  • Effects of Nestling Diet on Growth and Adult Size of Zebra Finches (Poephila Guttata )
    THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY VOL. 104 APRIL 1987 NO. 2 EFFECTS OF NESTLING DIET ON GROWTH AND ADULT SIZE OF ZEBRA FINCHES (POEPHILA GUTTATA ) PETER T. BOAG Departmentof Biology,Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada Al•STRACT.--Manipulationof the diet of Zebra Finch (Poephilaguttata) nestlings in the laboratoryshowed that a low-quality diet reducedgrowth ratesof nine externalmorpholog- ical characters,while a high-quality diet increasedgrowth rates.The growth of plumage characterswas least affectedby diet, while growth ratesof tarsusand masswere most af- fected. The treatments also produced differencesin the adult size of experimental birds, differencesnot evident in either their parentsor their own offspring.Diet quality had the strongestimpact on adult massand tarsuslength, while plumage and beak measurements were less affected. Analysis using principal componentsand characterratios showed that the shapeof experimentalbirds was affectedby the experimentaldiets, but to a minor extent comparedwith changesin overall size. Significantshape changes involved ratiosbetween fast- and slow-growingcharacters. The ratios of charactersthat grow at similar, slow rates (e.g. beak shape) were not affected by the diets.

  • First Arizona Record of Common Crane
    Arizona Birds - Journal of Arizona Field Ornithologists Volume 2020 FIRST ARIZONA RECORD OF COMMON CRANE JOE CROUSE,1125 W. SHULLENBARGER DR., FLAGSTAFF, AZ 86005 The first record of a Common Crane (Grus grus), a Eurasian species, in Arizona was reported in May 2017 at Mormon Lake in Coconino County. It remained at this lake through September 2017. In 2019 a Common Crane was reported 11 May through 31 August at Mormon Lake. The 2017 record has been reviewed and accepted by the Arizona Bird Committee (Rosenberg et al. 2019), and the 2019 bird has been accepted as the same individual. The Common Crane is a widespread crane found in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Breeding occurs across northern Europe and northern Asia, from Norway on the west to Siberia on the east. Nonbreeding populations are found as far west as Morocco and to southeastern China. A resident population exists in Turkey (NatureServe and IUCN 2017, Figure 1). Preferred habitat for both breeding and nonbreeding birds is small ponds or lakes, wet meadows, and other wetland areas (Cramp and Simmons 1980). Figure 1. Common Crane Distribution Cramp and Simmons (1980) stated that the Common Crane range in western Europe has had a “marked” decrease since the Middle Ages. They attributed this to the draining of nesting areas. Since 1950 improved habitat protections, recolonization in previously inhabited areas, and designation as a protected species have resulted in a dramatic increase in the overall population (Prange 2005). Although its range has decreased, it continues to be extensive enough, along with the increase in its already large population, to give it the status of a species of “Least Concern” (BirdLife International 2016, NatureServe and IUCN 2019).
