- Calibration of a hand-held haemoglobin analyser for use on fish blood (2008, methodology): “…et al., 1986; Lardi et al., 1998) and has been used to measure [Hb] of birds and fishes, but without validation (Alvarez-Pellitero & Pinto, 1987; Nyholm et al., 1995; Burness et al., 2000; Schmitt et al., 2005; Dudaniec et al., 2006; Eklom & Lill, 2006; Simmons & Lill, 2006; Schmitt et al., 2007).”
- Philornis downsi parasitism is the primary cause of nestling mortality in the critically endangered Darwin’s medium tree finch (Camarhynchus pauper) (2010, methodology): “The number of parasites feeding on each nestling may be diluted in nests with larger broods ( Dudaniec et al. 2006 ), but tree finches generally have small clutch sizes (2–3 eggs) (Kleindorfer 2007), which may increase the intensity of larvae per nestling and intensify larval feeding on fewer nestli”
- Effects of the parasitic flies of the genus Philornis (Diptera: Muscidae) on birds (2006, background): “…have found significant reductions in nestling fitness and survival caused by Philornis larvae (Winterstein and Raitt 1983; Delannoy and Cruz 1991; Young 1993; Nores 1995; Dudaniec et al. 2006; Fessl et al. 2006), others have not (Glasgow and Henson 1957; Kinsella and Winegarner 1974; Oniki 1983).”
