Migratory Birds as Global Dispersal Vectors [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016 Propagule dispersal beyond local scales has been considered rare and unpredictable. However, for many plants, invertebrates, and microbes dispersed by birds, long-distance dispersal (LDD) might be regularly achieved when mediated by migratory movements.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Invasive alien plant species (IAPS) in urban ecosystems can significantly impact ecosystems and human wellbeing. However, our knowledge on the IAPS in urban ecosystems are limited due to the small number of studies. In this study, we examined features of

Leptin administration does not influence migratory behaviour in white-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Migratory flights by birds are among the most energetically demanding forms of animal movement, and are primarily fueled by fat as an energy source. Leptin is a critical fat-regulation hormone associated with energy balance in non-avian species but its ...

Human infections associated with wild birds. [PDF]
, 2008 IntroductionWild birds and especially migratory species can become long-distance vectors for a wide range of microorganisms. The objective of the current paper is to summarize available literature on pathogens causing human disease that have been ...

Migratory birds, ticks, andBartonella [PDF]
Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2011 Bartonella spp. infections are considered to be vector-borne zoonoses; ticks are suspected vectors of bartonellae. Migratory birds can disperse ticks infected with zoonotic pathogens such as Rickettsia and tick-borne encephalitis virus and possibly also Bartonella.

Research topics and trends of endangered species using text mining in Korea
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020 Continuous development due to human activities has extinctionized many floral and faunal species on earth and seriously threatened the ecosystem. Many countries are working hard to protect and restore endangered species by conducting a range of studies ...

Light-dependent magnetoreception in birds : increasing intensity of monochromatic light changes the nature of the response [PDF]
, 2007 Background The Radical Pair model proposes that magnetoreception is a light-dependent process. Under low monochromatic light from the short-wavelength part of the visual spectrum, migratory birds show orientation in their migratory direction.
