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.

Distribution Status of Birds in Protected Wetland Areas in South Korea [PDF]
Geo DataThis study quantitatively assessed the birds inhabiting Protected Wetland Areas in South Korea. Bird data was compiled based on previously detailed surveys of inland wetlands. A total of 17 orders, 55 families, and 264 species were found in the Protected

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.

Adaptation in the Avian Middle Ear—The Columellar Annular Ligament in Aquatic and Diving Birds
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.The size of the columellar footplate relative to the oval window shows striking variation across species: it fits snugly within the oval window in, for example owls (left), but considerably smaller than the oval window in diving taxa such as cormorants (right).

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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.The population and biodiversity of waterbird in the reserve have increased. NEL and nutrient concentrations significantly increased TLI of lake and reduced waterbird biodiversity. Piscivorous waterbirds can significantly increase the phosphorus load and herbivorous waterbirds can increase nitrogen load.
