Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

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 ...

Comparison of eye morphology and retinal topography in two species of new world vultures (Aves: Cathartidae) [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2013
ABSTRACTVultures are highly reliant on their sensory systems for the rapid detection and localization of carrion before other scavengers can exploit the resource. In this study, we compared eye morphology and retinal topography in two species of New World vultures (Cathartidae), turkey vultures (Cathartes aura), with a highly developed olfactory sense,

Ecological and Morphological Traits Determine Community‐Wide Responses of Birds to Climate Change in a Tropical Dry Forest

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluate the potential consequences of climate change on the Caatinga Dry Forest, asking how the future climate would affect its avifauna under three different carbon emission scenarios. First, we evaluate potential climate‐induced distributional changes.
