Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 830-842, May 2026.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.

Sex-specific effects of cooperative breeding and colonial nesting on prosociality in corvids
eLife, 2020 The investigation of prosocial behavior is of particular interest from an evolutionary perspective. Comparisons of prosociality across non-human animal species have, however, so far largely focused on primates, and their interpretation is hampered by the

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

The problem of free will is child's play
Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 147-154, April 2026.Abstract I argue that the essence of ‘free will’ is control, the ability to do otherwise and that this ability is an acquired skill: We can and do see people acquire it, as for example small children learn to play and to do all the other things that human agents characteristically do.

A first-generation microsatellite-based genetic linkage map of the Siberian jay (): insights into avian genome evolution [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Genomic resources for the majority of free-living vertebrates of ecological and evolutionary importance are scarce. Therefore, linkage maps with high-density genome coverage are needed for progress in genomics of wild species.
