An updated checklist of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 biting midges from the highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo Une liste mise à jour des moucherons piqueurs de Culicoides Latreille, 1809 des hautes terres de l'est de la République démocratique du Congo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 422-440, June 2026.
The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

A new species of Muscicapa flycatcher from Sulawesi, Indonesia.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The Indonesian island of Sulawesi, a globally important hotspot of avian endemism, has been relatively poorly studied ornithologically, to the extent that several new bird species from the region have been described to science only recently, and others ...

Unravelling the diversity of the Crassiphialinae (Digenea: Diplostomidae) with molecular phylogeny and descriptions of five new species

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Crassiphialinae Sudarikov, 1960 is a large subfamily of the Diplostomidae Poirier, 1886 with a complex taxonomic history. It includes a diversity of species parasitic in the intestines of avian and mammalian definitive hosts worldwide.

Genetic Differences in Purple Finch (Haemorhous purpureus) Are Linked With Subspecies and Migratory Behaviour Differences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We used ddRADseq data to assess the genetic population structure of purple finch populations in North America. We found differences among and within subspecies. We also found genes that were under selection and associated with differences observed in subspecies and migratory phenotypes.

Unraveling the host range of Plasmodium huffi: morphological, histopathological and molecular characterization in red-legged seriemas from Brazil

Parasitology
Avian Plasmodium parasites can be pathogenic to their vertebrate hosts. Although cases of anaemia are frequently reported in parasitized birds, the potential damage caused by the parasite during the exoerythrocytic reproduction phase remains poorly ...

Hybridization between two recently diverged Neotropical passerines: The Pearly-bellied Seedeater Sporophila pileata, and the Copper Seedeater S. bouvreuil (Aves, Passeriformes, Thraupidae).

PLoS ONE, 2020
The small Neotropical finches called capuchinos are outstanding because they have experienced one of the most recent and explosive avian radiations ever documented for birds. Despite very low morphological and niche divergence among species, many of them

The use of mitochondrial DNA genes to identify closely related avian species

, 2009
Species identification using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) loci is a standard method for mammalian species testing. Less is understood about the conservation and variability in the avian mitochondrial genome, yet many exotic bird species are threatened with ...

Genetic Divergence of an Avian Endemic on the Californian Channel Islands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The Californian Channel Islands are near-shore islands with high levels of endemism, but extensive habitat loss has contributed to the decline or extinction of several endemic taxa. A key parameter for understanding patterns of endemism and demography in

Search for virus specific DNA sequences and viral particles in mitochondria of avian leukemic myeloblasts

, 1977
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

Genetic divergence between isolated populations of the North Island New Zealand Rifleman (Acanthisitta chloris granti) implicates ancient biogeographic impacts rather than recent habitat fragmentation

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
This research investigates the extent and causal mechanisms of genetic population divergence in a poorly flighted passerine, the North Island Rifleman or Titipounamu (Acanthisitta chloris granti).
