Tuberculosis Susceptibility and Inbreeding Depression Hinder <i>Ex Situ</i> Conservation in a Critically Endangered Rainforest Bird. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Captive breeding can be a key component of species conservation strategies, but also exposes these rare species to novel environments including the pathogen landscape. The critically endangered white‐winged wood duck (WWWD) Asarcornis scutulata has experienced substantial population declines, local extirpations and fragmentation of its former ...

Assessing the Genetic Health and Conservation Value of an Introduced Urban Population of a Critically Endangered Parrot. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Non‐native species can be introduced to novel environments such as cities via wildlife trade. These populations may have conservation value—particularly if they are of a species threatened in its native range. Genetic tools can help assess the fitness of introduced populations by indicating if they are (1) suffering the consequences typically ...

The first complete mitogenome of Australia’s largest raptor, the wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 In this paper, we report the genomic architecture of a complete mitogenome from a Wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax). The mitogenome sequence was circular, and 17,494 bp in length. Compared to other members of the family Accipitridae, the genome encoded a

Diversity, abundance, and host relationships of avian malaria and related haemosporidians in New Mexico pine forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Avian malaria and related haemosporidian parasites (genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon) affect bird demography, species range limits, and community structure, yet they remain unsurveyed in most bird communities and populations.

Parasitology, 2023 The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...
