Birds
Illegal wildlife trade exerts severe pressure on wild parrot populations, and confiscated parrots often end up in rescue centers where they are rehabilitated for release. However, parrots kept in captivity often develop potentially maladaptive behaviors,

Flavobacterium oreochromis From Farmed Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum): Insights Into Genetic, Phenotypic and Pathogenic Diversity

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flavobacterium spp. are the etiological agents of columnaris disease. Although there is evidence that columnaris poses a significant threat to the farming of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), there remains a large gap in understanding the genetic and phenotypic diversities of columnaris‐causing bacteria (CCB).

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

An updated classification of growth forms in non‐geniculate coralline algae (Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The current challenge of defining growth forms in the non‐geniculate coralline red algae was addressed. Since the 19th century, those who have worked on this large and globally distributed group of algae have tried to summarize and systematically describe their growth forms. This effort resulted in a plethora of terms, which could sometimes be

Adapting the growth‐form concept to geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) are a diverse group of calcifying macroalgae, loosely united by flexible upright axes formed by alternating calcified (intergenicula) and uncalcified segments (genicula), a trait that has independently arisen several times.
