Rhinonyssidae and Ereynetidae mites in Columba livia (Columbiformes: Columbidae) in southern Brazil
This study aims to record mites associated with the respiratory system of Columba livia Gmelin, 1789, including data of parasitological indices and of coinfections in southern Brazil. Two hundred and two specimens of C. livia were collected in the urban

Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

ABSTRACT The order Passeriformes, the most speciose avian order, includes over 6000 species (~60% of all birds). The Amazon Basin alone hosts > 900 bird species, with Passeriformes representing > 500 of them. The family Thamnophilidae comprises ~200 insectivorous species, accounting for 15% of Neotropical passerine richness.

Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...
