Bringing back the dead: Genetic data from avian carcasses
Advances in laboratory methods and DNA sequencing technology have enabled genetic analyses of noninvasive samples, museum specimens, fossil material, and more recently, carcasses.

Modeling Mito-nuclear Compatibility and its Role in Species Identification [PDF]
Mitochondrial genetic material is widely used for phylogenetic reconstruction and as a barcode for species identification. Here we study how mito-nuclear interactions affect the accuracy of species identification by mtDNA, as well as the speciation process itself.

Diversity, abundance, and host relationships of avian malaria and related haemosporidians in New Mexico pine forests [PDF]
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.

Species Limits and Phylogeography of North American Cricket Frogs (Acris: Hylidae) [PDF]
Cricket frogs are widely distributed across the eastern United States and two species, the northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) and the southern cricket frog (A. gryllus) are currently recognized. We generated a phylogenetic hypothesis for Acris using

The first complete mitogenome of Australia’s largest raptor, the wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax)
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

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

Search for virus specific DNA sequences and viral particles in mitochondria of avian leukemic myeloblasts [PDF]
The intracellular localization of the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) genome was studied. Nuclear and mitochondrial DNAs from myeloblasts were examined by hybridization with 32P labeled AMV-RNA of high molecular weight for the presence of virus specific
