Developmental allometry of pulmonary structure and function in the altricial Australian pelican Pelecanus conspicillatus.
Quantitative methods have been used to correlate maximal oxygen uptake with lung development in Australian pelicans. These birds produce the largest altricial neonates and become some of the largest birds capable of flight. During post-hatching growth to adults, body mass increases by two orders of magnitude (from 88 g to 8.8 kg). Oxygen consumption rates were measured at rest and during exposu...
متن کاملRespiration and energetics of embryonic development in a large altricial bird, the Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus).
We examined whether the previously reported low cost of embryonic development in pelicans could be attributed to a more efficient conversion of egg energy to hatchling tissues as a result of high initial egg water content, low embryonic metabolic rate and growth later in incubation than in more precocious species. We therefore determined egg and hatchling composition and the development of embr...
متن کاملThe first recording of Piagetiella titan (Menoponidae: Mallophaga) on a white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus, Linneaus) in Turkey.
During the examination of a wounded white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) brought to the clinic of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Selcuk University, lice infestation of the oral cavity was observed and 26 lice were collected. The lice were identified as Piagetiella titan during microscopical examination. No other report of this particular subject in Turkey was found. Therefore, this original o...
متن کاملA Pelican Tarsometatarsus (Aves: Pelecanidae) from the Latest Pliocene Siwaliks of India
We report a new fossil specimen of a pelican from the Tatrot Formation of the Siwalik Hills, India. It likely represents Pelecanus sivalensis Davies, 1880, the smaller of the two previously published species from the Siwalik Group stratigraphic sequence. This complete tarsometatarsus is the first fossil bone of a pelican collected in India for over 100 years. It is from the latest Pliocene (∼2....
متن کاملAn Ethogram to Quantify Operating Room Behavior.
BACKGROUND The operating room (OR) is a highly social and hierarchical setting where interprofessional team members must work interdependently under pressure. Due primarily to methodological challenges, the social and behavioral sciences have had trouble offering insight into OR dynamics. PURPOSE We adopted a method from the field of ethology for observing and quantifying the interpersonal in...
