Different meal, same flavor: cospeciation and host switching of haemosporidian parasites in some non-passerine birds

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Previous studies have shown that haemosporidian parasites (Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) and Plasmodium) infecting passerine birds have an evolutionary history of host switching with little cospeciation, in particular at low taxonomic levels

Simplified, Portable and Cost‐Efficient Airborne eDNA Metabarcoding to Expand Tropical Biodiversity Assessments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This study introduces a liquid‐based sampling approach for airborne eDNA (A). Using a greenhouse mock‐community for optimization (B), we use the novel approach in the tropical Andes to demonstrate its versatility and the complementary nature of airborne and aquatic eDNA for molecular biodiversity assessments (C).

第十八讲 鸠鸽类

野生动物学报, 1986
鸠鸽目 （Columbiformes） 皆为陆鸟,除南、北极外,分布几乎遍于全球。鸠鸽目分为三科,即愚鸠科 （Raphidae） （绝灭）、沙鸡科 （Pteroclididae） 和鸠鸽科 （Colum-bidae）。有的学者 （Goodwin,1983） 主张把沙鸡科 （Pteroclididae） 并人鸻形目 （Charadriiformes）,而不列入鸠鸽目。形态鸠鸽的起源,
