Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...

Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Philippine Eagles (<i>Pithecophaga jefferyi</i> Ogilvie-Grant 1896) From the Greater Mindanao Faunal Region. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMitogenome sequencing is a promising alternative for the genetic studies of animals. In this work, we examined the genetic diversity of the critically endangered and endemic Philippine eagles and their evolutionary relationship to other birds of prey.

Host-feeding preferences of Culex pipiens and its potential significance for flavivirus transmission in the Camargue, France. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolWe identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

The evolution of an "owl-like" auditory system in harriers: Anatomical evidence. [PDF]
J AnatHarriers hunt relying on sound, with an accuracy to localize sound sources comparable with owls. To assess whether they have owl‐like auditory specializations, we analyzed brain and skull structures using histology and microCT scans. Harriers possess an enlarged external acoustic meatus and significantly expanded auditory brainstem nuclei, up to 12 ...
