Survey of avifauna of the Gharana wetland reserve: implications for conservation in a semi-arid agricultural setting on the Indo-Pakistan border

BMC Zoology, 2017
Background The Gharana wetland conservation reserve (GWCR) is a semi-arid wetland adjacent to agricultural areas on the Indo-Pakistani border. Despite being declared an Important Bird Area (IBA) by Birdlife International, the occurrence and distribution ...

Symmetric Responses to Diet by Plumage Carotenoids in Violet-Sensitive Piciform–Coraciiform Birds

Diversity
Biological studies on symmetry can be expanded to consider red (longer wavelengths) and blue (shorter wavelengths) shifts as antisymmetries (opposite-pattern symmetries), which may arise from similar underlying causes (invariant process symmetries).

Rapid responses of marsh birds to large‐scale tidal wetland restoration in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
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

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

Population densities and diurnal activity pattern of the Indian Roller Coracias benghalensis (Aves: Coraciiformes) in Nagapattinam District, Tamil Nadu, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2010
Population densities and diurnal activity pattern of the Indian Roller were studied in Nagapattinam District over three years in different habitats. The agricultural lands supported the highest populations (41km-2), followed by river banks (36km-2) and ...

An overview of the oldest and most comprehensive avifauna of the early Eocene British London Clay

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Early Eocene birds from the British London Clay have been known for two centuries, but a comprehensive understanding of the avifauna of the London Clay Formation is still in its infancy. In the present study, the bird assemblage of the Walton Member is reviewed, which represents one of the oldest subdivisions of the formation.

Risks to birds traded for African traditional medicine: a quantitative assessment.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Few regional or continent-wide assessments of bird use for traditional medicine have been attempted anywhere in the world. Africa has the highest known diversity of bird species used for this purpose.

Integumentary fibrosarcoma in a free‐living swan (Cygnus olor): Medical and welfare considerations

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐kg adult male mute swan (Cygnus olor) of unknown age was admitted for investigations of two large ventral masses overlying the keel bone, which were discharging purulent material. The masses measured 8.9 × 2.1 cm and 4.2 × 3.2 cm. Empirical treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and antimicrobials was instigated.
