Convergent evolution in social swallows (Aves: Hirundinidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractBehavioral 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. Swallows and martins (Hirundinidae) are aerial insectivores that exhibit a range of social behaviors, from solitary to ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals distinct trophic niches among sympatric aerial insectivores (Family: Apodidae and Hirundinidae) in central Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
Nature ConservationUnderstanding the dietary preferences of aerial insectivores is essential for assessing their ecological roles in ecosystem energy flow. Despite this importance, few integrative studies have examined dietary overlap and niche segregation among coexisting

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

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

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