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.

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

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 ...

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 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 ...
