Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...

Emergence of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in Wild Birds, Brazil. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenIn a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

Host-feeding preferences of Culex pipiens and its potential significance for flavivirus transmission in the Camargue, France. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolWe identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

Overwintering and Resident Birds in Qatar: Explorations With DNA Barcoding. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe obtained DNA barcodes for 115 birds (34 species, 12 orders) in Qatar, a country with no previous barcode sequence data for wild birds. We provide insights on locally breeding species and overwintering migrants. ABSTRACT Genetic research is unevenly distributed across the globe, with most research done in temperate zones.

Cytoplasmic Shift of Interferon Regulatory Factors Co-Evolved With Jawed Vertebrate Innate Immunity. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT The emergence of jaws in early vertebrates introduced a novel feeding apparatus and powerful oral defenses, but it also increased the risk of physical injury and pathogen exposure. Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) play critical roles in orchestrating innate immunity and inflammation in response to invading microbes and tissue damage, with ...
