Multidirectional chromosome painting substantiates the occurrence of extensive genomic reshuffling within Accipitriformes. [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2015 BACKGROUND: Previous cross-species painting studies with probes from chicken (Gallus gallus) chromosomes 1-10 and a paint pool of nineteen microchromosomes have revealed that the drastic karyotypic reorganization in Accipitridae is due to extensive ...

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

Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles. [PDF]
J AnatThis report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa. [PDF]
Integr ZoolCaptive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the
