Avian Influenza Surveillance Among Migratory Birds, Poultry, and Humans Around Nansi Lake, China, 2021–2024 [PDF]
VirusesAvian influenza A viruses (AIVs) pose a significant pandemic threat due to their cross-species transmission potential. However, AIV surveillance at the critical “migratory birds–poultry-exposed population” interface remains limited. Between 2021 and 2024,

Avian magnetoreception: elaborate iron mineral containing dendrites in the upper beak seem to be a common feature of birds [PDF]
, 2010 The magnetic field sensors enabling birds to extract orientational information from the Earth’s magnetic field have remained enigmatic. Our previously published results from homing pigeons have made us suggest that the iron containing sensory dendrites ...
