Генетика обыкновенного жулана (L.collurio)


2016-04-14| Askar Isabekov

Уважаемые друзья. Получил письмо с просьбой помочь с материалами (перьями, слюной, кровью) по обыкновенному жулану для диссертации. Ниже само письмо и ссылка на обращение. Если есть желание помочь человеку в исследованиях, то, пожалуйста, пишите ему на нижеследующий адрес:

Liviu Parau, parau@uni-heidelberg.de

А это письмо:

Dear Mr. Askar Isabekov,

My name is Liviu Parau. I am a 1st year PhD student (and bird ringer) at Heidelberg University (Germany) and I study population genetics of the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio.

To offer more details: during my PhD project I will analyze population structure and phylogeography of the Red-backed Shrike. I only have samples from a few European populations and I therefore need feathers, buccal swabs (saliva) or blood from breeding birds from the entire breeding range.

I contact you to ask if it is possible to obtain samples from breeding and/or migrating Red-backed shrikes in Kazakhstan. More information can be found in the pdf attached.

Please let me know if you can help/ you need more details or I should contact someone else.

Thank you in advance and all the best,
Liviu

Аскар, могу помочь безвозмездно, ни английский ни немецкий , не знаю.

Попробуй написать на русском. Скорее всего, нужно будет просто отправить материал, то есть, просто получить от него адрес, а потом подтверждение получения. Может быть, имеет смысл даже как-то воспользоваться случаем и отправить образцы karelini, чтобы подтвердить или опровергнуть версию гибридного (phoenicuroides x collurio) происхождения этого таксона. Вобщем, напиши, а дальше посмотрим.

A rare passage species in Kazakhstan. The most recent photographic record in the country was made on 21 April 2022 in the Suzak District of Turkestan Region (Martin Grienenberger; see the website gallery). In Mangystau Region, only two records supported by photographic evidence are known from recent decades of the 21st century: 20–24 May 2009 in the Kenderli area (Neve et al., 2010) and the present observation.

The first photo recording of a Northern Bullfinch in Almaty on the website is a rare sighting for a region where they were previously observed during wintering in the mid-20th century and have now become only occasionally encountered.
