Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Taxonomy and diversity of Marcgraviaceae, north of the São Francisco river, northeast Brazil
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.This study provides a comprehensive assessment of Marcgraviaceae species diversity north of the São Francisco river in northeastern Brazil, analyzing species richness and distribution patterns across 384 000 km² of phytogeographic domains. Through field collections, herbarium studies (both physical and digital), and detailed morphological analyses, we ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

A wild-blue mutant of the Orange-chinned Parakeet (Brotogeris jugularis) from Colombia
Caldasia, 2023 We report an aberrant, blue-colored, Orange-chinned Parakeet from a population inhabiting an urban area in Colombia. This is the first documented record of a wild-blue mutant for this species through its natural distributional range.

Variable social organization and breeding system of a social parrot revealed by genetic analysis
Ibis, EarlyView.Social organization and contributions to reproduction vary widely within and between species that breed in groups. Such variation often arises from the process of group formation, which drives patterns of relatedness and hence the degree of social conflict and co‐operation between group members.

Craniofacial diversification in the domestic pigeon and the evolution of the avian skull. [PDF]
, 2017 A central question in evolutionary developmental biology is how highly conserved developmental systems can generate the remarkable phenotypic diversity observed among distantly related species.

Ibis, EarlyView.Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.
