Abstract

A new species of syringophilid mites, Mironovia lagopus sp. nov. (Acari: Syringophilidae) is described from feather quills of the rock ptarigman Lagopus muta (Montin) (Phasianidae) from Iceland. Females of this new species differ from the closely related Mironovia rouloul Skoracki and Sikora by setae d2, which are subequal or 1.1-1.2 times shorter than setae e2 (vs. d2 1.4-1.5 times longer than e2 in Mironovia rouloul) and by setae ag1, which are 1.3-1.5 times shorter than ag2 (vs. ag1 1.7-1.8 times shorter than ag2). The postembryonic stages of this new species are figured and described in details. In ontogeny of Mironovia spp., the observed pattern of setal appearance is not different from the pattern in other galliform-associated genera such as Syringophilus and Colinophilus, with exception for tarsal setae p'I, II which are absent in protonymphs. The key to all four species of the genus Mironovia is also provided.

Article Genetics & Heredity

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta)

Theodore E. Squires, Patrik Rodin-Morch, Giulio Formenti, Alan Tracey, Linelle Abueg, Nadolina Brajuka, Erich Jarvis, Eva C. Halapi, Pall Melsted, Jacob Hoglund, Kristinn Petur Magnusson

Summary: The Rock Ptarmigan, a cold-adapted game bird, has a high-quality reference genome and mitogenome assembled from PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing. The genome size is 1.03 Gb with an average gene length of 33,605 bp and 16,078 protein-coding genes. This new reference genome will enhance our understanding of the Rock Ptarmigan's evolutionary history, vulnerability to climate change, and serve as a benchmark for related species.

NATAL DISPERSAL AND SURVIVAL OF JUVENILE ROCK PTARMIGAN LAGOPUS MUTA IN THE FRENCH ALPS AND PYRENEES

Claude Novoa, Jean Resseguier, Bertrand Muffat-Joly, Josep Blanch Casadesus, Marc Arvin-Berod, Jordi Gracia Moya, Jean-Francois Desmet

Summary: The study found that natal dispersal of juvenile Rock Ptarmigan in the French Alps and Pyrenees mainly occurred in two phases, autumn and spring, with female juveniles dispersing further than males in autumn but the difference decreasing in spring. The overall survival rate of juvenile birds over a ten-month period was 0.636, and long-distance dispersal tended to reduce survival during the first breeding attempt.

Seasonal changes in plumage density, plumage mass, and feather morphology in the world's northernmost land bird, the Svalbard Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea)

Andreas Nord, Vidar Holje, Benjamin Judik, Lars P. Folkow, Peter L. Pap

Summary: The Svalbard Rock Ptarmigan is the only terrestrial bird that resides in the high Arctic throughout the year. It adapts to the harsh winter environment through a conspicuous moult, resulting in a higher plumage density, particularly on the head and feet. The seasonal changes in plumage primarily serve to resist physical wear and wind. First-winter birds have lower plumage mass density, explaining their higher heat loss rates compared to adults.

The Influence of Snow Properties on Speed and Gait Choice in the Svalbard Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea)

A. Marmol-Guijarro, R. Nudds, L. Folkow, W. Sellers, P. Falkingham, J. Codd

Summary: The study found that snow supportiveness and footprint depth poorly predicted the speed and stride length of Svalbard rock ptarmigans. The birds seldom sank beyond a certain depth, suggesting they can manage the costs associated with shallower depths.

Does posture explain the kinematic differences in a grounded running gait between male and female Svalbard rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea) moving on snow?

Andres Marmol-Guijarro, Robert Nudds, Lars Folkow, John Lees, Jonathan Codd

Summary: The study compared locomotor parameters of female Svalbard rock ptarmigan moving in the wild on snow with previous treadmill-based research. The kinematics of locomotion were found to be largely consistent between field and laboratory, with the only significant difference being a prolonged swing phase at very slow walking speeds. Differences between the sexes were attributed to body size, while variation in grounded running kinematics might be linked to posture differences between female and male ptarmigan.

A new species, Stibarokris nielseni sp. nov. (Acariformes: Syringophilidae) parasitizing Puffinus puffinus (Procellariiformes: Procellariidae) in Iceland, with notes on host associations of the genus Stibarokris

Maciej Skoracki, Bozena Sikora, Mateusz Zmudzinski, Karl Skirnisson, Martin Hromada

Summary: A new species of quill mite, Stibarokris nielseni, was discovered on Manx Shearwater, marking the third record of this mite species in Iceland and the first one outside of Galliformes. The new species can be distinguished from others in the same genus by the distinctive shape and size of the tarsal claws of legs III and IV, as well as the placement of the hysteronotal teeth. The distribution pattern of this genus of quill mites on birds aligns strongly with the avian lineages grouped in the clade Feraequornithes. However, quill mites have not been confirmed on representatives of Sphenisciformes, which could be due to their specialized way of life or insufficient sampling efforts. Additionally, the presence of Stibarokris on flamingos (Phoenicopteriformes), which are distant from Feraequornithes, is most likely the result of successful host switching.

New records of the feather mite Pterolichus obtusus Robin, 1877 (Acariformes: Astigmata: Pterolichidae) parasitizing chickens Gallus gallus domesticus (L.) (Galliformes: Phasianidae) in Brazil

Jose Dantas Araujo Lacerda, Henri Castro Pacheco, Magno Chagas Souza, Nasly Cristianna Goncalves Xavier, Wilton Pires da Cruz, Fabio Akashi Hernandes

Summary: New records of the feather mite Pterolichus obtusus have been reported in rustic chickens in Brazil after a 45-year gap, marking its first appearance in the northern region of the country. Brazil's role as a major chicken meat producer and exporter underscores the significance of these findings in informing animal health programs, policies, and research funding decisions to address the impact of P. obtusus on domestic and wild fowl populations.
