Ethology, EarlyView.Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

Capturing Crows for the Protection of Threatened and Endangered Shorebird Species
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Corvids are highly intelligent and capable of thriving in anthropogenic ecosystems. American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) regularly depredate threatened and endangered avian species.

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 With large expanses of open vegetation, airports serve as major attractants for numerous bird species, such as the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), which can lead to high risk of bird–aircraft collision.

Ibis, EarlyView.The Hooded Crow, a bird species that once occurred only in agricultural areas, has colonized urban environments in the last 50–100 years in Europe. Apart from higher food availability, safer nesting sites, better thermoregulation and lower predation in cities, persecution through hunting, trapping or poisoning by humans in rural areas is an important ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.New World vultures are the only avian clade proposed to lack a syrinx and have been described as non‐vocal. Using dissection, diceCT, and histology, we demonstrate that cathartid vultures have novel syringeal features that form a syrinx and vocal characterization reveals that they produce more complex vocalizations than previously reported.

Role of Bird Movements in the Epidemiology of West Nile and Avian Influenza Virus
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Avian influenza virus (AIV) is influenced by site fidelity and movements of bird hosts. We examined the movement ecology of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) as potential hosts for West Nile virus (WNV) and greater white-fronted geese (Anser ...

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2300-2312, October 2026.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

West Nile Virus Temperature Sensitivity and Avian Virulence Are Modulated by NS1-2B Polymorphisms.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 West Nile virus (WNV) replicates in a wide variety of avian species, which serve as reservoir and amplification hosts. WNV strains isolated in North America, such as the prototype strain NY99, elicit a highly pathogenic response in certain avian species,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Long‐legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) nests function as long‐term reservoirs of macroplastics, with plastic material persisting in nest structures and being transferred to other bird species through interspecific nest reuse. This persistence creates an overlooked pathway for the accumulation and spread of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with
