Evidence for West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus Infections in Wild and Resident Birds in Germany, 2017 and 2018 [PDF]
Wild birds play an important role as reservoir hosts and vectors for zoonotic arboviruses and foster their spread. Usutu virus (USUV) has been circulating endemically in Germany since 2011, while West Nile virus (WNV) was first diagnosed in several bird ...

A Reproducible, Data-Driven Approach to Mapping Species Distributions Using Presence-Only Data and Biogeographic Templates. [PDF]
This study presents a novel, data‐driven approach for mapping species' extent of occurrence (EOO) that addresses the issues of reproducibility and precision of expert‐derived range maps. By combining presence‐only data with the operational units of a biogeographic template within a consistent quantitative framework, our approach generates spatially ...

A revision of the fossil genus Miocepphus and other Miocene Alcidae (Aves: Charadriiformes) of the Western North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
This study reviews and describes all known fossils of Alcidae from the Miocene of the western North Atlantic. Because the majority of alcid fossils recovered from Miocene sediments are allied with the genus Miocepphus Wetmore, 1940, the genus is revised ...
