Adaptation in the Avian Middle Ear—The Columellar Annular Ligament in Aquatic and Diving Birds

open access: yesJournal 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).

Development of Microsatellite Markers for Ex Situ Management of the Harpy Eagle Using Next Generation Sequencing

open access: yesZoo 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.

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors

open access: yesEcology 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.

Unruffling the global feather trade: a comparative analysis of CITES and LEMIS records of feathers and bird skins

open access: yesWildlife 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

open access: yesEcology 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.

New genera and species of feather mites of the family Gabuciniidae (Astigmata: Pterolichoidea) from New World raptors (Aves: Falconiformes)

open access: yes, 2007
: We describe four new species of feather mites of the family Gabuciniidae collected from Accipitridae and Falconidae (Falconiformes) from South and North America. Three of these belong to new genera, Metagabucinia gen. nov.

Mechanism of Waterbird Diversity Succession and Its Contribution to Nutrient Loads in Chagan Lake, China

open access: yesEcology 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.

Host Diet Preference Drives Diversity and Composition of Gut Microbiota in Captive Birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We have quantified gut microbiota composition of 36 bird species representing 15 orders to analyse determinants of diversity and variability patterns among host species. We found that host phylogeny only had limited influence on GM diversity and composition.
