Flying In The Face Of Efficiency: Migratory Swallows (Hirundinidae) Have Less Pointed Wings Than Residents [PDF]
The correlation between migration and more pointed wings is a well-established pattern in avian ecomorphology, and has been supported by a large number of studies over many decades.

Swallows of the north temperate zone display a wide variety of territorial behaviour during the breeding season, but as soon as breeding is over, they all appear to adopt a pattern of independent diurnal foraging interleaved with aggregation every night

Avian viral pathogens in Swallows, Zimbabwe. Infectious diseases in Hirundinidae: A risk to swallow? [PDF]
We sampled 417 swallows in a wetland ecosystem of Zimbabwe in February 2010 and October 2011. RT-PCR tests revealed circulation of avian paramyxovirus type I, avian influenza and West Nile disease viruses in these populations. We discuss the relevance of

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