1. Homoiothermy allows the mammalian and avian body to maintain a constant high level of activity that does not depend upon the temperature of the environment; and it allows the colonization of environments that would be otherwise too severe to inhabit.
2. After mating these viruses, they pull out the avian haemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens using antisera previously produced by goats following exposure to the antigens.
3. The five categories of incisor and molar digestion are summarized for the avian predators in Table 3.14.
4. The evolution of flight led to generally light and fragile skeletons, and it is perhaps not surprising that avian fossils are so uncommon, and when found, so often fragmentary.
5. Some degree of collaboration in the Malimbus was predictable from comparative studies of other avian families where collaboration in incubation and rearing associate with K conditions.
6. It was concluded that mammalian carnivores produce greater degrees of breakage generally than do avian raptors, and there are sufficient differences between them to enable identification of the predator on breakage pattern alone at least to family level.
7. This degree of modification comes about partly because of the greater degree of digestion in mammalian carnivores compared with the regurgitated remains from avian predators, and partly because of their use of teeth to break up prey before digestion.
8. The overall search for new antimalarial agents involved the screening of some 16,000 compounds, most of them for both suppressive and prophylactic activity against several avian malarias, plus a thorough study of the toxicology and pharmacology of many of the preparations in lower animals.
9. There is practically no overlap between avian and mammalian predators, so that a high degree of tooth breakage strongly indicates carnivore action (but see below).
10. To begin with, it must be remembered that in avian predators, all digestion takes place in the stomach, whereas in mammalian carnivores digestion continues in the intestines as the food passes through the system.
11. I have this neatly weeping tree in my own garden, its serried mass of pink flowers in spring followed in autumn by a profusion of dark red berries, and the avian population has expressed its approval.
12. The mammalian carnivore assemblages all show considerable loss of distal elements, usually as great as or greater than any of the avian predators (Table 3.2).
13. The work previously published by Andrews Evans (1983) on mammalian carnivores is expanded here for comparison with the avian predators, and the conclusion of these authors that small mammalian carnivores are not significant contributors to the fossil record is sustained by the more detailed work.
