Diversity, Species Richness, and Community Composition of Wetland Birds in the Lowlands of Western Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Wetlands serve as crucial habitats for diverse bird species, playing a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem. Geographical location, climate, hydrology, and vegetation composition of wetlands determine the diversity of birds. This study investigated species richness, seasonal diversity, and composition of wetland birds in three prominent ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

An overview of the oldest and most comprehensive avifauna of the early Eocene British London Clay
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Early Eocene birds from the British London Clay have been known for two centuries, but a comprehensive understanding of the avifauna of the London Clay Formation is still in its infancy. In the present study, the bird assemblage of the Walton Member is reviewed, which represents one of the oldest subdivisions of the formation.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Wetland‐dependent birds play crucial ecological roles and are highly influenced by local environmental factors such as depth, salinity and microhabitat availability. Although the importance of these environments for biodiversity is already recognized, studies on the spatiotemporal dynamics of these assemblages in Maranhão remain scarce.
