Sex identification of different species of wild birds using a single universal protocol to the bird sexing method based on gene polymorphism

open access: yesRegulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2020
This article presents an elaboration of the protocol for the method of sexing wild birds based on the polymorphism of the CHD gene using P2/P8 primer for Common Pheasant – Phasianus colchicus (Linnaeus, 1758; Galliformes, Phasianidae); Silver Lofur or ...

Functionally Relevant Feeding Enrichment: An Examination of Nectar Feeding Devices With Two Species of Parrot

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Nectar‐based feeding devices increased aerial activity and bucket use while reducing bowl use in rainbow lorikeets but produced little behavioural change in regent parrots. Species‐specific feeding enrichment promotes natural foraging behaviour and may improve welfare in captive nectarivorous parrots.

Memory-specific correlated neuronal activity in higher-order auditory regions of a parrot

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Male budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) are open-ended learners that can learn to produce new vocalisations as adults. We investigated neuronal activation in male budgerigars using the expression of the protein products of the immediate early genes ...

How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 1: Old English to the Age of Discovery

open access: yesWeather, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 306-311, September 2026.
The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We

Rhythm Across Species: Situating Human Speech in a Comparative Framework

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1563, Issue 1, September 2026.
We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds., despite substantial differences in linguistic structure and prosody. A comparative rhythm analysis shows that human speech falls within the range reported

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns
