Thus, helminth communities from red-leggedpartridgepopulations with high density exhibited a structure nearer to nestedness than helminth communities from partridge populations with low density.From theCambridge English Corpus
In agreement with these hypotheses, our results suggest that an increase inpartridgepopulation density amplified the positive interassemblage relationship between intensity and prevalence.From theCambridge English Corpus
Six were given an identical oral dose of the embryonated egg solution as that given to the grey partridges and 6 the saline solution only.From theCambridge English Corpus
This relation may suggest the possibility of a sampling bias due to the method used to capture partridges.From theCambridge English Corpus
Increases in thepartridgepopulation abundance index and the prevalence and mean intensity of infection were associated with increases in helminth community nestedness.From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, although changes in colonization processes associated withpartridgedensity may cause variations in nestedness, this does not preclude other effects of parasite habitat heterogeneity.From theCambridge English Corpus
The partridges were dissected and the digestive tract, lungs and liver were examined for helminths.From theCambridge English Corpus
This is the first detailed description of an outbreak of avian pox in wild partridges.From theCambridge English Corpus
Means and standard errors are shown for 6 control (#) versus 8 experimental partridges ($), and 6 control (#) versus 6 experimental ($) pheasants.From theCambridge English Corpus
Thepartridgepopulation abundance index was directly correlated with the prevalence and mean intensity of infection but not with component community species richness.From theCambridge English Corpus
This may on the one hand have reduced the removal of diseased partridges and thus have led to increased transmission.From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition, thepartridgepopulation abundance index was also correlated in the same way.From theCambridge English Corpus
Means and standard errors are shown for 6 control versus 8 experimental partridges, and 6 control versus 6 experimental pheasants.From theCambridge English Corpus
No studies of the immune system in challenged grey partridges have, however, been undertaken.From theCambridge English Corpus
Red-legged partridges breed during the spring, and the young birds reach adult size by the start of the open hunting season.From theCambridge English Corpus
