Evidence of Avian Predation on a Critically Endangered Elasmobranch, the Halavi Guitarfish (<i>Glaucostegus halavi</i>), in the Red Sea. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe report six cases of suspected and confirmed osprey predation events on early lifestage Halavi guitarfish in the Al Wajh lagoon, northern Red Sea. These observations provide rare evidence of avian‐elasmobranch interactions in the region, and suggest that the use of shallow habitats may increase exposure to osprey predation.

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Philippine Eagles (<i>Pithecophaga jefferyi</i> Ogilvie-Grant 1896) From the Greater Mindanao Faunal Region. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMitogenome sequencing is a promising alternative for the genetic studies of animals. In this work, we examined the genetic diversity of the critically endangered and endemic Philippine eagles and their evolutionary relationship to other birds of prey.

Flight Altitude of Common Cranes (<i>Grus grus</i>) Crossing the Arkona Basin (Baltic Sea): Implications for Offshore Wind Farm Development. [PDF]
Ecol EvolStudy comprises the first field study of the flight altitude of the common crane (Grus grus) during seasonal migrations across the Baltic Sea. Our investigations clearly indicate that despite weather‐induced variations in the flight altitude, the majority of cranes will cross the Baltic Sea at altitudes between 50 and 250 m.

Thermoregulation and heat exchange in ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) [PDF]
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2021 The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a cosmopolitan and long-distant migrant, found at all thermal extremes ranging from polar to tropical climates. Since ospreys may have an unusually flexible thermal physiology due to their migration over, and use of, a wide range of habitats, they represent an interesting study system to explore thermoregulatory ...

Behavioral correlates of semi-zygodactyly in Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) based on analysis of internet images [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Ospreys are renowned for their fishing abilities, which have largely been attributed to their specialized talon morphology and semi-zygodactyly−the ability to rotate the fourth toe to accompany the first toe in opposition of toes II and III.
