Investigation of parental care in avocets from the perspectives of behavioural ecology and conservation biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This research encompasses both basic (behavioural ecology) and applied (conservation biology) aspects of the biology of Avocets (Recurvirostra avosetta L.).

Estimating dynamic risk factors for pathogen transmission using community-level bird census data at the wildlife/domestic interface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The ecology of host species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of pathogen transmission and spread in complex multi-host systems. In this article, we use detailed observations of the host community to develop and apply a new approach to mapping ...

High Prevalence and Putative Lineage Maintenance of Avian Coronaviruses in Scandinavian Waterfowl.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are found in a wide variety of wild and domestic animals, and constitute a risk for zoonotic and emerging infectious disease. In poultry, the genetic diversity, evolution, distribution and taxonomy of some coronaviruses have been ...

Inter-familial relationships of the shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes) based on nuclear DNA sequence data

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2003
Background Phylogenetic hypotheses of higher-level relationships in the order Charadriiformes based on morphological data, partly disagree with those based on DNA-DNA hybridisation data. So far, these relationships have not been tested by analysis of DNA

Evolution of supraorbital ossification in Charadriiformes [PDF]

open access: yesThe Auk, 2015
ABSTRACT Phylogenetic analysis of morphological data on 92 species in the order Charadriiformes showed that increased supraorbital ossification (SO) has evolved independently at least 4 times in this clade. Principal component analysis of size-corrected skeletal measures showed that an evolutionary increase in SO was associated with a body plan in ...
