Fecha de publicación: | 2024 | Publicación seriada: | Veterinary Sciences | Resumen: | Bird mortality resulting from collisions and electrocutions with overhead lines (such as power lines and phone lines) has contributed to the decline of various avian species globally. Specifically, overhead line collisions pose a significant threat to the conservation of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuertaventurae), an endangered subspecies endemic to the Canary Islands. This study focuses on postmortem findings from Canarian houbara bustards that collided with overhead lines. We describe the necropsy findings of Canarian houbara bustards found dead near overhead lines, and we investigated, using a forensic approach, whether the animal survived the initial trauma. The mortality of birds resulting from collisions and electrocutions with overhead lines, such as power lines and phone lines, among others, has been implicated in the decline of various avian species globally. Specifically, overhead line collisions pose a significant threat to the conservation of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuertaventurae), an endangered subspecies endemic to the Canary Islands. This study centers on the postmortem findings of Canarian houbara bustards that have collided with overhead lines, providing insights into the post-collision outcomes for these birds. A complete standardized necropsy of nine Canarian houbara bustards revealed that trauma was the cause of death in all cases. The most notable gross lesions associated with trauma included bone fractures, soft tissue lacerations, hemorrhages, luxations, and hemocoelom. The inguinal area, chest, and wings were the body regions more frequently affected. A histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and entomology analysis confirmed that numerous birds survived the initial trauma. We concluded that when a houbara bustard collides with an overhead line, it frequently survives the initial trauma, with a survival time ranging from minutes to hours. The histopathology, immunohistochemistry, or entomologic analysis may be helpful to approximate the timing interval between trauma and death. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/132758 | ISSN: | 2306-7381 | DOI: | 10.3390/vetsci11070287 | Fuente: | Veterinary Sciences [eISSN 2306-7381], v. 11 (7), (Julio 2024) |
