The Effect of Genetic Introgression on Phenotype in Dicrurus Drongos Across a Climatic Gradient in Sri Lanka
(2023-09)
Hybridization or introgression enables species to mix traits, allowing horizontal gene
flow and varying parental alleles and phenotypes. Belihuloya, located in the intermediate
zone is a transitioning point between dry ...
Hematology and Blood Parasites in Avian Communities Along an Altitudinal Gradient of One Kilometer in the Sub-Montane Zone of Sri Lanka
(2023-09)
Parasites thrive by consuming host resources, causing a decline in host fitness. This burden drives host evolution, exerting selective pressure on both. The main objective of the
study was to investigate parasitic profile ...

The Taxonomic History, Geographical Distribution and Status of Sri Lankan Jackal
(2023-09)
The Eurasian Golden Jackal (Canis aureus) is found in Europe and Asia. It is the only wild
dog species found in Sri Lanka. The taxonomic status of the Sri Lankan jackal, however,
is ambiguous, and its distribution is ...
Nest Site Selection, Cavity Characteristics, and Cavity Use of Dinopium Flamebacks in Sri Lanka
(2023-09)
Ecology of Dinopium flamebacks (woodpeckers) in Sri Lanka is not fully comprehended.
This study investigates the nest site selection, cavity characteristics, and cavity-use by
secondary cavity users of Dinopium flamebacks ...
Morphological, Vocal, and Genetic Characterization of Motacilla flava – tschutschensis Allospecies Complex in Sri Lanka
(2023-09)
Yellow wagtail complex was long considered a single species (Motacilla flava). Recent
phylogenetic studies however, split this species into two; the Western Yellow Wagtail
(Motacilla flava) and the Eastern Yellow Wagtail ...
Responses of Avian Communities to a Submontane Elevational Gradient
(2023-09)
Biogeography comprises the study of patterns of the geographic distribution of organisms
and the factors which govern those patterns. The study was implemented from the
Samanalawewa river basin (480 m Mean Sea Level ...
