Correlates of genetic monogamy in socially monogamous mammals: insights from Azara's owl monkeys [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding the evolution of mating systems, a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than 50 years, requires examining the genetic consequences of mating and the relationships between social systems and mating systems.

Feather growth rate and mass in nearctic passerines with variablemigratory behavior and molt pattern [PDF]
, 2012 Bird species vary greatly in the duration of their annual complete feather molt. However, such variation is not well documented in birds from many biogeographic areas, which restricts our understanding of the diversification of molt strategies.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

Molecular detection and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in Iran. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:The mobility of birds across or between continents exposes them to numerous vectors that have the potential to transmit pathogens and spread them into new regions. A combination of rich species diversity of birds along with the small amount of

Comparative Phylogeography of Southern African Bird Species Suggests an Ephemeral Speciation Model
Diversity, 2021 Southern Africa is remarkably rich in avian species diversity; however, the evolutionary and biogeographic mechanisms responsible for that diversity are, in general, poorly understood, and this is particularly true with respect to the many species that ...

Ancient DNA & stable isotope profiling of fossil eggshell [PDF]
, 2012 Eggshell is frequently encountered within palaeontological and archaeological deposits and due to various chemical and physical properties, it is highly valued as a substrate for geochronology, palaeodietary and palaeoecological applications. Despite the
