Development of Microsatellite Markers for Ex Situ Management of the Harpy Eagle Using Next Generation Sequencing. [PDF]
Zoo BiolABSTRACT The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), one of the largest birds of prey in the world, is threatened with extinction throughout its entire area of occurrence in the Neotropics. While conservation efforts for the wild populations are crucial, it is also important to focus on ex situ conservation actions.

White-headed Vultures Trigonoceps occipitalis show visual field characteristics of hunting raptors [PDF]
, 2017 The visual fields of Aegypiinae vultures have been shown to be adapted primarily to meet two key perceptual challenges of their obligate carrion-feeding behaviour: scanning the ground and preventing the sun’s image falling upon the retina.

The shapes of bird beaks are highly controlled by nondietary factors [PDF]
, 2016 Bird beaks are textbook examples of ecological adaptation to diet, but their shapes are also controlled by genetic and developmental histories. To test the effects of these factors on the avian craniofacial skeleton, we conducted morphometric analyses on
