A Comprehensive Cytogenetic Analysis of Several Members of the Family Columbidae (Aves, Columbiformes). [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2020
The Columbidae species (Aves, Columbiformes) show considerable variation in their diploid numbers (2n = 68-86), but there is limited understanding of the events that shaped the extant karyotypes.

Salmonella spp. in Wild Free-Living Birds from Atlantic Forest Fragments in Southern Bahia, Brazil. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2020
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]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

Invasive rodent responses to experimental and natural hurricanes with implications for global climate change

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Hurricanes cause dramatic changes to forests by opening the canopy and depositing debris onto the forest floor. How invasive rodent populations respond to hurricanes is not well understood, but shifts in rodent abundance and foraging may result from scarce fruit and seed resources that follow hurricanes.

The effect of flight efficiency on gap‐crossing ability in Amazonian forest birds

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 860-868, July 2022., 2022
We determined the role of flight efficiency on the likelihood of crossing a road that bisected an Amazonian forest. We found that flight efficiency was a strong predictor of road‐crossing probability: species with high hand‐wing indices (more elongated wings) crossed the road more frequently than those with low hand‐wing indices.

Socio‐ecological lessons from the multiple landfalls of Hurricane Georges

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Over the course of 16 d in the fall of 1998, Hurricane Georges made landfall on five Caribbean Island nations, two U.S. states, and two territories. Along its path, it impacted nearly every type of built environment and terrestrial and marine ecosystem found in the Caribbean and the southeastern United States.

Impacts of a drought and hurricane on tropical bird and frog distributions

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021
Abstract During the last few decades, much attention has focused on how global change is affecting the environment and species distributions. Land‐use change is still the major cause of species declines worldwide, but changes in species distributions have been documented even in pristine and protected areas.
