Rapid Global Deforestation Leaves Forest-Dependent Raptors With Half of Their Suitable Habitat Remaining. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
We analyzed high‐resolution global data on forest change between 2001 and 2023 within the ranges of 369 forest‐dependent raptor species. On average, these species have lost 10% of forest within their ranges since 2001. Seventy‐seven species had already lost at least 15% of additional forest cover within their ranges in the latter half of the 20th ...

Hematozoa and A New Haemoproteid Species from Cathartidae (New World Vulture) In South Carolina

open access: greenJournal of Parasitology, 2011
A survey of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) in South Carolina revealed the presence of a novel haemoproteid. Haemoproteus catharti n. sp. is described from the slides developed from the blood of this vulture. The new species is a thick, halteridial form with complete margins, and is considered distinct from the other recognized haemoproteids from the ...

Simple Bagged Movement Models for Telemetry Data. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We propose a bagged (i.e., bootstrap aggregated) animal movement model using simple, off‐the‐shelf machine learning algorithms. The model is intuitive, retains statistical inference about characteristics of animal movement (i.e., estimated from model‐based summary statistics), and only requires knowledge of elementary statistical and machine learning ...

Frugivory in Raptors: New Observations from Australia and a Global Review

open access: yesBirds, 2021
The diets of raptors are some of the best studied and well-known of all bird groups. Raptors are typically carnivores, hunting and feeding on vertebrates and, for some species, invertebrates. Here, we described instances of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian-Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) in wild birds in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Using RNA sequencing and RT‐PCR, we identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV‐5 and ‐6) associated with haemosporidian infections in passerines and raptors. These findings suggest a high prevalence of these viruses,
