Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) Science Article 7 abstract The relative importance of the Pleistocene glacial cycles in driving avian speciationremains controversial, partly because species limits in many groups remain poorly understood,and because current taxonomic designations are often based on phenotypic characteristicsof uncertain phylogenetic significance. We use mtDNA sequence data to examinepatterns of genetic variation, sequence […]

Do female Yellow Warblers (Dendroica petechia) incubatewhile in the nest during the laying period?
Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) Science Article 2 abstract Although some passerine species heat their eggs during the brief periods of nest attentiveness early in the laying period (e.g., Haftorn 1981), egg temperature data are not available for Yellow Warblers (Dendroica petechia). As part of a larger study on the effect of Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) […]
Yellow Warbler nests: building materials and cowbirdparasitism
Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) Science Article 4 abstract Nests are traditionally defined as receptacles in which to house eggs and chicks; however, for the Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia), nests may have additional biological significance, especially with respect to Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) parasitism.

Notes on the Yellow Warbler in Surinam.
Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) Science Article 9 abstract The Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) is a common winter visitor in Surinam. According to Zimmer (Amer. Mus.Novit. No. 1428, 1949: 5), only the race aestiva has been taken there, but the race brewsteri probably also occurst here since it has been found in both British and French […]
