Design, Validation, and Implementation Considerations for Species‐Targeted Environmental RNA Assays to Detect Presence and Physiological State

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental RNA (eRNA) is emerging as a promising tool for detecting species presence and physiological condition, with its broader adoption expected to benefit from continued refinement of assay design, validation strategies, and adaptable workflows.

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).

Multi-locus sequence data illuminate demographic drivers of Pleistocene speciation in semi-arid southern Australian birds (Cinclosoma spp.) [PDF]

, 2016
Background: During the Pleistocene, shifts of species distributions and their isolation in disjunct refugia led to varied outcomes in how taxa diversified. Some species diverged, others did not.

Structural instability and concerted evolution in the mitochondrial control region of the grey‐headed lapwing Vanellus cinereus during range expansion

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Mitochondrial genome duplications, particularly within the control region, can influence evolutionary trajectories and population structure, yet their prevalence and dynamics in birds remain insufficiently understood. The rey‐headed lapwing Vanellus cinereus has recently undergone a rapid range expansion in Japan, providing a unique opportunity to ...

Disentangling Leucocytozoon parasite diversity in the neotropics: Descriptions of two new species and shortcomings of molecular diagnostics for leucocytozoids

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

Dialect Formation in Ghost Bats: Genetic, Geographic and Morphological Drivers of Social and Echolocation Call Divergence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dialect formation in the vocal repertoire of the ghost bat Macroderma gigas was investigated by comparing acoustic, geographic, genetic and morphological distances among colonies in the Northern Territory Australia. Dialects were detected in all vocalisation types examined, and while genetic (and geographic distance) explained some of the variation ...

Characterization of the mitogenomes for two sympatric breeding species in Recurvirostridae (Charadriiformes) and their phylogenetic implications

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Recurvirostridae is a family of Charadriiformes that displays an amazing amount of characterization at evolutionary level. The mitogenomes of Himantopus himantopus and Recurvirostra avosetta are 17,378 bp and 16,856 bp in size, respectively.

Molecular phylogenetics and mitogenomics of three avian dicrocoeliids (Digenea: Dicrocoeliidae) and comparison with mammalian dicrocoeliids

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The Dicrocoeliidae are digenetic trematodes mostly parasitic in the bile ducts and gall bladder of various avian and mammalian hosts. Until recently their systematics was based on morphological data only.

Revision of Madagascar's Dwarf Lemurs (Cheirogaleidae:Cheirogaleus): Designation of Species, Candidate Species Status and Geographic Boundaries Based on Molecular and Morphological Data [PDF]

, 2014
The genus Cheirogaleus, the dwarf lemurs, is a radiation of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. The dwarf lemurs are taxonomically grouped in the family Cheirogaleidae (Infraorder: Lemuriformes) along with the genera Microcebus,
