Microscopic Feather Analysis of Plovers by Yazmin Gomez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Variation in microscopic characters of plumulaceous barbs of six species of Charadrius was studied to quantify characters and test differences among taxa. Pluvialis squaturola was used for intergeneric comparisons. Intraspecific variation in feathers from the sternopectoral tract of C. vociferus was examined to define character parameters and to determine within-vane variation and vane symmetry. A significant difference was observed among the barbs of four regions within each vane of the same feather,
