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 ...

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

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 ...

Overwintering and Resident Birds in Qatar: Explorations With DNA Barcoding. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We obtained DNA barcodes for 115 birds (34 species, 12 orders) in Qatar, a country with no previous barcode sequence data for wild birds. We provide insights on locally breeding species and overwintering migrants. ABSTRACT Genetic research is unevenly distributed across the globe, with most research done in temperate zones.

New record of the chewing louse Myrsidea dissimilis (Kellogg, 1896) (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) parasitizing a Purple Martin, Progne subis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Passeriformes: Hirundinidae) in Amazonas, Brazil

Entomological Communications, 2023
The chewing lice are obligatory ectoparasites of birds and mammals distributed worldwide. From an expedition to Comaru Island, Brazilian Amazon, a chewing louse parasitizing a Purple Martin [Progne subis (Linnaeus, 1758)], a Neotropical migrant, was ...

Tropical insectivorous birds’ predation patterns that promote forest–farmland trophic connectivity for integrated top–down pest biocontrol

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Although conversion of natural forest to agriculture can negatively impact biodiversity in many ways, some affected species may respond by dispersing across the forest–farmland eco-zone, thereby facilitating functional connections through food-web ...
