Extensive polymorphism and geographical variation at a positively selected MHC class II B gene of the lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni).
Understanding the selective forces that shape genetic variation in natural populations remains a high priority in evolutionary biology. Genes at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have become excellent models for the investigation of adaptive variation and natural selection because of their crucial role in fighting off pathogens. Here we present one of the first data sets examining patt...
متن کاملCharacteristics of loci and individuals are associated with germline microsatellite mutation rates in lesser kestrels (Falco naumanni).
Although microsatellites are one of the most popular tools in genetic studies, their mutational dynamics and evolution remain unclear. Here, we apply extensive pedigree genotyping to identify and analyze the patterns and factors associated with de novo germline mutations across nine microsatellite loci in a wild population of lesser kestrels (Falco naumanni). A total of 10 germline mutations ev...
متن کاملIs nest-site availability limiting Lesser Kestrel populations? A multiple scale approach
The Lesser Kestrel, a colonial migratory falcon, is one of the most endangered birds in Europe and, due to a sharp population decline across much of the breeding range, is globally threatened. The reasons for this decline are unclear, but reduced nest-site availability might be a major cause. To test this hypothesis we looked at nest-site availability within Portuguese colonies in rural and urb...
متن کاملConflicts between Lesser Kestrel Conservation and European Agricultural Policies as Identified by Habitat Use Analyses
European pseudo-steppes have suffered from extensive changes in agricultural practices during the past decades with the disappearance of field margins and fallow systems and the increase of biocide treatments. The negative effect on wildlife has led to the adoption by the European Union of policies more compatible with environmental conservation, but decisions about optimal land use are difficu...
متن کاملمدلسازی پراکنش دلیجه کوچک (Falco naumanni) در استان گلستان
وجود اطلاعات مربوط به پراکنش جغرافیایی و انتخاب زیستگاه، هسته مرکزی حفاظت و مدیریت گونه‌های تهدیدشده است. دلیجه کوچک، نوعی شاهین مهاجر و طبق فهرست سرخ IUCN آسیب‌پذیر است که در استان گلستان پراکنش دارد. مدل‌سازی ماوای بوم‌شناختی با استفاده از روش MaxEnt جهت پیش‌بینی صحیح پراکنش جغرافیایی این گونه در استان گلستان انجام شد. داده‌های حضور در استان جمع‌آوری و به‌صورت مختصات جغرافیایی وارد خوارزمیک آ...
