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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
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.

Age‐related changes of oxidative status and immune function in a long‐lived seabird

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Experimental studies in humans and laboratory species have shown that the decline of the immune system with age (immunosenescence) and the accumulation of oxidative damage to macromolecules are two key contributors to the onset and progression of the ageing process. Although laboratory models have provided important insights, the physiological basis of

Detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia duodenalis in Reptiles in Thailand

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are significant intestinal protozoan parasites affecting humans and animals worldwide. These infections are transmitted through the faecal–oral route, by contaminated water, food or close contact with infected hosts.

The hearing capabilities of the Dromornithidae (Aves), with inferences on acoustic communication and ecology

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 82-93, January 2026.
The preservation of bony structures which enclose the hearing organs (ECD) provide a basis for interpreting the hearing capabilities of the extinct, flightless Dromornithidae (Aves). Although the length of the dromornithid ECD was especially short, relative to basicranial length, it conformed to the negative allometric scaling relationships observed in

Establishment, Characterization, and Cryopreservation of Feather Follicle Fibroblast Lines From Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus)

Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 1730-1750, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Cryopreservation, biobanking, and in vitro propagation of cells from endangered species represent key strategies for advancing biodiversity conservation. The Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), a flagship avian species of the Brazilian Pantanal, is among the critically vulnerable taxa that stand to benefit significantly from such ...

How Do Oriental Reed Warblers Recognize Cuckoo Eggs?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
The cognitive basis and underlying mechanisms of the host egg rejection behavior remain not well understood. Egg recognition experiments using three egg mimicry levels (non, poorly, and highly mimetic eggs) to observe Oriental reed warbler (Acrocephalus orientalis) behavior at three breeding stages (pre‐egg‐laying, single host egg, and multiple host ...

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...
