Complete mitochondrial genomes provide current refined phylogenomic hypotheses for relationships among ten Hirundo species [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Hirundo is the most species-rich genus of the passerine swallow family (Hirundinidae) and has a cosmopolitan distribution. Here we report the complete, annotated mitochondrial genomes for 25 individuals from 10 of the 14 extant Hirundo species; these ...

Population monitoring and conservation implications of intra‐ and interspecific nest occupation rates in swallows [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
With the exception of a few groups of birds, such as large raptors and colonial seabirds, direct counts of nests cannot be conducted over very large areas for most of the abundant and widely distributed species, and thus indirect methods are used to ...

Conspecific brood parasitism in the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) and other Hirundinidae

bioRxiv
Conspecific brood parasitism (CBP) has been reported in many altricial avian species, yet its prevalence and underlying behavioural mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Convergent evolution in social swallows (Aves: Hirundinidae) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Behavioral shifts can initiate morphological evolution by pushing lineages into new adaptive zones. This has primarily been examined in ecological behaviors, such as foraging, but social behaviors may also alter morphology.

Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow‐rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan. Our data is useful in providing insights into how landscape heterogeneity, cropland composition, and seasonal dynamics influence bird diversity in snowy ...

Emergence of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in Wild Birds, Brazil. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
In a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

New species of Philopterus Nitzsch, 1818 (Ischnocera: Philopteridae), with notes on Cypseloecus Conci, 1941

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
We describe and illustrate eight new species of chewing lice in the genus Philopterus Nitzsch, 1818, parasitic on hosts in the bird families Cardinalidae, Chloropseidae, Hirundinidae, Icteridae, Motacillidae, Paridae, and Vangidae from China, Peru, South
