Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT The order Passeriformes, the most speciose avian order, includes over 6000 species (~60% of all birds). The Amazon Basin alone hosts > 900 bird species, with Passeriformes representing > 500 of them. The family Thamnophilidae comprises ~200 insectivorous species, accounting for 15% of Neotropical passerine richness.

China's most endangered galliform [PDF]
Oryx, 1988 The few remaining forests where the Sichuan hill-partridge lives are all being logged. This species, with its very restricted range, is one of China's most endangered birds and yet it has no protection at all. The authors say a reserve should be set aside for the partridge before it is too late; such action could save not only this species but others ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2725-2738, October 2026.Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2636-2655, October 2026.Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...
