Ecological constraints on elevational gradients of bird species richness in Tajikistan

Avian Research, 2022
The avifauna in Tajikistan has been widely studied for the last century, but specific work on species richness pattern along elevation gradients in Tajikistan is rarely investigated. Here, we reported the first study of bird species richness (BSR) in the

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

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Introducing TropiCam‐AI: A taxonomically flexible automated classifier of Neotropical arboreal mammals and birds from camera‐trap data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...
