Pellets recovered from stick nests and new diet items of Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes) [PDF]

, 2014
This is the first record showing eleven species in seven genera of Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes) from Argentina that regurgitate pellets. A total of 627 nests of Furnariidae was examined, and from 84 nests (13.3%), 1,329 pellets were recovered. These

Infecção por riquétsias em carrapatos de aves silvestres em duas ecorregiões da Argentina [PDF]

, 2016
Several tick-borne Rickettsia species are recognized human pathogens in Argentina. Here we evaluated rickettsial infection in ticks collected on passerine birds during 2011-2012 in two eco-regions of Argentina.

Effects of Pleistocene climate changes on species ranges and evolutionary processes in the Neotropical Atlantic Forest [PDF]

, 2016
The effects of global glaciations on the distribution of organisms is an essential element of many diversification models. However, the empirical evidence supporting this idea is mixed, in particular with respect to explaining tropical forest evolution ...

Geographical Effects on the Mass and Dimensions of Finch (Fringillidae, Passeriformes) and Thrush (Turdidae, Passeriformes) Nests

Avian Biology Research, 2016
Birds’ nests exhibit a considerable amount of plasticity in their size and construction. Indeed, several studies have shown that geographical location can affect this plasticity because local climatic conditions appear to affect nest-construction behaviours.

Sexually size dimorphic brains and song complexity in passerine birds [PDF]

, 2004
Neural correlates of bird song involve the volume of particular song nuclei in the brain that govern song development, production, and perception. Intra- and interspecific variation in the volume of these song nuclei are associated with overall brain ...

Resolving Phylogenetic Relationships within Passeriformes Based on Mitochondrial Genes and Inferring the Evolution of Their Mitogenomes in Terms of Duplications

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Mitochondrial genes are placed on one molecule, which implies that they should carry consistent phylogenetic information. Following this advantage, we present a well-supported phylogeny based on mitochondrial genomes from almost 300 representatives of ...

Halcyornis toliapicus (aves: Lower Eocene, England) indicates advanced neuromorphology in Mesozoic Neornithes [PDF]

, 2011
Our recent X-ray micro computer-tomographic (μCT) investigations of Prophaethon shrubsolei and Odontopteryx toliapica from the Lower Eocene London Clay Formation of England revealed the avian brain to have been essentially modern in form by 55 Ma, but ...

Miocene diversification of an open‐habitat predatorial passerine radiation, the shrikes (Aves: Passeriformes: Laniidae)

Zoologica Scripta, 2019
Diversification of avifaunas associated with savannah and steppes appears to correlate with open habitats becoming available, starting in the Miocene. Few comparative analyses exist for families for which all species are predominantly adapted to these ...
