Hastings Natural History Reservation

18 Jul, 05 AM - 22 Jul, 08 AM

There are several corvoid species in New Guinea which are known to be fully resistant to homobatrachotoxin (hBTX). These resistant birds are not each others closest reletives and in fact phylogenetic analyses show several North American species to be closely related to some of these toxic birds. I will be collecting a few birds from each of these species in order to determine if they are similarly resistant to hBTX. Species to be targeted are Western Scrub-Jay, Steller's Jay, Hutton's Vireo, Yellow Rumped Warbler. I have discussed my plans with Walt Koenig.
