Effects of wind farms on raptors: A systematic review of the current knowledge and the potential solutions to mitigate negative impacts

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 334-352, June 2025.
Our review of 195 studies highlights the consensus on raptors’ avoidance behavior and population decline post‐wind farm installation, emphasizing the significant risks posed by mountaintop wind farms to soaring raptors. Adult raptor mortality, particularly among endangered species, and the elevated collision risks faced by young individuals underscore ...

Trends in Richness and Occupancy of Ugandan Birds and Relation to Local Tree Cover

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Changes in vegetation cover are occurring across sub‐Saharan Africa and can have substantial effects on ecological communities, but limited data make understanding status and trends difficult for many taxa. We surveyed birds for several decades across Uganda using point counts.

Multidirectional chromosome painting substantiates the occurrence of extensive genomic reshuffling within Accipitriformes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2015
AbstractBackgroundPrevious 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 synteny disruptions and associations.

Additional file 5 of Avian haemosporidian parasites of accipitriform raptors

, 2022
Additional file 5: Fig. S4. Bayesian inference tree of CytB lineages (474 bp) belonging to the genus Haemoproteus. Bayesian posterior probabilities and Maximum likelihood bootstrap values are indicated at most nodes. The sequences of the H. elani clade were used to root the tree.

Molecular screening for Sarcocystidae in muscles of wild birds from Brazil suggests a plethora of intermediate hosts for Sarcocystis falcatula

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

Is What Comes out the Same as What Goes in? A Preliminary Investigation of the Isotopic Impacts of Digestion by Red‐Tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and Eurasian Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Isotope analysis of predator feces and consumed prey remains can be used to non‐invasively track diet and reconstruct past environment and climate conditions. However, one must account for the isotopic difference between diet and feces, as well as the possible influence of digestion on consumed prey tissues.

Filling the distribution gaps of two species of Accipiter Brisson, 1760 (Aves, Accipitriformes) in northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Check List, 2019
We present new records of Gray-bellied Hawk, Accipiter poliogaster (Temminck, 1824), and Rufous-thighed Hawk, A. striatus erythronemius (Kaup, 1850), from northeastern Brazil and review the occurrence of these species in this region. While A.

Same‐sex partnerships in birds: a review of the current literature and a call for more data

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Same‐sex sexual behaviour (SSB), encompassing actions such as courtship, pair bonding, and parenting between individuals of the same sex, has been observed across numerous taxa, including birds. Yet despite its widespread occurrence, SSB remains poorly understood, often dismissed as maladaptive or the result of errors in sex discrimination.

Functional anatomy of the wing muscles of the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) using dissection and diceCT

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 685-695, May 2025.
Bats are unique among mammals for evolving powered flight. However, very little data are available on the muscle properties and architecture of bat flight muscles. Using diceCT and gross dissection, we show that the Egyptian fruit bat pectoralis is optimised for power, and the elbow flexion/extension group is optimised for high forces with large PCSA ...
