Trans‐sinus fixation for correction of deviation of the gnathotheca in a hawk (Caracara plancus) [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022
Introduction For birds of prey, the integrity of the beak is extremely important for defence, hygiene, socialization and especially, feeding. This paper describes successful trans‐sinus fixation of a lateral deviation of the mandible in a hawk (Caracara ...

Urban Green Spaces Set the Stage for Rare Interspecific Allopreening Between Crested Caracara (Caracara plancus) and Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Urban green spaces and wildlife corridors provide unique opportunities to observe how animals adapt and interact in human‐dominated landscapes. In San Antonio, Texas, both adjacent to and within the Phil Hardberger Park and the Robert L.B.

Morphological description and near-complete mitochondrial genome of Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) trarotraro n. sp.: a widely distributed species reported in Brazilian falcons [PDF]

PeerJ
Haemosporida are vector-borne parasitic protozoa known to be present in birds of most avian orders. However, despite their perceived diversity using DNA barcode approaches, describing and delimiting species is challenging, particularly for those ...

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

Monkey Meltdowns: Do Tantrums Influence Maternal Investment in Bearded Capuchin Monkeys? [PDF]

Dev Psychobiol
ABSTRACT Tantrums are widely discussed in human development literature and are typically defined as displays of frustration or anger. In behavioral ecology, they are hypothesized to function as a strategy for securing greater maternal investment. Infant primates often exhibit tantrums when their attempts to obtain maternal care are rejected.

A Derived Morphology of the Quadrate May Support a Previously Unrecognized Major Higher-Level Clade of Neoavian Birds. [PDF]

J Morphol
The avian quadrate plays a critical role in cranial kinesis, but few comparative studies exist of its morphological variation across higher‐level taxa. In this study, the occurrence of a markedly concave articular facet of the condylus medialis is surveyed across neornithine birds.

Morphologic and Morphometric Study of the Heart and Its Great Arteries in the Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus). [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The common pheasant heart is elongated and conical, with thicker left ventricular walls and a complex atrioventricular valve structure. Purkinje fibres show strong desmin but no α‐SMA expression, providing detailed insights into cardiovascular morphology and adaptations in birds, supporting comparative and conservation studies.
