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.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Modelling demographic changes through time in combination with phylogenomic reconstructions provides a promising avenue to better understand the impact of past environmental changes on biogeographic patterns, yet we have only begun to exploit this potential.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study explores the use of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from haematophagous leeches to assess vertebrate biodiversity in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. By applying Sanger sequencing with five primer sets, we detected 17 unique vertebrate taxa, including the rare Leptobrachium waysepuntiense, demonstrating the potential of iDNA as a ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Avian communities from South America harbor an extraordinary diversity of Leucocytozoon species (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae). Here, of 890 birds sampled, 10 (1.2%) were infected with Leucocytozoon parasites. Among them, two new species were discovered

Reproductive Isolation and Cryptic Introgression in a Sky Island Enclave of Appalachian Birds [PDF]
, 2013 Reproductive isolation is central to the speciation process, and cases where the strength of reproductive isolation varies geographically can inform our understanding of speciation mechanisms.

Free Radicals in Health and Disease
MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.Free radicals have dual roles that can either selectively create oxidative damages to transformed cells in treating proliferative diseases such as cancers and some dermatological disorders or boost the antioxidant system in treating degenerative diseases such as neurodegenerative disorder, joint degeneration, and metabolic conditions.

Pleistocene phylogeographic effects on avian populations and the speciation process. [PDF]
, 1998 Pleistocene biogeographic events have traditionally been ascribed a major role in promoting speciations and in sculpting the present-day diversity and distributions of vertebrate taxa.

Divergence with gene flow and fine-scale phylogeographical structure in the wedge-billed woodcreeper, Glyphorynchus spirurus, a Neotropical rainforest bird. [PDF]
, 2009 Determining the relative roles of vicariance and selection in restricting gene flow between populations is of central importance to the evolutionary process of population divergence and speciation. Here we use molecular and morphological data to contrast
