Multidirectional Chromosomal Painting in the Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja): Conservation of Breakpoints in Accipitriformes [PDF]

Animals
Diurnal birds of prey (Falconiformes and Accipitriformes) often display karyotypes that diverge markedly from the putative ancestral avian condition (2n = 80), with reduced diploid numbers and fewer microchromosome pairs driven by extensive chromosomal ...

The Role of Vulture (Accipitriformes) Cutaneous Microbiota in Infectious Disease Protection

Microorganisms
Vultures (Accipitriformes), as obligate scavengers, are regularly exposed to a diverse array of pathogens present in decomposing carcasses. Nevertheless, they exhibit a remarkable ability to resist infections, suggesting a crucial role of skin microbiota
