Source amplitude increases with body‐mass across avian genera
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 127-139, January 2026.Amplitude, or intensity, of sound is a fundamental characteristic of acoustic communication, with relevance in many scientific fields. The amplitude of an animal's acoustic signal at its source (‘source amplitude’) may be particularly relevant in the field of acoustic allometry, where relationships between species' physical and acoustic features (e.g ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 82-93, January 2026.The preservation of bony structures which enclose the hearing organs (ECD) provide a basis for interpreting the hearing capabilities of the extinct, flightless Dromornithidae (Aves). Although the length of the dromornithid ECD was especially short, relative to basicranial length, it conformed to the negative allometric scaling relationships observed in

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...
