International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 The genus Sarcocystis and the species Toxoplasma gondii are the most prevalent sarcocystid organisms found in birds. Molecular phylogenies based on the first internal transcribed spacer of the ribosomal coding DNA (ITS1) have been widely used to identify

Distribution and identification of the White-collared Kite Leptodon forbesi and the juvenile plumages of the Gray-headed Kite Leptodon cayanensis [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020 The genus Leptodon encompasses two Neotropical raptor species. The more widely-distributed Gray-headed Kite (Leptodon cayanensis) occurs in a vast area of Neotropical region, while the White-collared Kite (Leptodon forbesi) is endemic of the Atlantic ...

Phylogeny and new taxonomy of the Booted Eagles (Accipitriformes: Aquilinae)
Zootaxa, 2017 We present a phylogeny of all booted eagles (38 extant and one extinct species) based on analysis of published sequences from seven loci. We find molecular support for five major clades within the booted eagles: Nisaetus (10 species), Spizaetus (4 species), Clanga (3 species), Hieraaetus (6 species) and Aquila (11 species), requiring generic changes ...

The fecal microbiota of wild and captive raptors
Animal Microbiome, 2020 Background The microorganisms populating the gastro-intestinal tract of vertebrates, collectively known as “microbiota”, play an essential role in digestion and are important in regulating the immune response.

Eye Size, Fovea, and Foraging Ecology in Accipitriform Raptors
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2017 Birds with larger eyes are predicted to have higher spatial resolution because of their larger retinal image. Raptors are well known for their acute vision, mediated by their deep central fovea. Because foraging strategies may demand specific visual adaptations, eye size and fovea may differ between species with different foraging ecology.

The Complete Genome Sequences of 31 Species of Hawks (Accipitriformes, Aves). [PDF]
Biodivers GenomesWe present the complete genome sequences of 31 species of hawks. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from wild-caught specimens. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via Genbank.

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study
