A supertree approach to shorebird phylogeny

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004
Background Order Charadriiformes (shorebirds) is an ideal model group in which to study a wide range of behavioural, ecological and macroevolutionary processes across species. However, comparative studies depend on phylogeny to control for the effects of

Tongue and Glottis Morphology of Cathartes aura and the Secret of Its Functional Adaptation

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cathartes aura, commonly known as the Turkey vulture, is a scavenger bird belonging to the family Cathartidae that is widely distributed throughout the Americas and classified as a New World vulture. Its diet primarily consists of small‐sized carcasses, predominantly of wild animals.

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Dataset from genome sequencing, assembly and mining of microsatellite markers in barred-button quail (Turnix suscitator)

Data in Brief, 2023
Turnix suscitator (barred-button quail) is a member of the primitive genus Turnix in the highly diverse order of shore birds Charadriiformes. Absence of genome scale data of T. suscitator has limited our understanding about its systematics, taxonomic and

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

A global perspective on the annual cycles of whimbrels

Ibis, EarlyView.
Comparative analyses are central to understanding broad‐scale patterns in avian ecology, yet their application is often constrained by fragmented and uneven data availability. Recent advances in tracking technology have generated unprecedented insights into shorebird movements, resulting in numerous studies on single populations or flyways.
