncertainties linger about reported avian rates being basal, active, or some sort of operational average.
Sugar preferences of a generalist
nonpasserine flower visitor, the African Speckled Mousebird (Colius striatus).
Such research has been done for several specialist avian nectarivores, and for a few passerine occasional nectarivores, but not, apparently, for any
nonpasserine occasional nectarivore.
Clade 2.3.2 viruses from wild
nonpasserine bird species were reported in Hong Kong in 2007-2008 (10).
This second volume of Birds of Ontario covering
nonpasserine species from shorebirds through woodpeckers, offers extensive information on the geographical range, migration, breeding and habitats of over eighty species of birds found in this Canadian province.
In this paper we provide osteological, ecological and biogeographic details about the fossil avifauna from Terapa, which through subsequent field and laboratory research now consists of 31
nonpasserine taxa.
In contrast, the thermoregulatory processes of tropical birds, especially
nonpasserine species, have received far less study (e.g., Vleck and Vleck 1979, Bartholomew et al.
An atlas of speciation in African
nonpasserine birds.
External vasectomy in passerine birds and internal vasectomy in
nonpasserine birds can be done by following the surgical procedures described above.
Although research has shown that clade 2.3.4 viruses are established in poultry in Asia, the emergence of clade 2.3.2 viruses in
nonpasserine birds from Hong Kong, Japan, and Russia raises the possibility that this virus lineage may have become established in wild birds.
While vegetation and management significantly affected the abundances of passerine species (Walk, 1997) and may have influenced the occurrence of
nonpasserine species, management and vegetation types were distributed similarly among tracts.
