Sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome of the common raven Corvus corax (Aves: Corvidae) confirms mitogenome-wide deep lineages and a paraphyletic relationship with the Chihuahuan raven C. cryptoleucus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Previous studies based on single mitochondrial markers have shown that the common raven (Corvus corax) consists of two highly diverged lineages that are hypothesised to have undergone speciation reversal upon secondary contact. Furthermore, common ravens

Vocal recognition of a nest-predator in black grouse [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Corvids count among the important predators of bird nests. They are vocal animals and one can expect that birds threatened by their predation, such as black grouse, are sensitive to and recognize their calls.

A spatially explicit modeling framework to guide management of subsidized avian predator densities
Ecosphere, 2023 Anthropogenic resource subsidization across western ecosystems has contributed to widespread increases in generalist avian predators, including common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, raven).

Isotopic analysis reveals landscape patterns in the diet of a subsidized predator, the common raven
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021 Anthropogenic subsidies to native predators can have cascading effects on sensitive prey populations, but the spatial mechanisms behind these effects are often unknown.

Threat-sensitive anti-predator defence in precocial wader, the northern lapwing Vanellus vanellus [PDF]
, 2016 Birds exhibit various forms of anti-predator behaviours to avoid reproductive failure, with mobbing—observation, approach and usually harassment of a predator—being one of the most commonly observed. Here, we investigate patterns of temporal variation in

Efficacy of CPTH-Treated Egg Baits for Removing Ravens
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Human-altered landscapes have provided resource subsidies for common ravens (Corvus corax) resulting in a substantial increase in raven abundance and distribution throughout the United States and Canada in the past 25 years.

Basic blood biochemical parameters of wild common ravens (Corvus corax) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Baseline haematological and biochemical blood parameters in healthy wild birds are key to managing wild populations and to saving critically ill individuals. This knowledge is crucial for the care, rehabilitation and the release of birds after treatment in wildlife rescue centres.
