Predatory functional morphology in raptors: interdigital variation in talon size is related to prey restraint and immobilisation technique. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Despite the ubiquity of raptors in terrestrial ecosystems, many aspects of their predatory behaviour remain poorly understood. Surprisingly little is known about the morphology of raptor talons and how they are employed during feeding behaviour.

Observations on Alloparental Care of Fledglings in Osprey Pandion haliaetus (Aves, Pandionidae)
Vieraea, 2011 We describe the adoption and alloparental care of fledglings by an Osprey pair during two consecutive breeding seasons (2008-09) in the small and semi-colonial cliff nesting population of Tenerife (Canary Islands). The intruding broods (two fledglings each year) switched nest a few days after fledging (≤ 10 days in 2008 and ≤ 6 in 2009).

A New Osprey From the Miocene of California (Falconiformes: Pandionidae)
Smithsonian Contributions To Paleobiology, 1976 Two nearly complete humeri and two partial ulnae from Barstovian age Miocene deposits at Sharktooth Hill, near Bakersfield, Kern County, California, are described as the first known extinct species of the modern genus Pandion. Possible functional implications of the morphological differences observed between the fossil species and modern P.
