  1. 1. Effects of farmland heterogeneity at multiple spatial and temporal scales on house sparrow (Passer domesticus) population ecology

    Författare :Maria von Post; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Farmland heterogeneity; house sparrow; agricultural intensification; farm specialisation; landscape complementation; resource separation; population limitation;

    Sammanfattning : Strong declines of European farmland birds in recent decades are assumed to be caused by decreased food availability resulting from agricultural intensification and concomitant loss of farmland heterogeneity. One of the species suffering particularly strong declines in NW European countries is the house sparrow. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The MHC genes: variation and impact on life-history traits in house sparrwos

    Författare :Maria Karlsson; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MHC-I; house sparrow; 454-amplicon sequencing; cDNA; functional clustering; trans-species evolution; nestling survival; mate-choice;

    Sammanfattning : In birds the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) organization differs both among and within orders. Galliformes often have simple arrangements with few transcribed MHC genes whilst many songbirds (Passeriformes) have a complex arrangement with many MHC genes and also presence of pseudo-genes.

  4. 3. Avian MHC : Characterization and expression patterns of classical and non-classical MHC-I genes

    Författare :Anna Drews; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MCH class I; Classical genes; Non-classical genes; Expression; Passerine birds;

    Sammanfattning : The function of the vertebrate immune system is to enable recognition and elimination of microorganisms that can cause harm (pathogens). A key component in adaptive immunity is the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that codes for molecules with antigen presentation function. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bird Species in Urban and Agricultural Landscapes : Bird diversity patterns along an urbanisation gradient and crop damage caused by birds on the Deccan Plateau, India

    Författare :Manoj Ashokrao Kale; Prosun Bhattacharya; Gabor L. Lövei; Peter Kjellander; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Bird assemblage structure; Forest-urban gradient; Scale-sensitive diversity; Crop depredation; Crop damage assessment; Deccan Plateau; India.; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The major human activities that have transformed the Earth include agriculture and urbanization. The present study was conducted to contribute to a description of the effect on birds of urbanization and agriculture in an Indian region. LÄS MER
