Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Breeding biology of Neotropical Accipitriformes: current knowledge and research priorities

Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 2018
Despite the key role that knowledge on breeding biology of Accipitriformes plays in their management and conservation, survey of the state-of-the-art and of information gaps spanning the entire Neotropics has not been done since 1995. We provide an updated classification of current knowledge about breeding biology of Neotropical Accipitridae and define

Spatial Patterns of Diversity in Forest Birds of Peninsular India

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
In this study, we analyzed patterns of diversity and endemism of forest birds across peninsular India, highlighting the influence of climate and topography. Our study shows that the southern Western Ghats are a major evolutionary hotspot for forest birds in peninsular India, and topographically complex and climatically stable areas support the highest ...

Host Diet Preference Drives Diversity and Composition of Gut Microbiota in Captive Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We have quantified gut microbiota composition of 36 bird species representing 15 orders to analyse determinants of diversity and variability patterns among host species. We found that host phylogeny only had limited influence on GM diversity and composition.

Validating Airborne eDNA Using Manual Surveys, Acoustic Monitoring and Camera Traps to Detect Birds and Mammals in an Agroforestry Setting

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
In this study, we provide the first comparison of airborne eDNA with observer‐based surveys and passive acoustic monitoring, alongside camera traps, to monitor birds and mammals in a Dutch agroforestry system. Airborne eDNA showed the highest potential species diversity, detected many unique species–including invasive mammals–and complemented ...

From Pigeons to Raptors: Avifauna Across the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Manot Cave, Israel

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 526-541, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Avian exploitation during the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) is frequently interpreted as a marker of socioeconomic intensification across Europe and the Levant. However, the specific character of avian exploitation in the Levant has remained unexplored due to the scarcity of detailed zooarchaeological analyses. This study addresses this gap by

Seasonal Exploitation of Migratory Waterfowl at Natufian el‐Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 555-570, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Increased avian exploitation is a hallmark of broad‐spectrum subsistence strategies in the Levantine Natufian culture (15,000–11,700 cal. BP). However, detailed publications of bird remains from the Natufian are scant, especially regarding the Early Natufian, and the available evidence shows high inter‐site variability that begs explanation ...

Molecular Prevalence and Haematological Assessments of Avian Malaria in Wild Raptors of Thailand

Birds
Raptors (Accipitriformes, Falconiformes and Strigiformes) are important for ecological niches as bioindicators and an apex predator; however, their global populations have continuously decreased due to human activities, habitat loss and contagious ...

Taxonomic status of Cyathostoma nematodes (Nematoda: Syngaminae) parasitizing respiratory tracts of birds of prey and owls in Europe and North America: how many species are there?

Helminthologia, 2016
So far, the identity of Cyathostoma (Hovorkonema) nematodes collected from respiratory tracts of birds of prey (Accipitriformes, Falconiformes) and owls (Strigiformes) in Europe and North America is extremely inconsistent.
