Mortality associated with avian reovirus infection in a free-living magpie (Pica pica) in Great Britain [PDF]
, 2015 Avian reoviruses (ARVs) cause a range of disease presentations in domestic, captive and free-living bird species. ARVs have been reported as a cause of significant disease and mortality in free-living corvid species in North America and continental ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Evolution of a cluster of innate immune genes (β-defensins) along the ancestral lines of chicken and zebra finch [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND:Avian beta-defensins (AvBDs) represent a group of innate immune genes with broad antimicrobial activity. Within the chicken genome, previous work identified 14 AvBDs in a cluster on chromosome three.

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.

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Background Osseous metaplasia is a rare condition characterized by abnormal bone growth in soft tissues. Although documented in mammals, intraocular osseous metaplasia is uncommon in avian species and has been poorly characterized in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).

A simple method for assessing the completeness of a geographic range size estimate
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Measuring geographic range size is a fundamental part of ecology and conservation. Geographic range size is used as a criterion by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in estimating species extinction risk.

Water bathing alters the speed-accuracy trade-off of escape flights in European starlings [PDF]
, 2009 Birds of most species regularly bathe in water, but the function of this behaviour is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that water bathing is important in feather maintenance, and hence should enhance flight performance. We manipulated European starlings'

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.
