Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

No support for solar radiation as a major evolutionary driver of malar stripes in falcons
The malar stripes of falcons (Falco spp.) are often hypothesised to function by reducing the amount of solar glare reflected into the falcon's eyes while hunting, thereby aiding foraging efficiency in bright conditions. This ‘solar glare hypothesis' is supported by intraspecific trends in peregrine falcons Falco peregrinus, in which populations ...

A novel framework for determining the causes of mortality of large GPS‐tagged birds, the LIFE EUROKITE Assessment Protocol (LEAP), was developed. LEAP integrates GPS tracking data, site investigation, and necropsy to derive mortality causes and a corresponding certainty score. Two case studies demonstrated improvements in mortality assessments compared
