Why do birds participate in mixed-species foraging flocks? A large-scale synthesis (2009, background): “…2000 pusilla 3* Pomatostomus isidorei Pomatostomidae Bell 1983 Melanocharis nigra Melanocharatidae 4* Gerygone chrysogaster Acanthizidae Bell 1983; Nicholls et al. 2000 magnirostris 5* Alcippe morrisonia Timaliidae Chen & Hsieh 2002; Cibois 2003 brunnea 6* Dicrurus aeneus Dicruridae Croxall 1976…”
Sex-specific foraging behaviour in northern gannets Morus bassanus: incidence and implications (2012, methodology): “DNA was extracted from freeze-dried RBCs (approximately 0.7 ± 0.1 mg) using an ammonium acetate protocol (e.g. see Nicholls et al. 2000).”
Songs of male humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, are involved in intersexual interactions (2008, unknown): “We extracted the DNA using an ammonium acetate method (Nicholls et al. 2000) and amplified it using a multiplex PCR method similar to that described in Rosel (2003), using primers P15EZ, P23EZ for the Zfx/Zfy gene (Aasen & Medrano 1990) and Y53-3c, Y53-3d for the SRY gene (Gilson et al. 1998).”
Post‐fledging care, philopatry and recruitment in brown thornbills (2001, background): “Furthermore, help by auxiliary males in a cooperative species from the Acanthizidae, the white-browed scrubwren, was only found to increase reproductive success when females were in their first year (Magrath 2001).”
