Multilocus perspectives on the monophyly and phylogeny of the order Charadriiformes (Aves)
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The phylogeny of shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes) and their putative sister groups was reconstructed using approximately 5 kilobases of data from three nuclear loci and two mitochondrial genes, and compared to that based on two other nuclear

First data on the trematode fauna of wetland birds in the Samara region (European Russia)
Acta Biologica SibiricaWe have conducted the first study of trematodes in wetland birds of the Samara region (European Russia). A total of 25 trematode species from 12 families were identified in 8 species of birds.

Microsatellite typing of avian clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
, 2011 Aspergillosis is one of the most common causes of death in captive birds. Aspergillosis in birds is mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a ubiquitous and opportunistic saprophyte.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.

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

Repertoire of food acquisition behaviors in Western Palearctic shorebirds (Aves, Charadriiformes)
Frontiers in EthologyShorebirds are iconic examples of food resource partitioning through use of contrasted morphological structures to acquire food. Differences in beak lengths and shapes allow species catching their food at various sediment depths.
