Optimization of Sperm Cryopreservation Protocol for Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Sperm cryopreservation is a complex process that needs to be adapted to wild and domestic avian species to ensure proper efficiency. Because of its accessibility, the peregrine falcon may be used as a good model for studying other raptor species. To find

Basal levels of inorganic elements, genetic damages, and hematological values in captive Falco peregrinus [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022 It is essential to determine the basal pattern of different biomarkers for future evaluation of animal health and biomonitoring studies. Due to their great displacement capacity and to being at the top of their food chains, birds of prey are suitable for

Primer registro de Serratospiculum tendo (Nematoda: Diplotriaenidae) para el Perú
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2014 Reportamos por primera vez la presencia del nematodo, Serratospiculum tendo Nitzsch, 1819, parasitando los sacos aéreos de un halcón peregrino (Falco peregrinus Tunstall, 1771). Seis nematodos (2 machos y 4 hembras) fueron colectados e identificados como

Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

Sedimentary Metagenomics Reveal Avian Community Transitions From the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...
