Abstract
Methods: Using a portable blood analyzer, we assayed blood samples from Black-crested Titmouse (Baeolophus atricristatus) and Tufted Titmouse (B. bicolor) individuals along a longitudinal transect that included the contact zone. Ecologically, this transect varies from higher elevation semi-arid regions on the Balcones Escarpment (and west across the Edwards Plateau) to lower elevation mesic forests east of the escarpment.
期刊介绍:
The Open Ornithology Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues in all important areas of ornithology including avian behaviour,genetics, phylogeography , conservation, demography, ecology, evolution, and morphology. The Open Ornithology Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality papers rapidly and making them freely available to researchers worldwide.
