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 ...

Relationship between developmental modes, flight styles, and wing morphology in birds
The European Zoological Journal, 2017 The aim of this work is to estimate the relationship between developmental mode and flight style, body mass and wing morphology of birds. We revealed high evolutionary correlation between developmental mode and flight style of birds.

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

Diet of two coexisting martins (Passeriformes: Hirundinidae) from southeastern Brazil
Ornithology Research, 2022 Diets of birds are still a subject not well documented for many species of birds. Despite its importance for the understanding of the natural history and life history theory, the knowledge of Neotropical birds’ diet is still incipient. Here we studied the diets of two species of martins, the purple martin Progne subis and the brown-chested martin P ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A 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 ...

Scientific Reports, 2019 Extra-pair paternity rates vary markedly across avian taxa, but patterns of variation in this trait have been obscured by a paucity of data on closely related species, especially those spanning broad environmental gradients.

Flight Behavior of Individual Aerial Insectivores Revealed by Novel Altitudinal Dataloggers
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Swallows and martins (Aves: Hirundinidae) are well-studied with respect to their breeding biology, but major aspects of their individual aerial movement behavior and ecology are poorly understood.

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011 Many authors have discussed use of birds (and other organisms) as sensitive biomonitors for climate change. In this paper we investigate the long-term trends in first arrival dates of the long-distance migratory House Martin, Delichon urbica (Linneus ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 571-587, April 2026.Mist‐net sampling comprises a key methodological component of assemblage‐wide avifaunal studies, particularly in the understorey of closed‐canopy tropical forests. To investigate mist‐net bird captures and species assemblage structure, we compiled data from 312 sites across the Pan‐Amazon.
