Salmonella spp. in Wild Free-Living Birds from Atlantic Forest Fragments in Southern Bahia, Brazil. [PDF]
Wild animals have an ecological function and can serve as sentinels to identify infectious agents and as indicators of environmental health. Among the zoonotic pathogens, Salmonella spp. deserve special attention due to their high worldwide prevalence and their ubiquity of hosts. With the aim of investigating the presence of Salmonella spp.

Trophic position determines the persistence of neotropical understory birds after forest disturbance. [PDF]
We studied whether an understory bird species' trophic position or niche width determines its persistence after forest disturbance in the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica. Using stable isotope methodology, we found a significant effect of trophic position: Species feeding at low trophic levels in old‐growth forests were less likely to persist in ...

Cranial osteology of Geotrygon montana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Columbiformes: Columbidae) compared to other New World Columbiformes [PDF]
Studies on cranial osteology of Columbidae are not frequent in the literature. This is the first description of the jaw apparatus of G. montana and we had as objectives: to compare its jaw apparatus with other New World Columbidae and thus broaden our ...
