Association of reproductive traits with captive‐ versus wild‐sourced birds in trade

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The wildlife trade is a billion‐dollar global business, involving millions of people, thousands of species, and hundreds of millions of individual organisms. Unravelling whether trade targets reproductively distinct species and whether this preference varies between captive‐ and wild‐sourced species is a crucial question.

Emerging and well‐characterized chlamydial infections detected in a wide range of wild Australian birds

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e3154-e3170, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Birds can act as successful long‐distance vectors and reservoirs for numerous zoonotic bacterial, parasitic and viral pathogens, which can be a concern given the interconnectedness of animal, human and environmental health. Examples of such avian pathogens are members of the genus Chlamydia. Presently, there is a lack of research investigating

The multifaceted vocal duets of white‐browed sparrow weavers are based on complex duetting rules

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2021., 2021
In some bird species, mated pairs sing duet songs for pair bond maintenance and joint territory defense. Duet partners often follow specific duetting rules, such as answering rules and duet codes, to construct their duet songs. Previous studies mainly concentrated on species that repeat particular phrase pairings during duetting.

Endoparasite Infections in Pet and Zoo Birds in Italy

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Faecal samples were individually collected from pet (n = 63) and zoo (n = 83) birds representing 14 orders and 63 species. All the samples were examined by faecal flotation technique. In a subgroup of samples (n = 75), molecular assays were also used to detect Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia duodenalis cysts.
