  • PTAČÍ FYLOGENEZE Dovnitř Patří Šplhavci
    E Afroaves – řada linií této skupiny je velmi rozrůzněna v Africe a pro Afriku stepokur kropenatý typická (vlhy, zoborožci, mandelíci), ale fosilie africký původ nepodporují. Mnoho (Pterocles burchelli) linií bylo řazeno do řádu srostloprstých, ale ten není monofyletický, poněvadž PTAČÍ FYLOGENEZE dovnitř patří šplhavci. Patří sem i myšáci (Coliiformes) a trogoni. F Australaves – obdobně jako u Afroaves dnes sice řada linií žije jen FYLOGENEZE NA HRUBÉ ÚROVNI A PTAČÍ ŘÁDY v australasijské oblasti, ale fosilní zástupci byli nalezeni všude možně, takže o původu skupiny těžko něco soudit. Zobrazený fylogenetický stromeček zahrnuje jen velké skupiny, přičemž co je „velká“ skupina, je docela arbitrární. Aby vůbec bylo možné dělat O Passerimorphae (nebo Psittacopasserae) – papoušci korektní fylogenetické analýzy, nesmí být těch skupin moc a zároveň je potřeba, aby to byly skupiny, o nichž se předpokládá, že jsou a pěvci sdílejí řadu znaků, například schopnost učit se zpěvu, která byla monofyletické. Reálně se totiž sekvenují samozřejmě jednotliví zástupci (tedy jeden druh, respektive přímo jeden jedinec z dané skupiny), považovaná za klíčovou pro jejich sloučení (pokládala se za znak vzniklý jen a potřebujeme tedy, aby skutečně skupinu reprezentovali. Proto by nestačilo brát zástupce tradičních ptačích řádů, které známe z učebnic, jednou u jejich společného předka, tedy synapomorfii). Ovšem vzhledem k tomu, jelikož se ukázalo, že řada z nich monofyletických není. Tradiční „dravci“ byli například polyfyletičtí, poněvadž zahrnovali monofyletickou že u pěvců je s jistotou známa jen ve skupině Oscines (zpěvní) a navíc se vyskytuje skupinu složenou z orlů, jestřábů, káňat apod. (včetně kondorů), ale taky sokolovité (poštolky, sokoly apod.), kteří jsou ve skutečnosti blízce také u zcela nezávislých kolibříků, musela vzniknout víckrát konvergentně, a to příbuzní pěvcům a papouškům.

  • Giardiasis Importance Giardiasis, a Gastrointestinal Disease Characterized by Acute Or Chronic Diarrhea, Is Caused by Protozoan Parasites in the Genus Giardia
    Giardiasis Importance Giardiasis, a gastrointestinal disease characterized by acute or chronic diarrhea, is caused by protozoan parasites in the genus Giardia. Giardia duodenalis is the major Giardia Enteritis, species found in mammals, and the only species known to cause illness in humans. This Lambliasis, organism is carried in the intestinal tract of many animals and people, with clinical signs Beaver Fever developing in some individuals, but many others remaining asymptomatic. In addition to diarrhea, the presence of G. duodenalis can result in malabsorption; some studies have implicated this organism in decreased growth in some infected children and Last Updated: December 2012 possibly decreased productivity in young livestock. Outbreaks are occasionally reported in people, as the result of mass exposure to contaminated water or food, or direct contact with infected individuals (e.g., in child care centers). People are considered to be the most important reservoir hosts for human giardiasis. The predominant genetic types of G. duodenalis usually differ in humans and domesticated animals (livestock and pets), and zoonotic transmission is currently thought to be of minor significance in causing human illness. Nevertheless, there is evidence that certain isolates may sometimes be shared, and some genetic types of G. duodenalis (assemblages A and B) should be considered potentially zoonotic. Etiology The protozoan genus Giardia (Family Giardiidae, order Giardiida) contains at least six species that infect animals and/or humans. In most mammals, giardiasis is caused by Giardia duodenalis, which is also called G. intestinalis. Both names are in current use, although the validity of the name G. intestinalis depends on the interpretation of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

  • The Tarsometatarsus of the Middle Eocene Loon Colymbiculus Udovichenkoi
    – 17 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) The tarsometatarsus of the Middle Eocene loon Colymbiculus udovichenkoi GERALD MAYR1, LEONID GOROBETS2 & EVGENIJ ZVONOK3 1 Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany; E-mail: [email protected] 2 Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev, Dept. of Ecology and Environmental Protection, Kiev, Ukraine 3 Institute of Geological Sciences of NAS of Ukraine, Branch of Paleontology and Stratigraphy, Kiev, Ukraine Abstract — We describe the previously unknown tarsometatarsus of the earliest unambiguously identified loon, Colymbiculus udovichenkoi, from the Middle Eocene of the Ukraine. Except for being more elongate and apart from details of the hypotarsus morphology, the bone resembles the tarsometatarsus of the Early Miocene Colym- boides minutus. We consider the hypotarsus morphology of Colymbiculus to be plesiomorphic for Gaviiformes. Colymboides and crown group Gaviiformes are each characterized by an autapomorphic hypotarsus morphology, which precludes the former from being directly ancestral to the latter. The similarities shared by C. udovichenkoi and C. minutus, including their small size, are likely to be plesiomorphic for Gaviiformes. Although the disap- pearance of small stem group Gaviiformes may be related to the retreat of loons to cold Northern latitudes, more data are needed to firmly establish this hypothesis. We finally note that early Paleogene stem group Gaviiformes markedly differ from putative Late Cretaceous loons, whose identification needs to be verified by further fossil specimens. Key words: Colymbiculus, Colymboides, fossil birds, Gaviiformes, Eocene, Lutetian, Ukraine Introduction 1982 from the Early Miocene of the Czech Republic (ŠVEC 1982), the earliest stem line- Loons (Gaviiformes) have a fairly comprehen- age representative, being distinctly smaller than sive Neogene fossil record (OLSON 1985; MAYR its modern congeners.

Most of the studied birds belong to Passeriformes and Charadriiformes orders. One of the studied species of birds (Larus armenicus) is an endemic. The taxonomy and host-specificity of nematodes reported in original papers are discussed with a regard to current knowledge about this point. In total, 52 nematode species parasitizing birds in Armenia are reported. Most of the reported species of nematodes are quite common in birds outside of Armenia. One species (Desmidocercella incognita from great cormorant) was first identified in Armenia.

  • Proceedings of the United States National Museum
    — THE ADAPTIVE MODIFICATIONS AND THE TAXONOMIC VALUE OF THE TONGUE IN BIRDS By Leon L. Gardner, Of the United States Army Medical Corps Since the work of Lucas 1 there has been little systematic investiga- tion on the tongues of birds, and with the exception of an occasional description the subject has been largely neglected. It is in the hope of reopening interest in the subject that this paper is written. As is well known the tongue is an exceptionally variable organ in the Class Aves, as is to be expected from the fact that it is so inti- mately related with the birds' most important problem, that of obtaining food. For this function it must serve as a probe or spear (woodpeckers and nuthatches), a sieve (ducks), a capillary tube (sunbirds and hummers), a brush (Trichoglossidae), a rasp (vul- tures, hawks, and owls), as a barbed organ to hold slippery prey (penguins), as a finger (parrots and sparrows), and perhaps as a tactile organ in long-billed birds, such as sandpipers, herons, and the like. The material upon which this paper is based is the very extensive alcoholic collection of birds in the United States National Museum, Washington, D. C, for the use of which and for his abundant aid in numberless ways I am very much indebted to Dr. Charles W. Richmond, associate curator of the Division of Birds. To Dr. Alexander Wetmore, assistant secretary in charge of the United States National Museum, I wish to express my thanks for his kind assistance in reviewing the paper and for his help in its preparation.

Saifur Rahman1, and Md. Shamsuzzoha Bayzid1,* 1Department of Computer Science and Engineering Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology Dhaka-1205, Bangladesh yThese authors contributed equally to this work *Corresponding author: shams [email protected] Abstract Motivation: Species tree estimation from genes sampled from throughout the whole genome is complicated due to the gene tree-species tree discordance. Incom- plete lineage sorting (ILS) is one of the most frequent causes for this discordance, where alleles can coexist in populations for periods that may span several speciation events. Quartet-based summary methods for estimating species trees from a collec- tion of gene trees are becoming popular due to their high accuracy and statistical guarantee under ILS. Generating quartets with appropriate weights, where weights correspond to the relative importance of quartets, and subsequently amalgamating the weighted quartets to infer a single coherent species tree allows for a statistically consistent way of estimating species trees. However, handling weighted quartets is challenging. Results: We propose wQFM, a highly accurate method for species tree es- timation from multi-locus data, by extending the quartet FM (QFM) algorithm to a weighted setting.

Meanwhile, systems for identifying and integrating the novel products of phylogenomic inference – such as newly supported clade concepts – have not kept pace. However, the ability to verbalize both node concept congruence and conflict across multiple, (in effect) simultaneously endorsed phylogenomic hypotheses, is a critical prerequisite for building synthetic data environments for biological systematics, thereby also benefitting other domains impacted by these (conflicting) inferences.
