Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We 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 ...

Trophic Niche Breadth of Falconidae Species Predicts Biomic Specialisation but Not Range Size
Biology, 2022 Trophic niche breadth plays a key role in biogeographic distribution patterns. Theory posits that generalist strategies are favoured in a more heterogeneous set of environments across a spatio-temporal gradient of resources predictability, conferring ...

Diet of the polecat <em>Mustela putorius</em> L. in riverine habitats (Northern Italy)
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995 <strong>Abstract</strong> Food habits of the polecat (<em>Mustela putorius</em>) were studied by the analysis of 50 scats collected in riverine habitats of northern Italy from 1985 to 1988.

Wing myology of Caracaras (Aves, Falconiformes): muscular features associated with flight behavior [PDF]
Vertebrate Zoology, 2018 Caracaras (Aves, Falconiformes, Falconidae) are Neotropical diurnal raptors that belong to the subfamily Polyborinae. The forelimb myology of this group has not been comprehensively studied or compared with that of other Falconidae.

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands [PDF]
Ecol EvolTo 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.

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 97-108, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), one of the largest birds of prey in the world, is threatened with extinction throughout its entire area of occurrence in the Neotropics. While conservation efforts for the wild populations are crucial, it is also important to focus on ex situ conservation actions.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We 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.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.During the 18th and 19th centuries, bird feathers (class: Aves) were harvested from wild populations and sold globally in enormous quantities to meet the rising demand of the fashion industry. Although many laws now prevent similar widescale harvest, there is a paucity of studies on the trade that has continued to occur since the 20th century.

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.
