The complete mitogenome of red-collared lorikeet (Trichoglossus rubritorquis) and its phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitogenome of a lorikeet, Trichoglossus rubritorquis (Psittaciformes, Loriidae), was determined first in the genus Trichoglossus. The assembled mitogenome was 17,915 bp and composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs and two ...

Relationship between carina size and sternum morphology in birds reflects physical constraints of body size and flight style

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Sternum morphology varies among birds and is a function of body mass and order. The area of the sternum is inversely related to the area of the keel suggesting that the increase in bone mass associated with a large keel has been mitigated by a reduction in bone mass of the sternum.

Functional Morphology of the Pedal Musculature and Grip Force Estimation in the Red‑and‑Green Macaw (Ara chloropterus Gray, 1859)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Integration of detailed hindlimb anatomy with biomechanical analyses demonstrates that pedal performance in the red‐and‐green macaw is driven by specialized muscle architecture and force distribution. Hypertrophy of digit IV flexor musculature, together with modifications of the intrinsic and extensor muscles, enhances grasping stability, climbing, and

Bat Community Composition and Post‐Departure Degradation Patterns of eDNA Shed by Migratory Cave Bats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This study evaluated airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) as a non‐invasive tool for monitoring the endangered Mexican long‐nosed bat (Leptonycteris nivalis) and other cave‐dwelling bats by examining how eDNA detections persisted after the bats' seasonal departure and varied throughout the cave.

Protocolo anestésico para periquito australiano (Melopsittacus undulatus)

open access: yes, 2023
Avian anesthesia is a controversial area of study due to the different morphophysiology for each of the species. Which makes it necessary to propose reliable protocols for those in captivity, which in addition to contributing to their conservation and ...

A Multispecies Systematic and Critical Review of Intranasal Administration in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Emergency Care: Promising Evidence and Overlooked Challenges

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review evaluates the clinical potential and limitations of intranasal (IN) drug administration in veterinary anaesthesia and emergency care. IN delivery can provide clinically relevant sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, but its success is not universally reliable and is strongly influenced by species‐specific anatomy, formulation ...

Clinical approach to small psittacines and passerines

open access: yesIn Practice, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 181-189, May 2026.
Background: The most commonly encountered small avian species in clinical practice are psittacines, such as budgerigars, cockatiels and lovebirds, and passerines, such as finches and canaries. These birds are increasingly presented for veterinary treatment, with owners expecting a high standard of care.
