Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

The origin and the fate of the cranial ribs in the avian chondrocrania
Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2012 The origin and the fate of the cranial ribs in three birds; Streptopelia senegalensis aegyptiaca, Pterocles alchata caudacutus and Passer domesticus niloticus, have been described. The requested characters for true cranial ribs are determined.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.New World vultures are the only avian clade proposed to lack a syrinx and have been described as non‐vocal. Using dissection, diceCT, and histology, we demonstrate that cathartid vultures have novel syringeal features that form a syrinx and vocal characterization reveals that they produce more complex vocalizations than previously reported.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2017 Non-invasive techniques for measuring glucocorticoids (GCs) have become more prevalent, due to the advantage of eliminating the effects of animal disturbance on GC levels and their potential to provide an integrated, historic estimate of circulating GC ...

Architecture of the cardiac transverse–axial tubular system across different mammalian species
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Mammalian species differ in ventricular TATS architecture, and cytoplasmic distance to the nearest TATS element covaries with lifespan, body mass, and resting heart rate. Abstract Cardiac excitation–contraction coupling relies on a pancellular network of regular cardiomyocyte surface membrane invaginations, termed the transverse ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
