R Plasmid-Mediated Gentamicin Resistance in Salmonellae Isolated from Turkeys and Their Environment

Gentamicin-resistant salmonellae were isolated from turkey poults, hatching eggs, and litter on three unrelated farms and from a scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) on a fourth farm unrelated to the other three. The isolates were Salmonella arizonae from three of the farms (poults, eggs, scrub jay) and S. thompson (litter) from the fourth farm. The genes responsible for gentamicin resistance were located on the same conjugal plasmid. This plasmid also encoded resistance to kanamycin, streptomycin, ampicillin, and sulfadiazine.

Comparative physiology of the Scrub Jay ( Aphelocoma coerulescens) and the Steller's Jay ( Cyanocitta Stelleri)

1. 1. Minimum daily water requirements, standard metabolic rate, total and respiratory evaporative water loss, and the role of the unfeathered tarsi in the regulation of body temperature in the Scrub Jay ( Aphelocoma coerulescens obscura) and the Steller's Jay ( Cyanocitta stellen frontalis) were compared. 2. 2. When provided with Tenebrio larvae, Scrub Jays were able to maintain a constant body weight in the absence of drinking water whereas the Steller's Jay required 1.1% of body weight per day. 3. 3. Scrub Jays had a much wider thermoneutral zone (12.4–24.0°C) than did Steller's Jays (28.0–31.8°C). There was no significant difference in the standard metabolic rate within the thermoneutral zone or in evaporative water loss rates of the two species. 4. 4. The unfeathered tarsi appear to be important sites of non-evaporative heat loss during activity in both species. The ability to utilize the tarsi as heat dissipators at high ambient temperatures appears best developed in the Scrub Jay. 5. 5. Allopatry between the two species may be maintained by combination of behavioral and physiological differences.

EARLY SURVIVAL OF POLISTES APACHUS (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE) COLONIES IN CALIFORNIA: A FIELD STUDY OF AN INTRODUCED SPECIES

AbstractA local population of P. apachus in California was studied to determine population structure and colony survival during the first 3 months of colony development. Only 24.2% of the colonies survived to the end of July. Bird predation on colonies (60.6%) and loss of foundresses (12.1%) were the main causes of colony failure. Bird attacks occurred approximately 2 weeks prior to the emergence of workers and the scrub jay, Aphelocoma coerulescens, was identified as one of the avain predators. All colonies that survived this initial period persisted until observations were discontinued in late July.

Family status and contributions to breeding by Florida scrub jays

Nestling care by Florida scrub jay Aphelocoma c. coerulescens breeders and helpers is quantified. Breeding males and older male helpers deliver more food than first-year helpers and older female helpers. Breeding males adjust the quantity of food they deliver inversely to that delivered by their helpers. Older female helpers, who make many nest visits without delivering food, attempt to usurp the nest-sitting role of the breeding female. The advantages of group breeding to the breeders seem clear. Pairs with helpers live longer and produce more fledglings. The advantages of being a helper, though obscure, probably include non-altruistic factors such as increased survival and, for males, increased chances of obtaining space for breeding. Food contributions of helpers seem to parallel these opportunities.

The Inheritance of Territory in Group-Breeding Birds

Recent advances in animal socioecology stress the importance of kinship and group living in the evolution of social behavior (see Wilson 1975). Although many animals exhibit a relatively simple social system in which individuals disperse and breed upon reaching maturity, among some higher vertebrate species certain individuals regularly delay breeding beyond normal physiological maturity and live for long periods in extended family groups. Group breeding, in which nonbreeding individuals help care for the young of a breeding pair, is now documented for a great variety of birds (Rowley 1976). Of special interest to evolutionary biologists is the question: Why do certain individuals seem to forfeit their own reproductive efforts to assist others with their breeding? Typical of the group breeders studied to date is close genetic relatedness between the helpers and the young they help raise (Brown 1974, Gaston 1976, Hardy 1976, MacRoberts and MacRoberts 1976, Maynard Smith and Ridpath 1972, Rowley 1965, Woolfenden 1975). Furthermore, the presence of helpers has been shown to increase the number of offspring produced by the resident breeders, who usually are parents of the helpers (Rowley 1965, Woolfenden 1975). Thus, by helping to raise kin, a nonbreeder may increase the representation of its own genes in the population without being a parent (Hamilton 1964, West Eberhardt 1975). This has led to the conclusion that kin selection underlies the evolution of helping behavior (Brown 1974, Wilson 1975). Our preliminary work with Florida scrub jays (Aphelocoma c. coerulescens), plus certain data available for other group-breeding birds, suggests the possibility of additional, more direct benefits to the helpers from delaying breeding and helping. Many group-breeding species studied to date occupy mature, often relict habitats, and show many characteristics of intense K-selection (sensu MacArthur and Wilson 1967; Brown 1974, 1975). Competition for space appears to be paramount among these characteristics. This observation, together with the data presented herein, leads us to hypothesize in this paper that, in certain species, remaining home and helping represents a strategy used by nonbreeders to inherit the space necessary for breeding.

Florida Scrub Jay Helpers at the Nest

Florida Scrub Jay Helpers at the Nest

Histogenesis of atretic ovarian follicles in a seasonally breeding bird.

AbstractHistologic examination of ovaries from a non‐migratory population of scrub jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens) disclosed a marked annual cycle in the incidence of atresia. Atretic follicles became more common as the nesting season progressed and were most abundant immediately after the cessation of breeding. Atresia involved a dissociation of granulosa cells and movement of these cells into the follicle. Subsequently, granulosa cells showed steatogenesis and ultimately disappeared simultaneously with the invasion of the follicle by ex‐thecal gland cells. The data suggest that the diverse histology of avian atretic follicles reflects different stages in the process of atresia rather than multiple origins. Ovarian stromal glands apparently arise both from ex‐thecal gland cells of atretic follicles and stromal connective tissue. A possible secretory role of atretic follicles is considered.

Comments on Types and Taxonomy in the Jay Genus Aphelocoma

During a year’s stay in Europe in 1957-58, I was able to study types and other specimens of the genus Aphelocoma in collections of British and continental museums. These opportunities permitted me to try to clear up some points left unresolved in my revision of that genus (Pitelka, 1951). Of the types examined, two provide information which requires changes in racial taxonomy. These are Cyanocitta superciliosa Strickland 1845, which applies to the Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens), and Garrutus sordidus Swainson 1827, which applies to the Mexican Jay (Aphelocoma ultramarina). For seven more types, Enformation given here supplements that provided in the earlier paper. Details regarding any of these types, such as museum numbers or collecting locality, available in my 1951 paper, are omitted when they are not vital to the discussions in this paper. Page references given here without additional information regarding source pertain, to my 1951 paper. Methods of taking measurements are described in that paper on page 202. Finally, racial taxonomy of Aphelocoma ultramarina and the use of subgenera in the genus Aphelocoma are discussed briefly.
