Microsatellite typing of avian clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

, 2011
Aspergillosis is one of the most common causes of death in captive birds. Aspergillosis in birds is mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a ubiquitous and opportunistic saprophyte.

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Methodology of the biological risk classification of animal pathogens in Belgium [PDF]

, 2010
The biological hazards posed by micro-organisms have lead to their categorisation into risk groups and the elaboration of classification lists. Current classification systems rely on criteria defined by the World Health Organization, which cover the ...

Sedimentary Metagenomics Reveal Avian Community Transitions From the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Sexually dichromatic hybrids between two monochromatic duck species, the Chiloé wigeon and the Philippine duck

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Captive bird hybrids can provide important data on certain traits, such as hybrid viability and fertility. In this paper, we describe four hybrids between the Chiloé wigeon (Anas sibilatrix) and the Philippine duck (Anas luzonica).

National assessment of threatened species using sparse data: IUCN Red List classification of Anatidae in Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Classifying the status of threatened species using tools such as the IUCN Red List is a critical step for identifying at-risk species, and for conservation planning at global and sub-global levels.

Antidiabetic Potential of Ligands from NEIST_PMIB_06, Bacterium Associated With Hawaijar (Fermented Soy Food): Insight from in Vitro and in Silico Studies

ChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, a bacterium (NEIST_PMIB_06) was isolated from Hawaijar, a fermented soy food from Manipur, Northeast India. The bacterium was inoculated and incubated to isolate bioactive compounds. Liquid‐liquid extraction was performed to obtain extracts (cell‐free and cell‐based), and their efficacy was evaluated.

Swimming modes affect dive durations in diving birds

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Dive duration and body mass are positively correlated across air‐breathing vertebrate species, but other factors affecting dive duration are inadequately studied. Here, we examined the effect of a previously overlooked factor, swimming mode, using phylogenetically informed statistics with data on the diving capabilities of 53 species of avian divers ...

Dissemination and genetic diversity of chlamydial agents in Polish wildfowl: Isolation and molecular characterisation of avian Chlamydia abortus strains.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Wild birds are considered as a reservoir for avian chlamydiosis posing a potential infectious threat to domestic poultry and humans. Analysis of 894 cloacal or fecal swabs from free-living birds in Poland revealed an overall Chlamydiaceae prevalence of ...
